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.

We have LARGE Golden Retrievers, who really enjoying chewing these raw hide pieces. We found that even the small pieces take some time to consume. Of course, we have to watch, lest 1 finish ahead of another. Of more importance is the fact that most of these chews on NOT made in America and vets acknowledge that there have been serious illnesses as a result. Just a heads up. Dee

Given my reading of the chemicals and side effects thereof, I wouldn't want my dogs walking on any residue and then licking their paws. But really, the smell alone would probably send any dog running to the nearest dung pile to get rid of it.

No, Lean Treats 'do not' smell awful ~ to me or my dog. I can't imagine any dog not liking this treat and it should be healthy being's it's called lean. I break the treat into smaller pieces so she doesn't gulp the whole treat down in one gulp.

No they are not odorless but not a real strong order. I have bought bully sticks before for my sherperd / sheltie mix but these she doesn't touch just leaves it for days and before with others she would eat them in 1/2 hr. Just wanted to also let you know that. Donna

Not that I have noticed - I don't stick my head in the bag and smell it though, lol. My Husky ADORES this - I just give him 3 or 4 rectangles to entice him into eating the rest of his food.

They are from China. Costco discontinued them after receiving a LOT of pressure from "pet interest groups" and then brought them back one more time, but I've noticed they are gone again! There is a strong lobby regarding this and I suspect it's partially political. Pet products are a billion+ industry and veterinarians and large pet food suppliers are not wanting "foreign interests" cornering their market, where they can charge prices that guarantee HUGE profits! My 3 dogs have been enjoying these chews for years and they are 14, 13 and 5 years old. HOWEVER, they are used as a treat with no more than 2 chews a day...NEVER as a meal. They shouldn't be used as a meal! Recently I bought some chicken chews and printed right on the package instructions it stated, "No more than 25 chews a day" Really, I thought! That's just crazy that you'd have to tell a pet owner THAT! No wonder they "MIGHT" end up with cancer! Also, be wary of the chews that say "Distributed in the USA" That doesn't really say where they are coming from, does it? Hope this helps?

I don't know but my package has been super hard and stuck together too and I bought them from Amazon. When I bought them from my veterinarian, they were absolutely wonderful for her and chewy and soft. I don't know what's going on here and I'm very disappointed! I don't know if my dogs at risk as a result but I have noticed that when she does eat the Daze quin she is scratching herself alot.

I have 3 dogs and they all loved it. Your dog could just be afraid of it. Try putting his favorite treat on it and leave it where he can get it by himself. It may take a while but the desire for the food should overcome his fear.

My dogs love the duck treats, I have had six bassets and none of them have gotten sick. There is no recall on this product . In fact, no one can even prove that the dogs are getting sick from these products.

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

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!!

It says "Product of China" on the label, but my dog has never had a problem with these. Not long ago I purchased a product called "Chicken Nibbles Dog Treats by Petzonline" through Amazon. He threw up shortly after me giving him these, and then a day or so later I tried giving him these again, and once again he threw up shortly afterwards. I then threw the whole container away, and went back to buying the Smokehouse chicken chips.

Not sure. I would call the mfg and ask them or a veterinarian. You could try just a few pieces and see what happens. Maybe even out some peanut butter on it and see if that attracts them

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.

I haven't actually taste them, so I can't attest to flavor, but dog #1 who takes them doesn't need them to be 'hidden', so I doubt they are bitter. Dog #2 has her's dressed with a dab of butter, and she doesn't object to eating them that way. Neither one spits them out (but I do put them in their food bowls with their breakfast rather than trying to feed them to them independently of a meal.)

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
