Highlighted Reviews
"My pup loves it, low calory and great for training, but we use it for mind stimulation games for older dogs. This tempts him to exercise physically and mentally"
"I was hopeful for these treats, but was disappointed. The treats were hard out of the bag. My 10-week-old maltipoo refuses to eat them. Wasted my money. Do not recommend. Will not repurchase."
