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.

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.

I have been using this product for two years and I have not had any problems with it. My dogs (2 large dogs) love them and is their favorite. I am assuming the person(s) that are complaining are those with small dogs, I can see that small dogs could have issues with this product. I am very careful with everything I feed my dogs (my kids), I hope the person will rethink their issues and allow those of us that are able to use these treats to do so. We should check all treats for issues and this is one brand from China that I do NOT have any issues with.

When I bought them they were. The dogs love them, but I have to warn you, just as the other review state, they smell bad!

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.

That's horrible! No, all 6 of my dogs love the stuff and the 2 older ones are walking way better now. We've been using it for about a year now.

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!!

No, i don't smell it on their breath. When I first started giving this to the dogs. I was giving to much and I could smell it. Now, I don't smell it that all. They look great too!

My pug loves to eat them. My lab needs a bit of coaxing. But will eventually eat it. I have found a terrific way to get him to eat other pills that he refuses to eat. Stick it in a marshmallow.

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.

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.

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.

I have never bothered transitioning any of my dogs. My puppy has had all of he ToW foods this year and has not had a problem. Some dogs are sensitive and need a slower introduction to a new food. I have had no issues just switching my guys over directly from one flavor to another.

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.

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?

Hi JoAnne , I would ask another vet !? My vet doubles the price well almost tripped ? He said buy here too ? I brought them in after I read this and he shows me his and they even have the same marks ion the tabs ? I'm happy I can get them so inexpensive as I know my dogs do better in them and a life time user and never a problem oh my dog got sick one had a sensitive stomach and so I give with food ? Other than that nothing but hep ?

I don't smell a foul odor. We all have odors that bother us so it is kind of hard for me to say whether it will effect you or not. My dog doesn't like some treats, however, she likes this one. It is supposed to have a chicken flavor so maybe your dog will like them. Only one per day. Not to be used as a treat unless your dog gets anxious. Hope this helps.
