Fruitables Pumpkin & Blueberry Dog Treats Review

I’m always looking for dog treats that hit a very specific sweet spot: small enough to use often, simple enough that I feel good about handing them out, and practical enough that I can keep a bag around without my whole kitchen or treat pouch smelling like a meat locker. Fruitables Baked Dog Treats in Pumpkin and Blueberry land squarely in that lane. These are oven-baked, crunchy dog treats made with pumpkin and blueberry flavor, sold in a 12-ounce bag, and positioned as a low-calorie option for training, daily rewards, and general treat-jar duty.

After spending time with them as an everyday treat rather than a one-time novelty snack, my take is pretty straightforward: these are a solid staple for plenty of dogs, especially if you want a lower-calorie biscuit with no wheat, corn, or soy. But they are not magic treats, and they are definitely not the kind of stinky, ultra-enticing reward that makes every dog lose its mind. Some dogs go nuts for them. Some dogs will happily accept them. And some picky dogs act like you just offered them homework.

That split matters, because whether these become a repeat buy in your house depends less on the bag’s marketing and more on what kind of dog you have, how you use treats, and whether you need “healthy everyday biscuit” or “canine jackpot reward.”

What it is: a low-calorie baked biscuit for everyday rewarding

Fruitables markets these as healthy baked dog treats made with pumpkin and blueberry, with only 8 calories per treat. The listing also says they’re made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, free from artificial flavors and colors, and crafted without wheat, corn, or soy. They’re positioned for all life stages and all breed sizes, and the brand specifically frames them as useful for active dogs, behavior work, training sessions, and everyday rewards.

A few things stand out immediately from the listing and from real-life use:

• They’re meant for repeated use. The low-calorie angle makes sense if you do lots of repetitions during training.
• They’re crunchy. This is a baked biscuit, not a soft chewy training nibble.
• They’re plant-based. That matters if you prefer a less meat-heavy treat rotation.
• They’re sensitivity-friendly on paper. The listing calls out gluten free, dairy free, and no wheat, corn, or soy.
• They’re broad-fit, not specialized. These are not described as breed-specific, puppy-only, or senior-only.

In other words, I see these as a pantry-style treat: something you can use regularly without feeling like every reward has to be huge, rich, or messy.

Available flavor options in the line

The specific product here is Pumpkin and Blueberry, but the listing shows several flavors in the broader Fruitables baked treat lineup:

• apple and crispy bacon
• chicken and cranberry
• pumpkin and apple
• pumpkin and banana
• pumpkin and blueberry
• pumpkin and cranberry
• sweet potato and pecan

If your dog likes the overall texture and format but doesn’t care for this specific flavor, that wider flavor range is useful.

Colors available

These are treats rather than gear, so there are no formal colorways listed. Based on the product name and flavor presentation, available colors may include packaging and treat tones associated with:

• blueberry / purple-accent packaging
• pumpkin / orange-accent packaging
• tan to brown baked biscuit color

In daily use / hands-on testing

This is where the Fruitables Pumpkin and Blueberry treats make the most sense to me. I would not buy them expecting the ultimate distraction-proof recall reward. I would buy them for all the boring but important little moments that make up life with a dog: sits at the door, calm leash clipping, crate check-ins, mat work, short training bursts, puzzle toys, and “yes, thank you for not barking at that delivery truck” payments.

The biggest strength in daily use is the calorie count. At 8 calories per treat, I can use them more freely than a richer cookie-style reward. That matters when I’m working through a bunch of repetitions in a row. If I’m doing leash manners on a walk or practicing settle behavior around the house, I don’t want every reward to feel nutritionally heavy.

I also like the smell. These have a sweet, bakery-style scent that’s much easier on me than a lot of more pungent dog treats. In practice, that means I don’t mind opening the bag indoors, and I don’t mind having them around the house. They’re a lot less offensive than many meatier options.

That said, I would not confuse “pleasant smell” with “high-value smell” from a dog’s perspective. In long-term use, one of the clearest patterns is that these can be a little hit-or-miss with picky dogs. Some dogs adore them. Some are fine with them. Some basically shrug and walk away. If your dog is highly food-motivated, these may work beautifully. If your dog only lights up for intense, meaty rewards, these may fall flat.

Training use: best for medium-value rewards

For training, I think these shine most in low- to medium-distraction settings. Around the house, during routine obedience refreshers, or when teaching simple behaviors, they make sense. They’re also useful if you just need a lot of small rewards without overdoing calories.

