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!

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!!

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 in a bit with his front teeth, then carried it off to enjoy. He seemed to really enjoy it!

Not for the faint of heart, this duck head is truly a duck head, beek and all, but my doggie LOVED it. He was literally licking the floor to ensure he got all the crumbs and then was begging for another one soon after. Highly recommend.

My dog loved this, but also scarfed it down in about thirty seconds and immediately threw it all back up, so watch out for that as a possibility. It was also too obviously a freeze dried duck head for my sensibilities, it creeped me out.

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.

Very unique and interesting product! It truly is a real duck head. I appreciate it's from the USA and my dog was really intrigued. She is old and enjoys some novelty

Excellent product my dog loved it

My dog loved the raw duck only complaint it didn’t last long enough she is a hard chewer but I would definitely recommend it for younger less aggressive dogs

I bought this because I thought it was a little funny. This is quite literally a duck head! I have been trying to shift my dogs treats into single ingredients which this is. He enjoyed it! After doing some research though, if your dog is NOT a thorough chewer you might not want to give this to them because there is still a potential for the freeze dried bones to splint! That’s the only reason a give it 4 stars.
