My two dogs like these treats. They enjoy them, they don't love them, but then they're difficult, they're poodles, they're... French. My dogs are small and these are perfectly sized for them. The size of the treat is not uniform, there are long ones and thick ones and bits and pieces and dust, but as a crushed topping they're awesome. I actually keep small pliers near the treat jar so that I can break up the treats. One crush and they become brittle and easy to break up. They also make a fine intact treat... quite good.
I'm the kind of person who looks at the price per ounce of foods and treats -- as well as the general ingredients. The price on this fluctuates wildly. When they're inexpensive, they're awesome, now that they're higher priced, I'm switching to something else. Many of the similar treats... with identical ingredients... are sold in very small bags for just half the price of these. That can amount to paying ten times more (per ounce) when buying the smaller bag. If you're the kind of person who buys cute little (thinking itty bitty little jars of Skippy peanut butter) overpriced containers of household items, I don't think you (or your animals) are the intended market for these treats. They're just not that refined. The more frugal, yet still quality-minded, shopper, however, when these are purchased toward their lower price range, will be very pleased -- Five star pleased, when adjusted for somewhat lower (I'd say "realistic") expectations.
After opening, but being careful to reseal the bag, these treats will last for months, in my experience.
Its great that there isn't any filler in the treats, like, really great, IMHO. There's a little bit of "gristle" and hard stuff... all seem to be genuine, related animal parts, in some treats. I regard that as essential roughage that is beneficial for dogs. The material is tendon or something, not hooves and hair.
My advice is to buy a big bag when its on sale if you have a smaller dog. Divide the bag into a couple of batches to preserve freshness and put them back in the bag. The manufacturer might consider doing this for you.
