About
What it is.
Soft Puppy Bites is Wellness's grain-free training treat under the Just for Puppy line, made with real meats, fruits, and vegetables and formulated without wheat, corn, soy, or artificial additives. The soft, chewy texture is built for developing puppy teeth, giving owners a bite-sized reward for reinforcing early training and good behavior.
It's positioned for owners who want a treat that works straight out of the bag for puppies or small dogs, without needing to research formulas or worry about inconsistent results. It suits any-age dogs that do better with a soft, easy-to-portion treat rather than a crunchy option, though it isn't aimed at large adult breeds with different nutritional needs.
The verdict
Wellness Soft Puppy Bites ranks second for training treats among AI panels, with reviewers praising its soft, easily portioned texture and grain-free formula as reliable for puppies and sensitive digestion. The puppy-focused labeling may confuse owners of adult dogs, and only two reviews limit confidence in broader consistency.

What owners single out
Palatability divides owners—some dogs eagerly seek them out while others refuse them entirely, suggesting consistency issues that align with the reviewer concern about limited sample size.
In their words
“These are the best little training treats that are very moist and you can divide them in half along the perforated line down the center of the treat. I find that the dogs love the treats and will try their best to get the command correct most of the time just to get these treats.”
LessonsLearned · verified purchase · chewy.com
“My lab will eat anything and the word "treat" is music to her ears. She spit it out. My westie puppy, who loves salmon, spit it out too. I don't know what it is about this particular treat--but my dogs won't eat them. I just read the label-- unlike the other treats I have purchased--just simple ingredients, no preservatives-- this treat does contain stuff that you don't find in your pantry.”
