Highlighted Reviews
"Our Irish Doodle hates to have his face messed with. So when it's time to trim his face, I hold an oinkie in one hand while I trim with the other. He is so distracted that he doesn't mind at all."
"I believe you have a contaminated stock, is is causing diarrhea. When stopped giving it to my dog, diarrhea was over. Wasn't sure this was the cause but when resuming from the same shipment, diarrhea was back"
Bottom Line
These treats are effective for distraction purposes but may cause digestive problems in dogs. They are worth trying out as a distraction mechanism in low doses, but be cautious.
