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.

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.

My dogs love the peanut/honey and the yogurt/apple. They both have a nice smell- like a cookie. My son actually tasted the yogurt/apple ones... Weird. He said it was not bad but not very sweet. Lol My dogs say they are awesome! I like that they don't cause gut issues and they don't stink like fake meat.

I'm sorry, but we didn't give it a lot of chance to work. Plus, I brush my dog's teeth and he really doesn't have tartar so I can't really answer. I can tell you that my vet recommended them, and I can tell you that my dog really enjoyed chewing them-but he choked on them too often for my comfort. Sorry, not much help, was I?

Yes, My dog and several of my friend's dogs love these. imagine that your dog will love them too.

I am not sure why that would happen, except they may be tired of it or it is too dry? Do you rehydrate it? My dogs don't have the same enthusiasm they used to have when eating them, however, they still do eat it and they won't eat many foods at all, not even steak. I do feed it to them dry and I rotate flavors. Their favorite flavors are the beef and the lamb. I feed it to them like a treat, but knowing it is good for them makes me happy.

I have two dogs, one eats them like treats, the other I need to break and mix up in her food. They are very easy to break up with your hands.

They have a an odiferous odor but not to the point where my dogs find them offensive or me for that matter especially since my dogs LOVE them.

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.

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'.....

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

My dogs didn't like it, it's been a week. It's the strong plastic smell, after several washes the smell is still there, it must be really strong for the doggie nose. I'm not even sure if the plastic is safe health-wise. I could not find out if the plastic is human food grade, as it's supposed to be for all food and water containers.

I can not explain how products can be marketed with obvious false claims. What I am aware of is a plethora of evidence, including dead and sick animals, that tells me to advise you not to feed any of the jerky treats made in China to your pet. I am now dealing with kidney failure in my own loved companion dog who had been given those treats. Did they make her sick? I have no proof.

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.

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.