Where I’d be cautious is using them as your only training treat for:

• reactive-dog work in tough environments
• recall training with major distractions
• dogs that already turn their nose up at biscuit-style treats
• situations where you need instant, intense food motivation

That doesn’t make these bad. It just puts them in the right category. To me, this is a very good everyday treat, not necessarily a universal top-tier motivator.

Size and handling in real life

The size is one of the more mixed parts of the experience. Some dogs and owners find them nicely bite-sized and very training-friendly. Others feel they run a bit large for quick rapid-fire rewarding, especially for tiny dogs or when you want very frequent reinforcement. A repeated real-world issue is that while you can try to break them, they tend to crumble rather than split neatly.

That means:

• For some small dogs, they may already be a good one-treat reward.
• For some medium and large dogs, they’re easy little biscuits.
• For very tiny dogs or very fast-paced training, they may feel a bit bigger than ideal.
• If you planned to break each biscuit into tidy mini bits, that may be frustrating.

I especially like them in puzzle toys and casual reward situations, because exact portion neatness matters less there. If I’m trying to do ultra-fast shaping sessions with a toy-sized dog, though, the crumbly break behavior would annoy me.

Picky dogs: this is the deciding factor

If your dog is easygoing about treats, these are likely to be a smooth fit. If your dog is choosy, this is absolutely a “know your dog” purchase. The pattern I see is not that the treats are poor quality, but that the flavor profile and biscuit style simply do not hook every dog equally.

My honest read:

• Easygoing dogs: often do well with these.
• Dogs used to strong meat treats: may view these as less exciting.
• Picky eaters: a gamble.
• Dogs needing weight-conscious rewards: worth a closer look because the 8-calorie format is practical.

That’s why I’d call them a staple treat, not a guaranteed obsession treat.

Materials, ingredients, and overall quality impression

Because this is a consumable treat, “build quality” is really about the quality signals the listing gives and how the product feels in use. Fruitables checks several boxes that I like for an everyday biscuit:

• made with pumpkin and blueberry flavor
• made with wholesome ingredients
• free from artificial flavors and colors
• crafted without wheat, corn, or soy
• gluten free
• dairy free
• made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients
• oven-baked for crunch

The listing also leans hard into pumpkin, apples, blueberries, and sweet potatoes as superfood ingredients across the line. For this specific Pumpkin and Blueberry product, the big takeaways are the pumpkin-forward digestion support language and the blueberry antioxidant angle. I’m careful with claims like that, because treats are still treats, not medicine, but I do think the ingredient positioning is better than a generic filler-heavy biscuit.

In real-world use, the treats come across as fresh-smelling and crunchy, but not excessively hard for a standard biscuit. That matters, especially for smaller adult dogs who can handle a crunchy treat but may not enjoy rock-hard biscuits.

Texture: crunchy, but with some crumble

The texture is one of the defining features. The listing explicitly calls out a satisfying crunch, and that matches the everyday experience. It’s a biscuit-style crunch, not a soft chew. Some owners also feel the crunch helps with dental health by naturally reducing plaque and tartar buildup, which is a claim the listing makes for the product line.

The tradeoff is brittleness. If you’re expecting a clean snap for precise portioning, this may not be your favorite format. Crumbling while breaking is a recurring issue. For me, that’s not a dealbreaker, but it does shape how I use them.

Smell: pleasant for humans, generally appealing to dogs

One thing I genuinely appreciate here is the smell profile. These are often described as having a nice blueberry smell rather than that overly rich, greasy treat odor that lingers on your hands and in your pockets. If you carry treats regularly, that can be a real quality-of-life perk.

Of course, dog appeal and human appeal are not the same thing. A treat that smells lovely to me isn’t always the one that gets the biggest canine response. That split is very much part of the Fruitables story.

Safety considerations

For treats, safety starts with fit, chewing style, and ingredient compatibility. The overall safety picture here is pretty good based on the listing. Fruitables positions these for dogs of all breed sizes and all life stages, and the formula is described as low-calorie, dairy free, gluten free, and free from wheat, corn, and soy. That gives them a sensible profile for many dogs, especially those who do better avoiding common filler-style ingredients.

Still, there are a few practical safety points I’d keep in mind:

• Crunchy biscuit texture: Any crunchy treat should be matched to your dog’s chewing ability. If your dog gulps treats whole, supervise and consider whether the size is appropriate for that dog.
• Size for toy breeds: Because some owners find these larger than expected and crumbly to break, very small dogs may need closer supervision or a different reward format if they struggle with biscuit size.
• Food sensitivities: The listing says these are allergy-friendly, gluten free, and dairy free, and made without wheat, corn, or soy. That is promising, but it is not a guarantee that every sensitive dog will tolerate them. If your dog has a history of diet-related issues, I’d still introduce slowly and consult a qualified professional for diet-specific decisions.
• Training frequency: Even low-calorie treats add up. The 8-calorie count is helpful, but treats should still fit your dog’s overall diet.
• Not a substitute for dental care: The crunchy texture may help naturally reduce plaque and tartar buildup according to the listing, but I would not treat a biscuit as a replacement for proper dental care.

