So does anyone have any problem with the dog taking the stations? My lab brought it in for a snack. It better really be non-toxic!

From what I recall, the active ingredient is dried pig's blood, so it can attract dogs and cats, but I doubt it would do any serious harm unless a large dog chewed up the canister and ate the plastic shards. The jaws of a small dog or cat are too small to break open the canister. My cat took a passing interest in them, but ignored them after an initial inspection. The neighbor's dog gave them a good inspection too, but was caught by the neighbor before he got too far.

I've had one in my front yard knocked off - probably by a dog from the neighborhood but none are missing. So far no other problems.

Our Jack Russell is very interested and I tell her to get away. If I didn't watch her I think she may just run off with one.

On their website it says you should slowly introduce it to their diet. It suggests mixing in a small amount with their kibble for one or two days and then replacing one of their feedings with the honest kitchen food and eventually both feedings with honest kitchen. I'll be honest with you I did not even think about it when we did the switch and we went cold turkey from kibble to honest kitchen. I noticed two things when I did the switch first the dogs absolutely loved the new dog food but the second issue was that they were pooping more frequently because of the drastic shift in their diet. It's evened out now and everything is fine but I would recommend slowly introducing it.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

My Husky spit it out, she thinks it's nasty. I have to put it in peanut butter for her. My border collie though, she eats just about anything she will eat it plain but I just put it in peanut butter anyway because the extra protein is really good and it doesn't hurt anything. So I say just put it in peanut butter anyway.

My Golden Doodle has been on this food since she was weened. She just turned one. I keep in contact with her litter mate mommys. Only one other dog and mine are still on TOTW. Our two have no allergies or ear problems and the other 7 all have problems. We prefer the bison. I'm just sayin...

I've used a lot if different kibble with the larger dial and haven't had a problem! I'm using Costco's grain free food right now and I've used Blue, Merricks, Halo and a ton of others. Maybe try getting sample bags at your local pet store. Are you pulling the dial off and cleaning under it? Filling with 2 cups of food?

Hi. I got a response from the manufacturer. Robert said, "the contents of the pack are non-toxic. I have attached the msds to this email. Please provide this info to your vet, but your dog should be fine this has happened many times before." The ingredients are: Mon Propylene GlycolCross-linked Acrylamide and potassium acrylate copolymer. There is no first aid information on the MSDS for ingestion. If you want me to send the MSDS to you, please provide your email address to me and I will forward the message to you. I hope your dog is doing well now.

My dog loves it. At the same time please note, I have a lab, who are food motivated all the time. He will eat what ever comes his way. I also mix some left over yolk, apples and yam in the food. He wipes the bowl clean.

I have a chocolate lab and he abuses that thing and it's held up better than I have thought it would. He does not did in it but chews it up and shakes it and drags it everywhere.

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

No! That's contaminated feed!I would call the company and return it immediately!

Yes, I have noticed the smell in the last orders we have.. The odor is so strong that I am worried if it is harmful to the animal.

I have been using this product for two years and I have not had any problems with it. My dogs (2 large dogs) love them and is their favorite. I am assuming the person(s) that are complaining are those with small dogs, I can see that small dogs could have issues with this product. I am very careful with everything I feed my dogs (my kids), I hope the person will rethink their issues and allow those of us that are able to use these treats to do so. We should check all treats for issues and this is one brand from China that I do NOT have any issues with.

I stopped feeding the stuff after my dog acted strangely on it. My vet said the protein in it is way too high for regular dogs that sit at home most of the day. He said the protein is so high that it's dangerous, no matter what the salespeople at Orijen say

I think you got a defect, there was no odor when I got mine. Doesn't sound safe for dog, I would return it!

I , also, called the toll-free # w/ same results as other caller(s). My dogs have never had an issue w/ these specific treats & one of them has really bad digestive issues...I just do't give him any of the "red" coloured snacks, as these seem to cause a lot of gas/bloating= could be the red food coloring used? Great question!

That's horrible! No, all 6 of my dogs love the stuff and the 2 older ones are walking way better now. We've been using it for about a year now.
