"They were recommended and my dog likes them. Not yet convinced they really help, but will give them some time before I decide."
"she devours everything whole. i attempted to hold the chew so she could reap some benefit, but her iron cladl jaws and their strength were no match for my fingers attempting to hold the chew... loved the treat despite this"
