Dogs loved but didn't last but a couple minutes

My dogs loved these, so why four stars? Because they last less than 5 minutes literally. The first one I received I gave to my dog, and it was gone before I could

My dogs loved these, so why four stars? Because they last less than 5 minutes literally. The first one I received I gave to my dog, and it was gone before I could grab a photo to write this review. I than ordered four more, just to grab the photo I needed to write this review. Are my dogs complaining? Absolutely not! They loved these. For $5 a pop ($10 for two dogs) they are well worth it for an occasional treat. They are freeze dried, easy to chew, didn't have any choking issues or dietary issues. It is a ducks head, so it may be a little unsettling for smaller children to see.

Dog loved it

Definitly had a bit of a smell to it but nothing too strong or that lingered. This absolutely disgusted me but my 35lbs dog was able to chew and eat the whole thing

Definitly had a bit of a smell to it but nothing too strong or that lingered. This absolutely disgusted me but my 35lbs dog was able to chew and eat the whole thing totally fine in under 3 minutes. I'm sure it was extremely healthy and delicious but at this price it will be a special occasion type of thing and not a regular.

My dog absolutely loved this! She devoured it in minutes. She is a very picky eater and often sniffs a new item for several minutes before deciding if she wants to eat it or not. I took this out of the bag and she was jumping up to get it. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised that it was actually a duck head. It seems like a good price for a high end treat.

I ordered this product when I had one dog, who is very possessive of treats/bones/snacks. I got a puppy and this arrived. I was not able to give this to my dog as i was afraid i would not be able to get it back. It is labeled as a super chewer treat and may last a long time. I gave it to a coworker for her German Shepard dog and she loved it!!

Kinda gross but great!

This was a weird item to order and when it came in I was grossed out by it. I gave it to my dog who has stomach issues. He loved the duck head and ate every part

This was a weird item to order and when it came in I was grossed out by it. I gave it to my dog who has stomach issues. He loved the duck head and ate every part. I was worried I would have to pick up duck head parts when he was done but was very happy I didnt have to. My dog had no issues with his stomach after eating it and was a very happy boy!

Duck Head treat

I have six small dogs. I took the duck head out of the wrapping and 5 of my 6 dogs ran from it. I think the eyes scared them. One of my dogs LOVED it and grabbed

I have six small dogs. I took the duck head out of the wrapping and 5 of my 6 dogs ran from it. I think the eyes scared them. One of my dogs LOVED it and grabbed it and hid it from the others !!! It is very realistic! It is a fun treat ! It may be best for large dogs. That is based on my small dogs running from it. It seems to last a long time so that is a good feature. I honestly think its a great treat but may be best for large dogs.

Delicious duck treat

My Texas Heeler carried the unopened package for a bit before I got it out for him. :) It looked a bit nasty, but it evidently was tasty. Haha! He licked it, started
