"Even our picky eater loves these snacks. It's the first thing we open when the Chewy box arrives!!"

β€” Misty

"Looks like cadet changed the recipe for the chicken wrapped apples. They are super hard a lot smaller and an orange color. My dog does not like this. Now I have to try to find a new treat for her. I wish for that would go back to they’re all the recipe because this ain’t working for us."

Bottom Line

These treats should be considered for dogs who enjoy chicken and apple flavors, but you may want to check for quality consistency batch to batch. Consider monitoring the latest reviews as any quality issues for this product are on the rise.
