Three Dog Bakery Blueberry Pie Lick'n Crunch Review

Intro — why I tested a dessert-style dog cookie

I’ve been chasing the intersection of what dogs love and what owners feel good giving. Bakery-style dog treats are an easy way to make treat time feel special, and the Three Dog Bakery Blueberry Pie Lick’n Crunch caught my eye because it’s pitched as a dessert-inspired sandwich cookie made with real blueberries and baked in the USA. I brought these into the house to see how they fare as training rewards, snack-time sweets, and something special for birthdays and everyday treat moments.

What it is — first look and specs

At a glance, these are crunchy baked sandwich cookies with a blueberry crème center. The listing describes them as "Blueberry Pie Lick’n Crunch! Sandwich Cookies," made with real blueberries and golden vanilla cookies, and baked without artificial flavors. The manufacturer lists the treats as a wafer item, plant-based, suitable for dogs of all breed sizes and labeled for all life stages. The package size on the listing is a 13-ounce unit and the product is noted as made in the USA.

In daily use — hands-on testing and real-life signals

I used these treats around training sessions, as reward cookies for casual snack-time, and as an occasional birthday-style indulgence. Here’s how they performed in the real world.

Palatability and dog reactions

• Many dogs respond enthusiastically to the blueberry aroma and the sandwich-cookie format — the listing promises a drool-worthy scent from golden vanilla cookies and blueberry crème, and in practice that smell is noticeable and appealing to many dogs.
• Not every dog will prefer this flavor; some dogs in my circle who usually go bonkers for carob or plain vanilla weren’t as excited by blueberry. Flavors are taste-specific: blueberry is a winner for many, but not universal.
• Texture-wise, these are described in-owner-experience notes as similar to small sandwich cookies — crunchy with a crème center. They can be soft enough for senior dogs and small enough to break into training-size pieces.

Training and portioning

• The listing identifies "Training" as a specific use for these treats, and the size/wafer format makes them straightforward to break into smaller pieces during training repetitions.
• Because they’re wafer-style, they’re handy for quick reinforcement and for dogs that prefer crunchy/sweet bakery textures over jerky or soft chews.

Packaging, handling and shipping notes

• These cookies are fragile by nature: several extended-use experiences note crumbling during handling or delivery, especially if the bag gets warm. Expect some broken bits in a shipment that’s been exposed to heat.
• When cookies arrived warm, some customers received a higher proportion of crumbled pieces. If you live in a hot climate or foresee shipping during warm months, consider faster shipping options or placing the bag in a temperature-protected spot on arrival.

Stomach tolerance and sensitivities

• There are firsthand accounts of dogs with sensitive stomachs doing well on these treats. In a few long-term notes, dogs with sensitive tummies tolerated the blueberry wafers without obvious digestive upset.
• One owner liked these treats because of a lower amount of protein compared to other snacks, which helped a dog with a protein-related condition; the product page itself lists the treats as plant-based, but exact nutrient levels aren’t included on the listing.

Materials & build quality (what the treat is made of)

These are edible bakery-style cookies rather than physical gear, so "build" means ingredient choices, texture and baking finish. The listing emphasizes real blueberries and golden vanilla cookies with a blueberry crème filling, and notes they are baked without artificial flavors. The form is a wafer-style sandwich cookie with a crème center.

Ingredients and formulation notes

• Real blueberries are called out as a special ingredient on the product page. Beyond that, the listing does not provide a full ingredient panel or guaranteed analyses — so I can’t report exact protein, fat, fiber, or calorie numbers from the listing.
• The product is labeled plant-based, which will matter to owners avoiding animal proteins in treats. The listing doesn’t claim human-grade status or provide nutritional percentages; if you need a full ingredient breakdown, the listing doesn’t specify it and you should check the bag or the manufacturer resources for a complete panel.

Texture and portion behavior

• These are crunchy wafer cookies with a crème center — think small sandwich-cookie texture. Several long-term experiences describe them as the size of an Oreo and easy to break into training-size pieces.
• The texture is forgiving enough for seniors: owners note they’re not too hard and can be chewed comfortably by older dogs, and they’re easy to break into small pieces.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority with any edible given to dogs. The product page and owner experiences provide clear signals to weigh before adding these treats to your rotation.

What the listing says

• Age Range Description: All Life Stages and Breed Recommendation: All Breed Sizes. The listing explicitly positions these treats for puppies through seniors and across breed sizes.
• Made in the USA and baked without artificial flavors are listed features; these are manufacturing and formulation claims from the product page, not safety certifications.

