    I started getting the original recipe treats about 4 years ago and have never had an issue with them. Always the exact same consistency, and every animal I have loves them not just dogs but cats, geese, chickens, raccoon, opossums, hell I have a black bear that wanders through my back yard every once in a while and every time she comes through she looks around the table in the yard for more treats since I accidentally left a bag out there once. I still throw a handful out there every once in a while just in case and was last year with seeing her with her cubs out there mowing.

    Have a full-bred pitbull. We as Pitbull knows our babies can NOT eat chicken. No broth, no bones, nothing flavored, no cartilage. Nothing chicken. They have an allergic reaction to it. Well, I was feeding my baby Blue Buffalo basic dog food turkey/sweet potato for at least 4 months. No problem, coat pretty and shiny. Until I met Mr. ** in Petsmart one of the Bil-Jac representatives. He stated the reason why pitbulls are allergic is because the chicken being fed in other dog foods are the cartilage, not real chicken.

    Bil-Jac food is 25lb of a 30lb bag of dog food. Surely I purchased the bag. 2 weeks later. My dog coat is horrible. Spots on his back and he is itchy all over. I contacted Mr. ** sent the pictures and of course, he never seen this before. Yeah right! He suppose to had gotten back in contact with me concerning a refund and to change my dog food by talking with the manager at PetSmart. He never did so. I went to PetSmart and they changed the food for me, thank God. Do not ever buy this food for your pitbull. Blue Buffalo is the best.

      We have given our dogs Bil-Jac soft treats for over a decade. Never had any issues and the dogs love them although we give them only at bedtime for crating and maybe once during day. Their main ingredient is chicken and fortunately none of my 4 pack of dogs had allergies. They indicate "apple & banana flavoring" but not listed in ingredients so am sure it's harmless flavoring. I'm very choosy what my pets get and as I said I've used this products for almost two decades and along with top rated kibble and soft foods my dogs that I rescued this past decade lived to be 13, 14, 16 & the maltipoo lived to age 18.

      I'm giving zero stars. PBnanas treats are false advertising. Front of package displays peanut butter and banana flavors, leading consumer to believe these are the main ingredients. The main ingredient is chicken. There is no peanut butter or banana in this product. My dog is allergic to chicken and now is having an allergic reaction and I'll need to take her to the vet. Buyer beware!!

      I’ve been buying these treats for years and my dog loves them. The last few bags have had crumbs throughout making them messy on my hands and on the floor as I usually put one on the floor for my dog. I did reach out to the company and they said it was due to handling by where I bought them, but this has been the case from 2 different retail sites. The crumbs are throughout the whole bag, each treat coated. Not sure if they are with the mess as there are a lot of treats on the market, and healthier, lower fat options.

      Got a bag of Bil-JAC dog treats for my 7 year old Maltese mix and she got so sick from it. Constantly vomiting and bloody diarrhea and not eating... Couldn't even keep water down. I ended up taking her in to the emergency veterinary because it was on a Sunday. Blood work came back fine so it was these treats that caused it.

      My sister gave me these after my puppy had a vet visit, I don't know the brand but I have used Bil-Jac. These treats drive my dogs crazy. My puppy goes nuts for them and I love that the bag is full of treats. Most bags you don't get nearly the amount you get with this one. No signs of diarrhea in the puppy or my 10 year pom or my 4 year old husky. They all love it and they are all doing great on them. I don't see what the problem is other than they all have major energy after 2 or 3 threat. I like them.

      Our dog Penni, a coonhound mix, came from a local shelter (and had been there for 13 mos) and ate pretty much whatever was donated to the shelter I’m sure. We brought her home in February of 2019, and were feeding her the Authority brand dog food. She loves being outside and would RUN ALL OVER the yard most of the day. She was losing weight so fast and she is a big girl. She had started to drop weight which was fine because there was no curvature between her chest and tummy so forget being able to see her ribs. Well, I wasn’t sure I was feeding her enough and turns out I wasn’t feeding her and the birds enough! I brought her food in and saw that she would eat a bit and I mean not even a half a cup!

      She was about 90 lbs when we adopted her, so when I took her to the vet and found out she had dropped to 70 lbs I was certain my fur baby was sick. My vet tried to feed her and she wouldn’t touch the food or the treats. She was perfectly healthy just way underweight. So my husband and I went straight to PetSmart to buy different food. There was a gentleman down one of the aisles talking to my husband while I was checking out some other options and his name was George. He introduced us to Bil-Jac and we decided to try it. Oh my Lord! Penni wakes me up around 7:30ish EVERY morning for her food and clangs her dog bowl all over the floor when she’s ready for dinner! Thank you George and Bil-Jac! Penni is a healthy 75 lbs and continues to run all over.

