"My dogs had a nin stop party. The bones are very ling lasting so i gave them breaks from them, refrgerated them and then used them again at a later time."

— Cecilia

"I bought this for my dog thinking it would be fine for her to chew on, but within a minute she had chewed off part of the bone and eaten it. Cooked bones are harmful to dogs and can kill them. The bone falls apart way too easily and splinters as well. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this product."

Due to the high risk of splintering and potential health issues, these bones are not recommended for any dog size. Consider safer, more durable alternatives.
