"Great treat for any dog - I have a Shih Tzu that loves these. They break in half easily and great for dogs whih allergies - Simple and great."

— Bern

"This used to be our "go to" treat for our little Shih Tzu. But lately they are chopped up into short little bits, making this both a hassle to consume and a choking hazard for your furry friend. Changing, to a different brand."

Bottom Line

While the treats are tasty, the potential choking hazard and inconsistent size make it a risky choice. Consider alternative treats for smaller dogs or those with chewing difficulties.
