These are pretty small but I give my dog two treats at every meal. He loves the treats and I will buy again to help with his joint problems.

For picky dogs, this is a must. I have an 8 year old corgi mix, and getting her to take her daily meds is a pain. She has arthritis and the vet suggested we get her glucosamine tablets. We tried everthing to get her to eat the tablets, but she wouldn't do it. These wafers ended up being the easiest, painless, least time consuming way to get her to take her medicine. Some dogs don't like peanut butter, but for those who do, this product is amazing. I wish more dog medicine companies would provide tasty versions for the pickier ones. However, I admit I am having problems finding them in store. So far, none of the near by co-ops or tractor supply stores have them. Even though they are hard to find, I'd suggest this product for any aging arthritic dog.

Contrary to the previous reviewer, my lab loves these. They are a great small size for training and reward purposes.

They may be good, I really don't know because I guess my dog found the taste unpleasing, and would not eat them.

After purchasing and re-watching The Phantom on Blu-Ray, I realized what a great film this truly is. Superhero movies these days can be great; full of rich characters, great visual effects and superb craftsmanship. They just don't make movies like The Phantom anymore though. It is a fun, cheesy throwback to stories of adventure and love. I found myself smiling the whole way through the movie. The Blu-Ray release also increased the gorgeous cinematography and locations used in the movie. If you haven't seen this movie, or if you have, check it out today!

The Review is for the Product, not the movie itself, so here's the truth of the matter : This Blu-Ray Disc will only play on BRD Players that are Region A ONLY. That's to say if you live outside of the USA and was looking to import it, you're out of luck - It will Play on Region A Players only.

I won't rehash the plot of the movie here-- if you've come to this page looking for the film, you already know the plot. Billy Zane is great as The Phantom and Treat Williams gives a great performance as the ruthless villain Xander Drax. The real value here is the superb picture quality on this Blu-ray disc-- it's outstanding! Colors are bright without being garishly oversaturated and blacks are nice and inky. It's certainly an improvement over the DVD and well worth the $11.99 I paid for the disc. No special features, just the theatrical trailer-- a commentary by Billy Zane and/or director Simon Wincer would have been nice. If you have a Blu-ray player and like this movie, be sure to buy this Blu-ray!

Well i have always liked comics, been reading them since i was 4, yep i learned reading with them :D, and of the few european comics that i liked The Phantom was the one i liked the most. It was mysterious It was funny It had great action and the pencils/inks were beautiful. when i read that they were gonna do a adaptation and saw the production shots i thought they better not screw this. and finally when i saw it in the theatres i was both swimming with joy and grinding my teeth with rage. i was very happy with The Phantom, how the suit was handled (ok in some scenes the glue came off and the chin parts of the mask lifted from the face but they were minor glitches), how the Phantom moved and stood his ground. Zane definetely was a good fit for the role. he was athletic and had that sincere clean smile that Phantom gives under his mask to his friends and sharp, cold, frightening gaze to his enemies. The sidekicks were great :D Devil and Hero :D both very nice examples of their scpecies :D Zane in costume moved like The Phantom moved in the comics. The way he held his guns, the way he crossed hia arms etc etc it was very good those were the parts where i coulndt stop myself smile from joy. But there were a couple scenes points where i was so furious i coulndt help but grind my teeth :( Of 60+ years of publications whoever saw a Walker's face in the comic. but in the movie we get to see in in 5th min :( why they had to go and show the face..a good actor should be able to do his acting without ever showing his face... Look at V for Vendetta. look at Darth Vader (ok they ruined it in return of the jedi too but nonethe less it is one of the most succesfull villian on screen without a face of the actor... ) shadows they could have used shadows to cover most of his face. and whatever happened the the hat and the sun-glasses..ditched in a sec :( and what about the Skull-Cave...Hollywood could build entire planets, universes, giant buildings but all they came up with for Skull-Cave is white paint over a cave opening :( come on guys... in the comics no one would be able to wander in to the cave because they couldnt bring themselves advance to the giant skull shaped rock and that scary opening as the mouth.... those were the weak spots of The Phantom on big screen and overall it was quite an enjoyable watch :D would suggest every fan of the ghost that walks and fan of light action flicks. cheers burak

Yes this movie sent me back to those sunday mornings of reading the comics section when I was a boy. And no I'm not talking about the cartoon that came out some years later. The comic section was weekly suspense just like those cliff hangers in the theaters years ago. And this movie pulled it off as a full blown remake of those comics. You see back then this guy was Kool wih a capital K. And I was glad to see that they went into such detail about his ring. Cause back when I grew up havin a skull ring was like a nose ring nowadays. Kids knew you read the phantom. But enough about back then. This movie rocks. And yes, I'd say that into anyones face cause this guy taught me to stand up to bullys. And to do what was right when I saw something going on that was wrong. Sure it got me punched a few times. But its movies and ideas like this that make a person stronger than he or she thinks they are. And that my children creates CHARACTER. The one thing lacking in most of the kids I see today besides respect. So call me an old crab apple. Say that I'm over the hill. And yes even laugh at me as I walk past you. But by GOD I'll be right there saving your a.. when need be. So go right ahead and put this movie down as a flop. Go right ahead and listen to that idiot friend of yours that smokes that crap and tries to turn you to his side by putting guys like this down. See how far you get in life listening to him. Or, rent this, and Clint Eastwoods "Grand Torino" and sit down with your kids and teach them a thing or two about how a person should react in the face of danger. How respecting another person can make people proud of them. Because thats what this world needs now is kids we can all be proud of. Enough said.

