Charlee Bear Cheese & Egg Training Treats Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude — I obsess over training gear, pockets-full-of-treats setups, and what actually keeps dogs focused during practice. Charlee Bear’s Original Crunch Cheese & Egg training treats are a brand staple I keep seeing in treat pouches and trainer kits. On paper they look tailor-made for reward-based training: a bite-sized, crunchy treat the listing calls low-calorie (3 calories per piece), made in the USA, and suitable for all life stages. I reviewed the product details and owner experience notes to break down where these treats shine, where to be cautious, and which dogs will genuinely benefit.

What it is / first look

Charlee Bear Original Crunch Dog Training Treats (Cheese & Egg flavor) are bite-sized, crunchy training treats sold in bag packaging. The listing highlights that each treat contains 3 calories, and that the product is intended for training and reward-based uses. The brand markets these as all-natural, trainer recommended, and suitable for puppies through adult dogs — the Age Range Description on the listing is "All Life Stages." The listing also identifies cheese and eggs as the special ingredients for this flavor.

Packaging & sizing basics (from the listing): the product title references a 16 oz (4-Pack), the specifications list Dimensions as 9.84 x 4.84 x 11.34 inches and Weight as 16 ounces. The listing also includes Unit Count: 64 Ounce and Number of Items: 4 — there’s a discrepancy on unit/pack counts in the listing, so double-check the seller page if exact pack size matters to you.

What the brand promises

• 3 calories per treat — positioned as low-calorie training power for frequent rewards.
• Made in the USA and crafted with simple pantry-style ingredients.
• All-natural, corn-free, non-GMO, preservative-free, rawhide-free, and no artificial flavors.
• Trainer-recommended and suitable for obedience, agility, crate and potty training.

Visually, the treats are small and crunchy — the listing describes them as "bite-sized snacks with a light crunch" and "crunchy, mess-free & pocket-friendly." Those are exactly the qualities you want when you need to deliver five to ten rewards in a single short training session without filling your pup up.

In daily use

These treats are explicitly marketed for training: obedience, agility, crate and potty work. That positioning is backed up in owner experience notes I reviewed — in short, dogs react enthusiastically. Multiple accounts in the notes describe dogs getting very excited when the bag comes out; one note references a large-breed dog (a German Shepherd) responding well in training, and several notes talk about puppies and small breeds doing great with this size and crunch.

Puppies & small breeds

The listing calls the treats "ideal for puppies & adult dogs" and emphasizes the small, crunchy size and low calorie count. For people training puppies or toy/small breeds, that’s an advantage: you can give more repetitions without adding much to the daily caloric load. The product also markets itself as "pocket-friendly," which is something I value when I’m moving between rooms or heading to a park.

Medium & large breeds

Owners in the notes reported success with medium and large dogs — one account specifically mentions a German Shepherd doing well with these for training. The small size still works for big dogs as a quick, high-frequency reward; if your dog prefers chunkier chews, these won’t replace a larger high-value treat, but they’re great for rapid-fire reinforcement.

Multi-dog homes & weight management

The 3-calorie-per-piece claim is useful if you’re working with multiple dogs or have a dog on a calorie-restricted plan. Several notes came from people with multiple dogs or rescue operations saying these treats last and let them reward frequently without weight gain. Conversely, a few notes flagged cost concerns — some owners called them "on the expensive side," while others called the value good for what you get. Expect mixed impressions on price-per-treat depending on how many dogs you buy for.

Practical daily-use notes from owner feedback I reviewed: a common tip is to keep the bag in a small treat pouch for easy access; they’re described as non-messy and easy to carry. One operational caveat in the notes: rough delivery sometimes results in crushed pieces at the bottom of the parcel, so check the condition of the bag on arrival.

Materials & build quality

For a consumable, "materials" translates to ingredients and how the treats are made. The listing emphasizes simple, pantry-style components and two processing descriptors: the treats are "baked to perfection for irresistible crunchiness" and also described as "infused with fruit and veggies, then freeze dried to lock in nutrition and flavor." The flavor in this listing is Cheese & Egg, and the "special ingredients" field lists Cheese and Eggs. The "about this item" copy also mentions cranberries, peanut butter, honey and oats as examples of wholesome ingredients used across the line.

Label-style claims on the listing include: All-Natural, Non-GMO, Preservative-Free, Corn-Free, Rawhide-Free, No Artificial Flavors, High Protein, and Limited Ingredient. Those are what the brand advertises — if ingredient sourcing and formulation transparency matter to you, the listing at least communicates that the product aims to be simple and limited-ingredient.

Packaging durability: the listing calls the container a bag. Owner feedback indicates the bag can arrive intact and keep treats crunchy, but rough delivery has resulted in crushed treats in some cases. If you need completely crush-proof packaging for shipping, be aware of that occasional issue.

Safety considerations

Safety is always first. Here’s what the listing and owner notes indicate, and what I flag as potential concerns based strictly on those sources.