      After the huge food recall scare we wanted to find our dogs good food and treats. We ran into my husband’s old Co-worker and she had her dogs on Bil-Jac for years. We have four dogs and they love the food and treats. We have been using the dog food for many years now and everyone brings their dog over when they visit and their dogs just love it and most have switched to Bil-Jac. Love it’s made here in the USA and family owned.

      We have a Golden Retriever, Pomeranian, Papillon, and Mixed breed little spit fire. Lol. We rescued her from a local rescue group. She was mean and a bitter but my pack is so awesome and she is so loved. She is a totally different dog. Until I take her for her yearly checkup and shots. Then the little girl turns into Cujo dog. Lol. I will muzzle her at the vet or she will bite them so hard and fast. But when we got her you could see her skin it and she looked pretty ratty. But now she has a thick beautiful coat. Our Pomeranian OMG she has a gorgeous coat. Everyone just loves her big bushy coat. My Golden he has Epilepsy but he has a beautiful coat and 12 yrs old. Last our Papillon is 17 yrs old and gone blind and deaf but if you didn’t look close up at him you would not think he’s old. His coat is also thick and shiny.

      I have had neck/back surgery and not bathed them for two months. I use a doggy cologne when visitors come. But they look so healthy and our vet said what do we feed them and I told him. They sell Science Diet I think but he said their blood work is good and they look very healthy too. Oh our grand doggie schnauzer she always came over for weekends and loved Bil-Jac. She would not want to eat her food when she went home so she’s on Bil-Jac and her coat is beautiful and silky from eating it as well.

      Gave these to my Yorker and golden, the Golden has diarrhea. The Yorker had bloody diarrhea for 10 days. Took her to vet and was told she had a virus. So I thought maybe the treats weren’t the cause. Waited about 3 weeks and gave them some treats, bloody diarrhea came back. Do not give your dogs these! This MADE me pick one star.

      I came here to see if anyone else had reported that their dog had an allergic reaction to these treats. Our dog immediately began to dry heave and have difficulty breathing after just one of these treats was consumed. I'm not sure what ingredient in these treats caused the reaction, but we discontinued use of this product immediately. I'm only reporting this here so that other pet owners will know that it happened with our shepherd mix breed 1 year old dog.

      Bil-Jac brand dry dog food was recommended to us at a PetSmart store by another dog owner. We started with Puppy Select Chicken then on to Small Breed Adult. Lately we're using Picky No More Medium breed which I settled on from Chewy.com since at the time they did not have in stock what I wanted and their price was the best. Our dog noticed the difference but eventually started eating it by the next day or so. When it's time to reorder I will go back to the Small Breed Adult since the food bits are smaller and I want her to have the additional food variety like oatmeal and yams.

      My dog actually eats a home prepared diet, but for years Bil-Jac has been the back up food for the reason that it is the only prepared food on the planet that he will eat. The Bil-Jac company states that it is highly palatable and that all dogs will eat it. My friends have had the same experience with it, some of whom use it for the primary diet.

      Could be cheaper compared to other brands. Usually they don't tend to close properly. I still consider it one of the cheaper alternatives. I have to buy at a store that's kinda far from my house although there are plenty of stores near me. The store always has them in stock however I have noticed. The ingredients are typical to what you would find in these products. Some healthier alternatives exist as well as worse. Hopefully they'll provide healthier ingredients in later products.

      These treats are great for training. They are kind of pricey, but used for a high value training aid they are great because our dog loves them, they even smell like they should taste good. We purchase online and have always been able to find treats in stock, we can also usually find them at our local Walmart if we forget to order ahead. These treats are made of real chicken or liver. They smell and look like a good treat. At a dog training class the other dogs liked our treats better than most of those the other dog owners brought to class.

      Fairly good pricing - not as expensive as some treats and especially not as expensive as those available through the veterinarian supplied products. Readily available product - easy to find in pet stores and also in grocery stores making it easy to come by. While the product offerings supplied by veterinarians seemed to have better quality ingredients those in the bil-jac seemed to be of relatively good quality too. Moderately satisfied - good availability, fair ingredients, adequate pricing and appealing to the pet make the Bil-Jac a good choice for pet treat.

      The treats are more expensive than other treats like my milk bones so, I would probably just buy milk bones because they are just as good and cheaper. You can buy the treats at petco and walmart even though the other treats at these stores are just as good and cheaper. Dogs like all treats. High quality ingredients. They seem higher quality than milk bones or generic but they should be higher quality because they are expensive. My dogs like all treats. They are dogs who like treats.

      Much more reasonably priced than some of the more boutique brands. Traditional ingredients and flavors. Dogs enjoyed them and wanted more. Bilks in general seems much harder to find. Was my food of choice 10 years ago but seems to have been overtaken by blue dog, mother Hubbard and other specialty brands. Ingredients you can read and understand. Seems to be a family-run business that takes pride in making healthy per treats with "real ingredients". My dogs like everything so hard to judge if any tastier than others, but definitely woofed the treats down and wanted more. As good as more expensive brands.
