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

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.

Well, it just might, there is no scent in these tage that might smell good enough to eat. I liked the idea of non-chemical repellant, also, but my dog is very old, 18, and would have seizures. He cannot tolerate a "regular" flea collar and for what ever reason still had frequent seizures with the Tags. Please let me know how your dog repondes to these. Merry Christmas.

There is a Bach Flower Remedy called "rescue". They make one for pets specifically without alcohol. I have not tried it yet (moving mine next week), but it has no flavor or odor. You can also massage it into their ears if they won't ingest it. One of mine will eat those "Calm" treats (from VT) but the other won't. I also have three pheromone diffusers that I have not used yet. Armed and dangerous for the move !!! You can also buy pheromone spray. When I use that (Feliway) they get calm immediately.

I'm not sure, I'll have to look at the ingredients on the bag when I get home. I think I'll donate the food to our local dog shelter. My dog just immediately turned his nose up at this flavor.

I don't have an answer for you, but I am about to post exactly the same question. I would NEVER give my animals anything "unknown." Maybe the more people post this question, the more will answer.

I would check the expiration date. Also, I keep mine refrigerated. As others have said, it does have a smell to it, but the dogs love it on their food.

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.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

I have stopped getting them but a friend still uses them. In moderation they seem to be fine. My dog now gets one a week from the friend and has no problems. The reason I stopped is when my dog got too many, she got sick.

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....

I have never tasted to find out but my dogs seem to continue to have the same amount of interested in them a couple years later as they did when they were new. If given the option of a brand new one and an old one they'll pick the new one of course.

I understand your concern. Believe me, nothing means more to me than my dog and I would never give him anything that would endanger him or his health. This treat however is made in China and that even concerns me a little. However, since I've found them, my dog has gone through a dozen large bags and he still loves them and is healthy and fine. Use your own judgement though, is my best suggestion.

Sounds like your dogs are very sensitive. I would think this would scare them, but one of my dogs completely ignore it and the other runs the other way to hide. I hope this helps.

Neither of my dogs try to lick it off. One is a lab, the other a labradoodle. It's been so cold here in Maine that we've started using "Hott Doggers- Boots for Dogs." They're great in snow and on salty sidewalks. I strap them on tightly and rarely have a problem. My dogs don't lift their paws like they used to when it is very cold out. Highly recommend.

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.

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.)
