"I originally purchased because Bruno has only two teeth left and could not chew the Turkey tendons I was getting, feeling left out. These I can break down and give him while Tequila eats hers"

— Kim

"My small dog started choking. The chicken chips are great. They are hard and crunchy while the turkey chips are chewy and harder to break apart."

Bottom Line

These treats are a great option for dogs who enjoy turkey and have dental issues but be cautious of the potential choking hazards and durability problems.
