Highlighted Reviews
"These weren't the regular peanut butter bones that I've been buying from you, but Rocky liked them."
"I have been buying the Pur Luv large bones for over 6 years,but for want ever reason they have dropped all the bones but this one (brown rice & chicken). Ordered 2 bags on last auto ship and just open them. I cut them in half for my 2 dogs, but these bags (both) were as hard as a rock, could not cut..."
