Highlighted Reviews

— Marsha

"When training a puppy, you always need a good high value treat to reward exceptional behaviour. This fit the requirement. My Bailey loves them. I can get her to do anything if one of these is waiting for her when she is done. Well, almost anything, I still have dirty windows."

— Elaine

"This product is very rubbery and She had a hard time chewing it and it gave her loose stools. The treats are not easy to tear into smaller pieces by hand either."

Bottom Line

If your dog enjoys these treats and can chew them, they are a great high-value reward. However, be prepared for a strong smell and potential chewing difficulties. The effectiveness in training is notable, but the consistency in chewing might be a concern.
