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.

They aren't yummy treats, but I wrap them in lunch meat or stick them on a chicken strip with a little peanut butter and one dog gobbles them up. The other dog is a little more challenging, but it never comes down to shoving it down his throat. It's worth any trouble because they are pain free and moving better.

Yes! And, Yes! We have 1 dog and two cats. All the animals were hesitant to go through and it took a little bit to get them to understand the process. But, with some GREAT treats, you stand on one side and have them on the other, and coax them through. It's amazingly easy for them to 'break' the barrier, it's just new to them. TREATS!!!

I'm sorry, I do not remember. My dogs refused to taste them after the treat failed their smell test. The squirrels, chipmunks and some birds found them edible, so they di d not go to waste.

If your dogs have been on a raw meat or grain-free diet, be aware that these treats are not grain-free. One of my guys is sensitive to grains and gets horrible gas when he manages to finagle a roll off an unsuspecting dinner guest. That's the only thing I could imagine that might cause your dog to experience gas after eating these.

My 2 dogs are doing the same thing and they used to be crazy for it, that is strange. I wonder if something has changed in the product?

I've never had a problem with them being close to expiring from any seller on Amazon. I buy the six bags at a time so I won't have to get them very often. I'd say my dogs go through them one bag per week and a half. BTW they are GREAT for their teeth and breath. Started using them on the recommendation of a veterinary dermatologist for a dog I had with allergies and have kept feeding them since I was so impressed, although that buddy passed away (nothing to do with the treats, he was 14).

They do not have a strong odor unless you put your nose into the bag, but why would you do that! My dogs love these treats and I don't mind giving them extras since they are healthy (vet recommended)

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.

We have LARGE Golden Retrievers, who really enjoying chewing these raw hide pieces. We found that even the small pieces take some time to consume. Of course, we have to watch, lest 1 finish ahead of another. Of more importance is the fact that most of these chews on NOT made in America and vets acknowledge that there have been serious illnesses as a result. Just a heads up. Dee

They all have a strange odor. Each color of these has a different odor as well. They are my dogs fave toys. Has had them for years without any issues. The packaging does say they are dishwasher safe. Maybe try that to kill the odor if you or your dog doesn't like it?

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.

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 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.)

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.

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.

All dogs would detect the oder. The reaction of individual an dog would vary. Many would start a search behavior, others not. Many dogs will peruse skunk scent for example. Although probably not a wise choice, skunks are not considered preditors by dogs. I would not recommend this product as repellent for dogs. It actually may have just the opposite effect.
