Highlighted Reviews

β€” Kevin

"Our dogs can’t get enough of these treats. Definitely would buy again."

β€” Julie

"The sticks were not moist and were very crumbly. It is difficult to find treats that don’t have chicken, so I was disappointed that these weren’t the texture that I expected. I will keep looking for something else that is poultry free."

Bottom Line

If your dog isn’t too picky and doesn’t have dental issues, these can be a good option, although they may not fit all dogs well. Would recommend keeping an eye out for variations in product texture and quality.
