Highlighted Reviews

— Donna

"Our dog really likes these treats and we don't have to worry about her eating rawhide."

— Emily

"My dog loved the flavor but the treats did not love her back. They upset her stomach so bad she was howling, Luna being a 20 pound poodle isn’t usually a howler but she had to express her pain somehow. Nothing but liquid when we took her outside to use the restroom"

Bottom Line

They are a good choice if your dog tolerates them, but be cautious of potential digestive issues, and otherwise, a great option for dog owners looking for a rawhide-free dog chew. Be advised and read the reviews to be well prepared.