I don’t see a major red-flag safety problem in the product information or the long-term owner patterns. The main caution is simply mechanical: biscuit size and texture won’t be ideal for every dog.

Who this is for / who should skip

This is a good fit for:

• Dogs needing lower-calorie rewards. At 8 calories per treat, these are practical for repeated use.
• Pet parents who want a simple everyday biscuit. The ingredient approach is cleaner than many generic treats.
• Dogs that enjoy crunchy treats. If your dog likes biscuits, this texture makes sense.
• Households avoiding wheat, corn, or soy. That’s one of the clearest reasons to consider these.
• Owners who hate stinky treats. The aroma is one of the nicest quality-of-life features here.
• Small to medium dogs that do well with small biscuits. Many people find the size works well in daily use.
• Puzzle toy use. The treats fit nicely into certain treat-based enrichment routines.

I’d skip these if:

• Your dog only works for high-value meat treats. These are not consistently irresistible for picky or highly selective dogs.
• You need a soft training treat. This is a crunchy biscuit, not a chewy reward.
• You want to split treats neatly into tiny pieces. Crumbling is a real annoyance with this format.
• You have a very tiny dog and need micro-rewards. Depending on your dog, these may feel larger than ideal.
• You’re buying blind for a famously fussy eater. The ingredient list and smell may appeal to you more than to your dog.

Life stage and breed-size fit

The listing says all life stages and all breed sizes, and I think that is broadly fair with a little common sense attached. For adult dogs and many puppies working on training, the low-calorie format is useful. For seniors or dogs with significant dental issues, though, the crunchy biscuit texture may be less ideal than a softer option. The listing does not specifically address dental limitations, so I’d base that choice on your individual dog’s chewing comfort.

For breed size, I think the fit is best described like this:

• Toy and small breeds: can work well, but size may feel a bit big for very fast training sessions.
• Medium breeds: probably the easiest match.
• Large breeds: fine as a quick low-calorie reward, though not a substantial snack.

Value and practicality

I’m not quoting a live price because that changes constantly, but in the current market I’d call these budget-friendly to affordable for a specialized, branded dog biscuit. The value proposition is strongest if you care about three things at once: low calories, a no-wheat/corn/soy formula, and a training-friendly everyday format.

Where the value weakens is if your dog simply doesn’t love them. This is one of those treats where the ingredient story is attractive and the household experience is pleasant, but none of that matters if your dog turns away after the first sniff.

So from a value standpoint:

• Strong value if your dog likes crunchy biscuits and you use lots of rewards.
• Decent value if you want a healthier-feeling treat jar staple.
• Poor value if your dog is picky and needs intense motivation.

Verdict

My bottom line: Fruitables Baked Dog Treats in Pumpkin and Blueberry are a good, honest everyday dog biscuit with a lot going for them. I like the 8-calorie format, the made-in-USA production with globally sourced ingredients, the no wheat/corn/soy approach, and the fact that they don’t assault my nose. They’re easy to understand, easy to keep on hand, and genuinely useful for routine rewarding.

But I would only recommend them with one big qualifier: they are not universally high-value. If your dog is a treat enthusiast or already likes crunchy fruit-and-pumpkin style biscuits, these could become a regular staple. If your dog is picky, heavily meat-motivated, or you need a super-exciting training reward, I’d keep expectations realistic.

So yes, I’d buy these again for the right dog and the right role. I just wouldn’t promise they’ll be your dog’s favorite thing on earth.

Check before you buy

• Do you want a low-calorie treat for frequent rewarding?
• Is your dog okay with crunchy biscuits rather than soft chews?
• Do you prefer treats made without wheat, corn, or soy?
• Will a pleasant blueberry-like smell be a plus in your home or treat pouch?
• Is your dog usually open to plant-forward or less meaty treats?
• Do you need a treat that can be used whole, rather than one you’ll have to break cleanly into tiny pieces?
• Are you shopping for an everyday staple instead of a high-value emergency reward?

If most of those answers are yes, Fruitables Pumpkin and Blueberry is a smart pick. If not, I’d keep looking for something softer, meatier, or more obviously irresistible to your particular dog.
