Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana Dog Treats Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude, a pet parent and gear nerd, and I keep a well-stocked selection of training bites and pantry treats for every dog that comes through my door — from the picky seniors to the overstimulated puppies at vendor events. Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana Dog Treats (the 7 oz pouch, sold as a 2-pack) are one of those pantry staples I reach for when I want a crunchy, low-calorie reward with a fruit-forward scent. In this review I walk through what these treats are, how they perform in everyday use, safety flags to watch for, and which dogs I’d hand them to (and which I wouldn’t).

What it is / first look

The listing positions Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana as a baked, all-natural, bite-sized treat for adult dogs. The product ships as a two-pack of recyclable, resealable 7 oz pouches — the unit count for the pack is 14 ounces / 14.08 ounces total. Each single 7 oz pouch contains about 90 treats, and the company advertises that each treat is under 9 calories. The treats are described as crunchy baked biscuits with a unique crunchy texture and a strong, fruity aroma. They list pumpkin as a special ingredient and state the treats are free of corn, wheat, soy and artificial colors, ingredients or preservatives. Additional product claims include high in antioxidants, high in fiber, and being suitable for behavior, coat, joints, skin, and weight support. The listing also specifies that the treats are produced in the USA with global ingredients.

Packaging & first impressions

The 7 oz pouches are resealable and recyclable per the listing, and the two-pack gives you roughly 180 treats total per package (about 90 per pouch as noted). The listing provides the physical dimensions for a pack: 1.8 x 5.5 x 9 inches, and the weight for the two-pack listed is 14.08 ounces. The treats come in "chunk" form (item form: Chunk) and the overall product marketing emphasizes a bakery-style aroma — the listing literally invites you to imagine a muffin-like scent as you open the pouch.

Available colors

The product images (file names provided in the listing) hint at the usual Fruitables packaging design. If color choices matter to you for shelf display, available colors may include:

• pumpkin orange (pouch accent)
• kraft / brown neutral pouch
• green accent tones

In daily use

These treats are built around training and everyday rewarding. The listing explicitly calls out behavior and weight among the specific uses, and the under-9-calories-per-treat claim makes them a natural choice when you want to dole out multiple tiny rewards without blowing a dog’s daily calorie budget.

Training & behavior

Because each treat is small and low-calorie, I (and the listing) consider them a strong option for repetitive training sessions where you might want to hand out several rewards. The crunchy, fruit-forward aroma typically gets attention quickly, which is useful for short, fast reinforcement during clicker work or leash training. The listing notes a "unique crunchy texture" — that texture helps drive immediate interest for many dogs but can be a trade-off in certain mouths (see Safety).

Small & medium breeds

The listing's breed recommendations are broad and include many medium and small breeds by name (Hound, Terrier, Beagle, Yorky, Dachshunds, Corgi, Spaniel, Schnauzer). For medium-sized dogs, the treat size and crunch work well as a short, high-frequency reinforcement. The plant-based ingredients and low calorie per piece make them handy for owners who want to hand out multiple tiny rewards in a session without disrupting weight-control goals.

Large breeds

Large-breed dogs will happily eat these treats, but they’re quite small (about 90 per 7 oz pouch), so you’ll go through them quicker if you’re using them as primary daily treats for big dogs. The listing notes a "Breed Recommendation" that includes larger breed names like Rottweilers and Huskies, so they’re positioned for a broad spectrum. Because each treat is low calorie and small in size, they’re suitable as a single quick reward for large breeds but not as a meal replacement or filling snack.

Senior dogs & dental issues

The crunchy texture is an asset for most adult dogs, but the listing and field feedback show a mixed picture for seniors. Some owners highlight that the treats can be broken in half for older dogs, and several comments expressly note that an older, picky miniature dachshund loves them — but there are also cases where the crunchier pieces got stuck in teeth. If your senior has fragile teeth or frequently gets food stuck, you’ll want to break the biscuit into smaller pieces or avoid the crunchy format entirely.

Materials & build quality

For treats, "build quality" maps to ingredient sourcing, formulation transparency, and packaging. Fruitables advertises that these treats are all-natural, made in the USA with the "Highest Quality Global Ingredients," and free of corn, wheat, soy, and artificial colors, ingredients, or preservatives. The treats highlight pumpkin as a special ingredient and claim to be high in antioxidants and fiber. The packaging is a resealable, recyclable pouch, which helps keep the baked biscuits fresh between sessions.

Concrete specs from the listing you can rely on:

• Model number: 192959800890
• Item form: Chunk (baked biscuit, crunchy)
• Each recyclable 7 oz pouch contains about 90 treats; the pack is a 2-pack totaling roughly 14 ounces.
• Under 9 calories per treat.
• Free of corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, ingredients, or preservatives (as stated in the product description).
• Shrimp Free (allergen information listed).

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my first priority, so let me run through the obvious flags and finish with practical mitigation ideas.

