Question:	What's the shelf life
Answer:	I got the peanut butter and banana and they were soft so we didn’t have a problem. I gave my dog a choice between two treats and she will put her paw on this one everytime. Even if I offer her something I’m eating and this (except meat of course) she still chooses this.
Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	not sure but each nugget is approx 7/8" x 1 5/8", I cut them in half for easy eating.
Question:	How hearty/big is the 2 person serving? Debating on single serving versus the larger bag

The result is a meal made from clean ingredients (that you can actually pronounce) that has the taste and texture of homemade, to be enjoyed wherever your adventures may take you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this company use peanuts in any of there meals
Answer:	We use these for our dog’s pills he takes every night. You can’t really wrap it, but it works to more smoosh it around and form a ball around the pill. I d this by kind of sandwiching the pill between two pieces and pinching it all together, adding in more pieces of the treat if it breaks apart.
Question:	How hot and spicy is this from a scale of 1-10 how hot
Answer:	There is no silica pack in our Wellbites treats.
Question:	What would cook time be at 10,000 feet
Answer:	We have not been successful doing that.
Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	Yes, the company is located on the eastern shore of Maryland
