Puppy lost interest

These look healthy and yummy, but my 4 month old bernedoodle is moderately picky, and stopped taking them after about 2 weeks. She still won't, when I go back to

These look healthy and yummy, but my 4 month old bernedoodle is moderately picky, and stopped taking them after about 2 weeks. She still won't, when I go back to them. My guess is a less picky dog would like them fine.

Unable to crush

I wanted to be able to crush these over my dog’s food, like a garnish, but they are much too hard. They would however work as a training reward tool.

Cats like it.

Most of the cats like it, that is important. One of the cats has to have drops in his eye, we use this as a treat after he has cooperated.
