Highlighted Reviews

— Maureen

"Had some dried meat, and Buddy loves to chew on these bones. Buddy is a Pug, and this is a big bone. However Pugs have large mouths, and want something that will work their jaws. These are perfect and would be great for larger dogs too."

— Donna

"I gave this to Sophia and within 45 minutes, no joke, she had it splintered into 12 pieces. I bought two and don't know what to do with the other now. I certainly don't want to give it to her."

Bottom Line

While these treats are a hit with many dogs and have good initial appeal, the safety concerns and durability issues make them a less reliable choice. Buyers should be aware of the potential risks and ensure they supervise their dogs while consuming these treats.
