"If there’s one thing that shows up at my front door that the dog know what it is it’s these bones. They go absolutely crazy over them. They’re their favorite toys and they distract them for hours!! From my smallest six month old dog to my oldest five year old dog each one of them loves these!!"

β€” Ali

"The joint end of this bone will get chewed/broken off. This leaves a large marble to small golf ball size piece of bone your dog can swallow."
