Great chew that is a rawhide alternative

Raw Bar freeze Dried Salmon Skin was a win for my dog. In fact, it did not last very long. No chew ever does with him. I am happy that it is a safe and healthy alternative

Raw Bar freeze Dried Salmon Skin was a win for my dog. In fact, it did not last very long. No chew ever does with him. I am happy that it is a safe and healthy alternative to rawhide. It is an actual fish skin, and it isn't hard which is easy on his teeth, because he is an old man and I worry about him breaking a tooth on harder treats and chews. It gives a good chew. He did have to chew on it for a few minutes before he started trying to just eat it whole which is his nature. It does not smell fishy! It hardly had any smell at all, which was nice. I was expecting something not so nice when I opened the package and was pleasantly surprised. This will definitely be added into the rotation of chews and treats because he liked it and its healthy and not a rawhide!

Dogs give it a thumbs up, but ewwww

I won't to lie, for whatever reason this thing kind of grossed me out. We hunt, we fish... But I guess a roll of scales did me in. Great news, it did not gross

I won't to lie, for whatever reason this thing kind of grossed me out. We hunt, we fish... But I guess a roll of scales did me in. Great news, it did not gross out the dogs. It does of course have the odor of seafood to it, so it would not recommend while you have company! I will say it's very large for one dog, so we did split it between two of them as a special treat. It definitely required a little effort to split though.

The dogs absolutely loved this. I only had one so I cut it in half. It was very hard to do, but I did get it there. These was very fishy smelling and lingered in the blankets so I had to wash them, but of course what would we expect based on the product. I think next time will be an outdoor treat for our house. Dogs loved it and were protecting it when someone looked like they were coming near.

Archie loved it; me not so much.

This thing is massive, which makes it hard to think of it as a treat that you can just give your dog. It's also very hard to break into pieces -- I used a knife, but man, it's messy and difficult to saw through. The fish scales go everywhere and it's greasy. I would hesitate to give the entire thing to my dog because of the mess and grease stains it might leave behind. All that being said, my dog LOVED it. Couldn't get enough of it. I just wasn't willing to give him the whole thing and then have to clean it up.

Wonderful treat for my American Foxhound! I choose this product for my dog Ellen because it was a healthy treat. She was intrigued when introduced to it and immediately was excited to take it and chew it. She even did happy zoomies with it before settling down to snack!

Opening package there was a slight fishy smell, but not overpowering. Our Border Collie has enjoyed it. It lasted 3 days. We would allow her to chew for a bit, then take away and give it to her again the next day. Gets a bit slimy when wet. Overall, our dog loved it!

These fish skin treats were a pleasant surprise. My dog loves anything fish-related, but usually the smell is so strong that I only use them sparingly. These, however, didn’t have that usual intense odor, which I really appreciated. The texture is a little crumbly, so there were some flakes, but my dog enjoyed them so much she literally cleaned the floor trying to get every last bit. Overall, great quality, dog-approved, and way less smelly than other fish treats we’ve tried.

I was skeptical, but my dog loved this! It was a bit big for him, so I cut it into pieces, but he happily chewed it through. It definitely had a strong smell, and cutting it was tricky due to the texture, but ultimately, this was a satisfying treat to occupy him for a few moments.
