Continue reading →: Bork or Bust: Wild Bites Bacon Thins & Freeze-Dried Venison Heart 💜
So we received our latest haul from Homes Alive. I went a bit overboard stocking up on treats for the 4-legged taste testers over here (4 x 3 = 12 legs – that’s a lot of legs!). Included in the order were two bags from a brand I hadn’t tried…

Specifically, we’re digging into two of their popular offerings from the Carnitas line: Duck Recipe Tenders (a.k.a. duck filets) Beef Recipe Shaped Bites (a.k.a. little heart-shaped beefy bois) Both say “Made with real meat” on the front.

Hello,
I’m Jen
Welcome to BorkBites! I’m just a Canadian dog parent on a mission to explore all things dog food (and, let’s be honest, all things dogs). I won’t tell you what to feed your pup, but I’ll definitely call out what you shouldn’t.
This blog is based on my own experiences, here to help fellow pup parents make better food choices. From kibble to treats, I’ll share honest reviews and tips to keep your dog’s meals as healthy and tasty as possible.
Disclaimer: I’m not a vet or pet nutritionist—just a dog parent doing the research. Always consult a professional for your pup’s specific dietary needs!
