"I'm a traveling dog sport photographer and my boys love hitting the road with their [Ryōken] bars! They are the first thing we throw in the camera bag when it's time to go-- We love the reusable packaging and how easily they break up, plus the variety of proteins is great...They are also perfect for breaking into chunks and using to stuff a variety of our enrichment toys."

Whenever we go for a hike, a day at the beach, fast cat events or a training day we make sure we pack a bar.