• Calories: The product lists 3 calories per treat, which is explicitly pitched for weight management and frequent rewarding without overfeeding.
• Allergen & ingredient signals: The listing names Cheese and Eggs as special ingredients for this flavor. That means these treats are not appropriate for dogs with known dairy or egg allergies. The listing also lists several positive allergen/safety claims: Corn-Free, Non-GMO, Preservative-Free, Rawhide-Free, and No Artificial Flavors.
• Size & choking risk: The listing repeatedly positions the product as "bite-sized" and "small," and owner feedback indicates small dogs and puppies handle them well. The listing labels them for all life stages; still, with any treat, supervise especially tiny puppies or dogs that gulp whole pieces. The listing doesn’t provide an exact piece dimension, so use discretion for very small or very young puppies.
• Digestibility & formulation: The listing claims limited ingredients and high protein. It does not state guaranteed digestibility testing or list an AAFCO statement — the listing does not specify those details.
• Packaging & food safety: The listing says "Made in the USA." Multiple owner notes praise the product’s consistent availability and positive reception in their homes. One delivery-related note warns that rough handling can lead to crushed treats in the bag; that’s a quality-of-arrival issue, not a food-safety claim, but worth checking bags on arrival.

Bottom line on safety: the listing includes several positive safety-oriented claims (corn-free, preservative-free, rawhide-free, no artificial flavors) and explicitly notes the major flavor ingredients (cheese & eggs). If your dog has ingredient sensitivities to dairy or eggs, the listing makes that clear; if you need broader allergen or nutritional statements, the listing does not specify those additional details.

Who this is for / who should skip

Match the product claims to your dog and training style:

Good fit

• Owners doing frequent, short training repetitions who need a very low-calorie treat (3 calories per piece) for weight control.
• Puppies and small breeds who benefit from tiny, pocketable crunchy rewards (the listing explicitly says "ideal for puppies & adult dogs").
• Multi-dog homes or rescues where small portions and low calories let you reward several dogs without big caloric intake — owner notes include rescue operations and multi-dog households that rely on these treats.
• People who prefer limited-ingredient, all-natural positioning: corn-free, non-GMO, preservative-free and no artificial flavors per the listing.

Skip or be cautious

• Dogs with dairy or egg allergies — the listing explicitly lists Cheese and Eggs as special ingredients for this flavor.
• Households that require absolute crush-proof shipping: owner notes indicate the bag can be damaged in transit and leave crushed treats at the bottom of the delivery box.
• People who want a chunky, slow-chew, high-value treat for working on intense behaviors — these are small, crunchy, and best used for rapid reinforcement rather than long-lasting engagement.

Verdict

Charlee Bear Original Crunch Cheese & Egg treats are a clear, functional tool for trainers and pet parents who need low-calorie, pocket-sized rewards that dogs find palatable. The listing’s strongest points are the 3-calories-per-piece claim, the small crunchy format that supports high-rep training, and the limited-ingredient/all-natural positioning (corn-free, non-GMO, preservative-free, rawhide-free, no artificial flavors). Owner experiences I reviewed line up with the marketing: many dogs react enthusiastically, and trainers and multi-dog homes appreciate the ability to reward frequently without stacking calories.

What I’d emphasize before you buy: check the packaging details on the seller page (the listing includes both a 16 oz 4-pack and a Unit Count: 64 Ounce entry, which is inconsistent), watch for shipping crush in some deliveries, and don’t buy this Cheese & Egg flavor if your dog has a dairy or egg sensitivity — the listing lists Cheese and Eggs as the special ingredients. If you want a messy, slow-chew snack, this isn’t it — these are built for quick reinforcement.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Confirm pack size on the product page — listing shows 16 oz (4-Pack) but also lists Unit Count: 64 Ounce.
• Check ingredient sensitivities: this flavor lists Cheese and Eggs as special ingredients.
• If you need long-lasting chews, choose a different product — these are small, crunchy, and designed for quick rewards.
• Inspect the bag on arrival for crushed pieces if shipping was rough; some owner notes reported crushed treats at the bottom after delivery handling.
• Use them for high-rep training and weight management — the listing specifies 3 calories per treat and markets them for training and reward-based use.

Packaging colors (from product images)

The product images suggest packaging with warm, light colors. Available colors may include the following (see images on the product page):

• packaging colors may include orange, yellow, white

Those are the tones visible in the image set tied to the product listing.

Final thoughts

As someone who keeps a rotation of pocket treats, I find Charlee Bear’s Original Crunch line to be a solid, convenient option when you need frequent reinforcement without adding many calories. The listing’s claims about being low-calorie, small, and trainer-friendly line up with the real-world signals in owner notes I reviewed — dogs love them, and the small crumb-free crunch is useful in a training session. Just be mindful of the flavor’s cheese & egg ingredients if your dog has sensitivities, double-check the exact pack size before ordering because of the listing discrepancy, and inspect packages on arrival for shipping damage. If those fit your needs, these treats are a reliable go-to for short training bursts and everyday rewards.
