"Was looking for a chew that lasted longer than one second so I could give it to my pup when we go to a bar so she'll get over the initial excitement of being out. These don't last terribly long but they're great, for the price as a longer than a few minutes chew!"

— Lynn

"I purchased these because I have a difficult time breaking the larger ones I buy in half. They are not 5 inches long and very narrow. It's basically just a splinter. Don't waste your money. I will be sticking with the U.S.A. brand. Our doggie loves those."

Bottom Line

Due to significant concerns about splintering and lack of interest from dogs, these treats may not be a safe or enjoyable choice for your pet. Consider alternative dog treats that are softer and more durable.