I have a young Arabian, and I have tried countless types of treats. This is the only one that he will eat on a regular basis and actually likes. They work wonderfully for training and rewards.

I received this book as a gift several years ago and have purchased it as a gift several times, since. There are a lot of good recipes for treats and mashes as well as fly spray recipes, home-made fungus cures, etc. You'll refer to it, often.

This had some pretty good recipes in it (I recommend Miss Koko's Biscuits), but many were very time-consuming and hard to prepare, like stuffing apples. Also, I found it frustrating that about 70% of the recipes required horse-specific foods like hay cubes, etc. Of course, if you own a horse, this is not a problem. If you want a good, easy, homemade horse treat (besides the ones in the book) that horses love, try mixing: 1 1/2 grated carrots 1 1/2 grated apples 1/2 cup molasses 10 oz. rolled oats 4 oz. wheat flakes Cook for about one and a half hours at 325 degrees F.

I watched the author prepare a recipe on TV. On a program called Petsburgh USA hosted by animal planet :o) With the test horse there and watching her create these recipies I was amazed :o) Today I have boughten this book right here at Amazon.com..My horses will love these, aside from there regular treats of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and ritz crackers :o)

This book is great you can finds so many ideas to pamper your horse with. Even though I don't own a horse (yet)all the horses in the barn love taste testing them.Its great for Christmas presents and most of all the recipes are easy and inexpensive, some of the recipes you can eat too!

This book provides the beginner to the expert with new and fun ways to papmer your horse with treats you've made. For me the best part is watching him enjoy what I've made as opposed the the store bought varities. It has hints for all around care as well as grooming recipies for flies, tail rubbing, etc. A great addition to anyones horse book collection.

This is my favorite race horse of all times. first book I read about him was from the library. I just love this book...very good read.

I absolutely loved this book! I had read Walter Farley's novel about Man o' War, and enjoyed that book too even though it was written for children. This book is historical fact, but is not at all dry. It is completely about the horse, not the jockey, not the owners (except where and when necessary for clarity, or how they influenced the horse). The authors made Man o' War truly come alive on the pages, and told us about his lineage without losing me. When I read in the Introduction "He was always a horse you referred to as 'who' instead of 'which'" I knew I was in the right book, and was going to love it. It did not let me down; the authors never for a minute consider Man o' War a 'which'--he is always 'who.' Royalty! This book is history made interesting. My parents were born about the time Man o' War was born, and my mother was raised in Saratoga Springs, NY where Mr. Riddle bought Man o' War. I am the owner of a great-great-great granddaughter of Man o' War, great-great granddaughter of War Admiral, Winspiration, and her foal, Dark Stormy Night. These facts explain my special affinity for this book, but those with no such connections, I believe, would still enjoy this book. All my horses are "who," never "which." This is a great book for horse lovers, especially thoroughbred horse lovers.

I grew up reading this book....I was the only one who checked it out of our local library for about 10 years, and I checked it out more than once. So being able to buy it finally was a real treat. Very engaging book that puts you inside the Man o'War story like no other.

I agree with the last reviewer...the book lacked life. Big Red had a big heart, a big career, and a big life. This book was informative but there was little life to it. Man O 'War deserves more. Maybe Laura Hillenbrand has another horse book in her. I hope so.

Perhaps I am a little biased. As a Black Stallion series fan, I have read Walter Farley's account of Man O'War and thought it was fantastic. It was well written, fast paced and informative. However, I figured there were some things missing, or not exact, and like many I've always been intrigued by Big Red, so I tried to find another book about the mostest horse. Cooper and Treat's book came highly recommended so I figured "Why not?" I was not that impressed. The addition of Man o War's heritage and sons and daughters was interesting. And knowing the odds for all the races (the actual tickets are in the book, too) was neat. But I though the book was very slow paced, and very dry. I understand that there was not as much characterization in terms of the people...after all, this was a book about a horse. But Man O' War never really came alive in the pages of this book. At least, not like he did in Farley's. All in all, if it wasn't for the heritage and other extras, I would say to skip this book. There weren't many pictures (let alone good ones) and it was rather dull. You would be better off with Farley's novelization.
