"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"

— Beth

"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."

Bottom Line

A decent choice for dog treats, especially good for training. But prudent consumers should be mindful of the texture/consistency issues.
