The bag came open and now all the treats are rock-solid! Is there a way to deharden them?

The apple pumpkin treats are a crunchy treat. If you are looking for a soft treat, try the bacon apple flavor or the pumpkin berry flavor.

I'd wrap the loose treats in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds- softens most anything. I don't know that the effect last forever and would only do as many as you need at a timethat's accidentally hardened

I didn't experience that with my dog's treats. However, I would check with the manufacturer for their recommendation. (NOTE: I have added bread to hard cookies, etc. to soften in the past. Not sure if that would work here?)

Perhaps try placing them on a cookie sheet and baking in a low oven (like 300 degrees) for 20 minutes to draw out the moisture?

These treats are suppose to hard like a cookie . They are not intended to be soft or chewy. My chihuahua loves them.

Sorry Wendy. I do the same as the other respondent. The bags are huge and I always put them in airtight containers. I have a small bag from a local Amish bulk store and the ingredients on that label are the same as was previously mentioned in the other response.

I have been wondering about that myself, as the family English Bulldog tore part of it off, attempting to get at the food! Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? I think that is what I will do!

As others have stated, the damp chew going into the baggie is the problem. After my dogs enjoyed their chew sessions with these treats I let the chews completely dry out in the open air before putting it into any closed container for storage. I hope this works for you too. These treats are too expensive to lose them to mold!

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

No, just reseal the bag so they don't dry out. I have had some that were good after several months.

I can't seem to find one on the bag I have -- the package/bag is resealable, so I have ripped off the very top potion of the packaging to get it open. Unless it was on that part, the package doesn't show an expiration date.I have seen expiration dates on some rawhides in the past. I remember picking up holiday bones just after Christmas at a pet store for 75% off, the expiration dates on those were at least a year or so out there.

Yeah, these are like what they put in shoes at the store. The entire bag will not be ruined if you open it just make sure you store in an airtight place. You can heat them in the oven to dry them out for reuse.

It is in a large plastic bag WITH TWO SNAPS ON EITHER SIDE...I keep it in the refrig. well at first it was softer then it is now..the bag was very large...and the way it was cut there are muscle strings that worry me about my poodle (mini) choking on so I pull them out...He likes the taste but I am not sure I will order this item again.....:O(

Yes, that should do it. Try to make sure when you open it that you don't rip/tear the bag but a nice cut just under the seal would be the best. Then just use a hot iron to reseal being careful not to over heat the bag.

Sorry I can't help - it's been treated with so much TLC it's still in pristine condition. Didn't know about the animal bag though - glad to know there is such a thing. Sincerely, ldp54

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

The bags I have stay sealed. What I do is put stuff in the bag, seal it then turn it upside down and shake it. They haven't opened yet. Hope this helps.

My best guess is that something in the bag was a little bit damp when you packed it. It doesn't take much water to create mildew when a package is sealed up for a long period of time. I think that if you could really get all of the air out of the bag, you wouldn't have the musty mildew odor. But it isn't really possible to get ALL of the air out of the bag, so there you have it.

I have put baked and mashed sweet potatoes through it to make dog treats. The softer texture seemed like it was a little bit messier than using meat. I'm going to try using a pastry bag next time. That might be a better option for pureed fruit too.

You fill the bag with shredded fabric... anything without buttons, buckles or zippers will work, I tried to stick to cotton, as it compresses well. I was able to reuse the stuffing from an old bag for about half of my filling, so that's an option as well. Many times if you look, old punching bags can be had for just a few bucks, if you don't want to go to the trouble of scavenging rags. Here's a decent video from YouTube on how to fill the bag - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLGddvvvAIk. The nice thing about filling your own is that you can make it as hard or soft as you want. Many people also get a remnant of some decent foam carpet pad and curl it into a tube that they slip inside the whole length of the bag. Then the rest of the padding goes inside the foam tube insert. The foam roll makes for a nice, smooth striking surface so you don't get hard spots. If you want to add a bit more weight, freezer baggies filled with play sand and then completely duct-taped can be dumped down the center of the bag, you likely won't need many, a bag this size gets heavy in a hurry as you pack the stuffing down. This is a good sturdy bag - waaaaay better than my old Everlast that cost a bit more. It's a bit of work to stuff it, but way worth it if you use a bag often. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately my Wife transferred the bags contents to tupperware and thru the bag away! I'm sorry but I don't know.
