Why my dogs & my friends and my other family member's dogs will sniff them & walk away refusing to eat them-hard to believe these 5 stars?

My current dogs prefer the soft jerky/stick-style treats, they just don't like the crunchy biscuit kind, no matter what brand it is. I have had two dogs that liked the crunchy ones, but they were the kind of dog that would eat about anything anyway. I'd try the jerky/soft treats, my dogs have liked all the snack sticks from Newman's Own. (Give the ones your own dogs won't eat to your local shelter--there will surely be a dog there who would like them!)

I give my little bischon these treats because I trust them, and believe them to be healhy for him. I have no idea why any dog wouldn't like them.. my little dogs loves them all. and I can see he has no allergic reaction to them such as licking his paws, etc

It's all about the Dog's Taste. My dog happens to Love Peanut Butter. He's not crazy about Bacon or Liver or whichever other flavored treats out there... And sometimes it takes awhile for some pets to warm up to new things.... I also broke the treat up, if that helps you w/an idea to try.... Funny thing about my dog (who happens to be a medium size) When I give him a whole treat while we happen to be in the park, he bury's it . They don't bother my dogs digestion and I do trust "Newman's Own" It's Why I give Onyx the Newman Brand Pet Treats. And it all goes to charity as well.

Initially my dog was not interested in them, either, but his friends, two cocker spaniels, a Labrador, and a retriever, gobbled them up, so my dog decided to try them. After he tried them, he liked them but his initial reaction was also skeptical. His favorites are then meat sticks in the red bag. I break each stick into 4-5 segments. He loves those best.

My dog likes the stuff in the red bag....Get the red bag not the brown bag. The red bag is real good. What good self respecting dog would want a brown bag. Obviously the color is important.

I don't know why it was rated five stars. My dog wouldn't eat it. I mixed it with most food. She just wouldn't eat it. The sticks (treats she ate) I would of rated one for the food. and three for the sticks.

Our Maltese will only eat these chewy treats. She is so picky and can't wait to get one..... it's amazing watching how excited she gets. She used to like the organic hard treats in the brown bag but I guess I spoiled her with the sticks. I even found that Newman's makes an organic salmon (brown hard hearts!) - but no way! Now my only problem is if I run out, none of the stores carry them anymore. Im happy that Newman's cares about our pups! Thank you.

My 8-pound Mal-shi will also gnaw on the Wobbler when the treats are gone, if I let him. It's what dogs do. For us, that's the sign for me to pick up the Wobbler and put it away until it's Treat Time again. I make sure there are lots of other options for him to chew when the urge strikes.

they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it.... I don't know that I'd call it a "treat", never have offered him one by itself - knowing our Barni, he'd just gobble it without asking what it was :) (they don't have a definitive "odor" so probably fairly tasteless) He eats so fast (inhales so to speak), I doubt he realizes taking 'medicine'..... they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it....

My dogs are able to just swallow them. I would highly recommend these. One dog is 80 pounds and one is about 100 pounds and the third that has had some is about 15 pounds. I hope this is of help to you.

That is no where near true. I've been feeding my dog and my parents' have been feeding their dog with this jerky for years. There is nothing wrong with this. Please stop spreading false rumors.

My dogs have gone through 6 of them now and not one of them had any odor. Hope this helps.

I got 2 bottles of these for my dogs and they would not eat them. I gave the 2 bottles to a friend because her dog loves them. She says they help her dogs, but they are quite old. I wouldn't imagine that a puppy would need these.

My dog (yellow Labrador) loves these CALMING treats. Our whole family thinks they smell like beef bullion cubes. Nobody minds giving them to him because of any "odors". For our family, they are the go-to calming treat for our 8 year old Labrador and our 14 year old house cat! Good luck with your pet!!

Do not know! These chews are wonderful! Not easy for a dog to gulp. They are very hard so that to me freezing would not be necessary, and might change the taste! My dogs, LOVE these better than any chews, and I feel that they keep their teeth free from dental problems.

They all have a strange odor. Each color of these has a different odor as well. They are my dogs fave toys. Has had them for years without any issues. The packaging does say they are dishwasher safe. Maybe try that to kill the odor if you or your dog doesn't like it?

Wow, that is very odd. My dog is fine with this food, but is fussy from time to time so I switch it up with PRIMAL FORMULA brand, and also give the Stella's Surf and Turf and the chicken. Why not call the phone number on the package for more information from the company' maybe they could shed some light on it.

They don't have good smell. Not too bad I do not believe they are flavored. My dog gets 3 a day and she thinks they are a treat. No flea problems, but I also give her trifexis.

Chris, where did you read that? It would be helpful to know so that I can make an educated decision on whether to keep buying these for my dog. Thanks.

My dog eats the chew like a bone with both paws holding down the chew on one side while taking a bite from the other. I bet you break up the chew and give it to your dogs so they try to wolf it down to get another piece. Give them one chew each

Looks like this was answered by someone else, very accurately. My dogs have allergies and this does not bother them.

I've never had a problem with them being close to expiring from any seller on Amazon. I buy the six bags at a time so I won't have to get them very often. I'd say my dogs go through them one bag per week and a half. BTW they are GREAT for their teeth and breath. Started using them on the recommendation of a veterinary dermatologist for a dog I had with allergies and have kept feeding them since I was so impressed, although that buddy passed away (nothing to do with the treats, he was 14).