Digestive reactions

The internal owner feedback includes at least one serious negative signal: a few dogs vomited after eating these treats. I present that as a real-world caveat — while many dogs tolerate and love the recipe, a subset experienced gastrointestinal upset. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or a history of food-triggered vomiting, introduce these treats slowly and in small quantities, and stop if you see repeated vomiting or diarrhea. Of course, consult a qualified professional for any persistent digestive issues.

Choking & dental trapping

Because these are crunchy, bite-sized chunks, some dogs (especially seniors or those with dental abnormalities) can get pieces trapped between teeth. There are reports of treats getting stuck in teeth — and there's also mention that breaking a treat in half works well for older dogs who struggle with the crunch. If you have a small-mouthed senior, a dog with missing or fragile teeth, or a toy-breed with tight tooth spacing, pre-break the biscuit or choose a softer alternative.

Ingredient & allergen notes

The listing specifies Shrimp Free and advertises the product as free of corn, wheat, soy, and artificial colors, ingredients or preservatives. Those are useful signals for owners managing common allergies or avoiding certain fillers. The listing does not publish a full ingredient panel in the product facts block, so if you or your dog need a fully transparent ingredient breakdown (for example, to avoid a specific meat protein or added sugars), the listing doesn't specify the complete ingredient list in the provided fields — it only calls out pumpkin as a special ingredient and general claims of all-natural ingredients.

Calories and weight control

The treats are marketed as under 9 calories apiece and as low calorie overall. That makes them practical for training and weight control when used judiciously. The listing explicitly calls out weight management among the product benefits. Still, treat calories add up, so track total daily calories if your dog is on a strict diet.

Who this is for / who should skip

Deciding whether Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana are a good fit depends on your dog’s life stage, dental health, and sensitivity to new foods. The listing gives a clear age range (Adult) and a broad set of breed recommendations that cover small, medium, and larger dogs.

Good fit

• Adult dogs who like crunchy, bakery-style treats and respond to fruity aromas.
• Dogs in training or behavior programs where you need low-calorie, frequent rewards (the treats are under 9 calories each and small in size).
• Owners who prioritize products labeled free of corn, wheat, soy, and artificial colors/ingredients/preservatives, and who prefer treats made in the USA with global ingredients.
• Dogs with certain meat allergies — multiple owners noted success with dogs who needed options without chicken or other meat proteins, though the listing itself doesn’t publish a full ingredient panel beyond pumpkin and general all-natural claims.

Who should skip or use with caution

• Puppies: the listing's age range is explicitly "Adult," so the company does not specify puppy suitability. If you want to give them to a puppy, the listing doesn't specify an appropriate age range or feeding recommendations for puppies.
• Dogs with sensitive stomachs: because there are reports of vomiting after consumption, introduce these slowly, monitor closely, and discontinue if your dog gets sick.
• Seniors or dogs with dental problems: if your dog has fragile teeth or often traps food between teeth, consider breaking treats into smaller pieces or picking a softer option.

Verdict

Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana Dog Treats hit a lot of the boxes I look for in an everyday training biscuit: low calories (under 9 per treat), a small portion count per pouch (about 90 treats), appealing bakery-style aroma, and packaging that’s resealable and recyclable. The treats are marketed for adult dogs and target behavior and weight-management use cases, which aligns with their size and calorie count. The “Produced in USA with the Highest Quality Global Ingredients” callout and the claims of no corn/wheat/soy and no artificial colors or preservatives make these a solid mid-to-high quality option in the crunchy treat aisle.

That said, this product isn’t flawless. The crunchy format can trap between teeth for some dogs, and there are real reports of dogs vomiting after eating these treats. Those safety flags don’t mean these treats are unsafe across the board, but they do mean you should introduce them to a new dog slowly and watch for digestive upset. For senior dogs or dogs with dental issues, break the biscuits into smaller bits or choose a softer treat.

Check before you buy

• Confirm your dog is an adult (the listing's Age Range Description is "Adult").
• Note that each 7 oz pouch contains about 90 treats; the pack is a 2-pack totaling roughly 14 ounces / 14.08 ounces.
• Each treat is advertised as under 9 calories — factor this into daily calorie tracking if your dog is on a strict diet.
• The listing specifies Shrimp Free and no corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, ingredients, or preservatives; the full ingredient panel is not provided in the product facts block.
• If your dog has a history of sensitive digestion or has fragile teeth, introduce these slowly and consider breaking treats into smaller pieces.
• The product is produced in the USA with global ingredients (per the listing).

Overall, Fruitables Pumpkin & Banana treats are a useful, low-calorie, fruit-scented crunchy biscuit I reach for for adult dogs in training or as a high-frequency, low-calorie reward. They’re not universal — watch for digestive reactions and dental trapping in sensitive dogs — but they’re a good fit for many adult dogs, especially those who respond to fruity bakery aromas and need portion-controlled rewards.

Pros: low-calorie, strong aroma, small size, produced in USA, free of corn/wheat/soy and artificial colors/ingredients/preservatives, resealable recyclable pouch, about 90 treats per 7 oz pouch.

Cons: crunchy texture can get stuck in teeth for some dogs, some dogs have vomited after eating them (monitor first servings), listing does not show a full ingredient panel in the product fact block.