Practical safety tips from hands-on use

• Choking and size: the sandwich-cookie form is small, but as with any treat, supervise dogs that gulp treats. For tiny toy breeds or dogs that inhale snacks, break treats into pieces to avoid fast ingestion.
• Heat sensitivity: these are bakery cookies that can soften or crumble if exposed to warm temperatures during shipping or storage. If treats arrive warm and heavily crumbled, separate the crumbs and consider using them as a topper or mixing with kibble rather than letting a dog grab multiple pieces at once.
• Allergies/dietary restrictions: the listing identifies the treats as plant-based with real blueberries, but it does not include a full ingredient list on the summary. If your dog has allergies or dietary restrictions, check the full ingredient list on the packaging or contact the manufacturer before offering them.
• Digestive concerns: while several long-term experiences show dogs with sensitive stomachs tolerated the treats, individual dogs can react differently. If you have a dog with chronic GI issues, consult a qualified professional before trying new treats, and introduce them slowly.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Fit matters more than popularity. Below I break down which dogs these are genuinely a good match for, and which situations call for a different choice.

Good fit

• Owners looking for a bakery-style, dessert-inspired treat for occasional rewards or celebrations. The "human-inspired taste" and blueberry pie scent make these great for moments you want to feel special.
• Dogs who respond to crunchy wafer textures and enjoy fruity flavors — many dogs react favorably to the blueberry and vanilla pairing.
• Training sessions where you need easily portionable treats — the wafer format is simple to snap into smaller pieces.
• Families that prefer treats baked in the USA and that avoid artificial flavors, as the listing highlights those features.
• Owners with senior dogs who need softer crunch and smaller pieces; several accounts note the treats are soft enough for older mouths.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Dogs with known allergies to ingredients not fully listed on the product summary — the listing doesn’t provide a full ingredient panel, so if your dog has a specific allergy, verify the full list on the package or with the manufacturer.
• Households in very hot climates or those relying on slow shipping — the cookies can melt/crumbly in warmth during transit, so you may get a bag with many crumbles if they arrive warm.
• Owners who want precise nutrient guarantees (protein, fat, calories) from the product description — the listing doesn’t specify those numbers, so these treats may not be ideal if you must control exact caloric intake without checking the full label.
• Dogs prone to fast gulping or show signs of choking: break into pieces and supervise, especially for toy breeds.

Cleaning, storage and handling tips

• Store in a cool, dry place to reduce the chance of the cookies softening or crumbling. If your household is humid or hot, consider a pantry or climate-controlled spot.
• Because some shipments have arrived with crumbled cookies, open the bag and check contents; use crumbles as toppers or training crumbles if whole cookies aren’t intact.
• Portion into smaller containers for training so you’re not opening the main bag repeatedly and exposing the treats to humidity and air.

Verdict

I like these when I want a dessert-style, bakery-scented treat that’s easy to portion and appeals to dogs that prefer crunchy, sweet flavors. The Three Dog Bakery Blueberry Pie Lick’n Crunch delivers on the blueberry-and-vanilla promise from the product page: there’s a noticeable blueberry aroma, a sandwich-cookie texture, and the convenience of a wafer format that breaks easily for training. For many pet parents these become a regular go-to — especially as occasional rewards, celebration treats, or a change of pace from jerky and soft chews.

The downsides are real but manageable: the treats can crumble if shipped warm, and a fraction of dogs simply won’t prefer blueberry over other flavors. The listing does a good job calling out plant-based formulation, real blueberries, made-in-USA production, and suitability across life stages, but it doesn’t provide a full ingredient panel or nutritional breakdown on the summary page — if you need that, check the packaging or manufacturer resources before purchasing.

Quick pros & cons

• Pros: dessert-inspired blueberry flavor, made with real blueberries, baked in the USA, plant-based, easy to break for training, suitable for all life stages and breed sizes.
• Cons: can melt/crumble if warm during shipping or storage; not every dog prefers blueberry; full ingredient/nutritional breakdown not shown in the short listing.

Check before you buy — my pre-purchase checklist

• Confirm the full ingredient list on the package if your dog has allergies or dietary restrictions.
• Consider shipping speed and weather — if it’s hot where you live, factor in potential crumbling during transit.
• Decide if you want a plant-based treat; the listing identifies these as plant-based.
• Think about how you’ll use them: training (breakable pieces) vs. celebration (whole cookies).
• If your dog is a picky eater, try a single bag first — blueberry flavor is not universally preferred, and the brand offers other flavors you might try instead.

Final recommendation

If you want a bakery-style treat for occasional rewards, celebrations, or training that smells and tastes like a blueberry pie for dogs, these are worth trying. They shine for dogs that like crunchy, sweet flavors and for owners who appreciate treats baked in the USA and formulated without artificial flavors. If your dog has specific allergies, is an extremely fast gulper, or you’re ordering in hot weather, take the simple precautions I outline above.

Check before you buy checklist (repeat for emphasis)

• Verify the full ingredient list for allergens on the package.
• Plan shipping/storing to avoid heat that can cause melting or crumbling.
• Break into pieces for tiny dogs and during training sessions.
• Try a single bag first if your dog is picky or prefers other flavor profiles.
