Highlighted Reviews

— Silvia

"my boy absolutely love the dog treats, when they get to small and I'm afraid something could go wrong, I put the treats in the microwave for a few seconds and they puff up, after they cool, I let the dogs finish them."

— Heather

"These break off in little junks. I didn't realize that was happening until my dog vomited up a fairly big piece and another small chunk. I don't think they are safe for medium or large-sized dogs. My dog is 30 lbs."

While dogs seem to enjoy them, use with caution and under supervision due to choking risks. Regrefer to this aspect before putting them on a treat chart for chewing treatment.
