"These treats are so delightful that the experience was great due to the taste involving delicous banana in the treat."

โ€” Andrea

"These are NOT soft treats. I needed a soft treat or one that would easily crumble for our Chihuahua with no teeth. These are so hard!! Hillโ€™s needs to stop labeling them as โ€œsoft.โ€ I tossed them in the trash."

Bottom Line

If your dog loves the taste and you don't mind occasional hardness, these treats are worth a try. However, if your dog needs very soft treats, it may be best to consider other options.
