Are these supposed to be soft and chewy or hard? When I opened the package the treats were rock hard and my cat wouldn't touch one.

Mine were medium soft and one cat liked them and the other didn't. Hope this helps.

They're pretty hard. I can break them into tiny pieces with my fingers and drop them into the food bowl. My stinky cat eats them, but another non-stinky cat won't eat them (but then, he only likes cheese for treats). So, if your cat won't eat them as treats, you might try crumbling them and putting them on his/her food.

They are suppose to be soft ! Sounds like you got some that were old or expired !

Mine were crunchy...but I feed my cats crunch food so they didn't seem to mind it.

My cat, who normally eats any kind of treat would not touch these at first either. I even wrote a review to the effect that they were too hard. However, since I didn't want to waste the $, I kept trying. Now he eats them and when he gets stinky, I give them to him. My other cat, who is finicky, won't have anything to do with them. So maybe your cat will eventually take to them, maybe not.

Mine were chewy and the cats liked them. However it upset one of my cats' stomach.

No. Those are perfect for small dogs but cats won't bite apart large pieces like dogs do....I've tried making cat treats and I couldn't get one cat to eat them! lol....I hope it turns out better for you :-) Greta

As I mentioned in an earlier review, when I first started ordering these for my cat she loved them and her skin allergies all but disappeared. Subsequently, though, when I ordered they would be a different color, different consistency, different smell, etc. Originally, they were soft chews and, honestly, my cat would have eaten the whole bag if I would let her. When she started to scratch and try to cover them up I knew they were no longer "a good thing." Don't know what happened from the original chews until the last ones (last year sometime), but I believe they either changed the formulation or the manufacturer.

They are a hard chewable, but they easily break and are not hard to chew. They smell like liver and my dog thinks that they are treats. I have to watch my cat because she trys to make off with them. They are a sure thing and work!!!

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.

My dog will not touch these treats, but they are not soft. I would call them hard and crunchy ---but they are not of the chicken jerky style my boy likes.

They are crunchy. Wellness has a soft treat which you might want to consider. Our dog loves both.

It's been a while since I used these, but I believe they are not chewy, yet not as hard as a dog biscuit - kind of like a chewable tablet. Sometimes I crushed & mixed it in some grain-free canned food & it wasn't difficult to crush with the bottom of a glass or similar item.

They are hard to break. In fact the my dog had a hard time crewing it. She was trying to chew up the kittys new toys, I caught her and she bite it in half. Hard for a cat to break threw it. I step on them all the time and they are still together.

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor.

I would guess that whatever the additional ingredient(s) is(are) is not palatable to your cats. They have discriminating palates and won't eat what doesn't taste or smell good to them. Plus, cats are quirky. One cat will eat these anywhere, the other will not eat them if I am in the chair in which I feed her treats, as she knows that this is not her usual "green cat treat". If, however, I give her the lyine treat where she naps, she eats it with relish! Works every time! Try a different location with the lysine, perhaps that will work.

They are hard like a nylabone. I know my dog is able to break it down really slowly and get a bit here and there, but it doesn't have any softness

Mine seem drier than typical treats as well, but my cat still devours them; so it could be just a crust that's formed on the outside of the treat. He goes crazy when he hears the bag every day, so the hardening definitely hasn't diminished the taste!

They aren't soft but not extremely hard either. Sometimes I split them in half when giving multiple treats and they break easily so it could be something you could crumble up for your puppy. I hope that helps.

They are supposed to be hard as they are a dental treat. The chewing process helps them get the tartar off their teeth. If he can't chew them, he may have an issue with his teeth and/or gums.

That is a question for the manufacture. I think they are organic material? They are the best fun my cat has ever had. As for me, they make NO noise and keep him occupied.

They are not soft but you can break them in half. My dog will only eat them in peanut butter or mixed in her food or in pill pockets.
