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.

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!

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.

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.

The tabs in the bottle I have smell like that too. I figured that is why the dogs are willing to eat the tablets straight. However, it is my first bottle so I do not know if it is normal or not.

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.

The idea is to give them to the dog until they permanently get into the habit of NOT eating their stool. I've tried brands that have not worked at all. Some worked sometime but as soon as I stopped giving them to my dog he went right back to eating his stool. My last dog ate his stool from the time he was a puppy until he was 3.5 years old. Then he stopped on his own. The vet told me they sometimes "outgrow it"

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.

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.

Good question! I honestly don't know - perhaps that's when that particular flavor was first produced? I bet if you email the company they will give you a straight answer. They seem like good, caring people. I do know their products are among the few treats I give my dogs - I truly believe they are healthy treats, unlike most of the stuff you see on the store shelves. But seriously, email the company. I'm sure they will give you a straight answer.

Yep, my dogs refuse, only the cats drink from it. I waisted a ton of money on this and filters and sponge kits just to have my dogs say heck no!

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 feel your pain....I did find something called "Check Ups" that are supposed to help their teeth as well, and some similar small rawhide strips, but I don't feel like anything works as well as these at keeping my dogs breath manageable. I'm hoping the price comes down soon.

Thank you I appreciate the input. The view from the people who have responded so far is quite mixed. I guess it ultimately comes down to the dog. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel and I fear she is just too head strong to stop this behavior but will give it a try.

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.

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 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.
