"The dogs loved them. They were moist and chewy and they entertained the dogs for more than a second. I liked that they had to stop and chew them instead of just scarfing them down....makes it worth the money spent."

— deb

"We feed our boxer pedigree because she likes it but not sure what is with is treat but she absolutely refuses to eat it she is picky but it's rare that she won't at least try it this one sniff and it stayed where we put it for a week. Usually, she will if nothing else play with it or toss it around..."
