"Pure & simple says it all... Though I have a large dog( 90 lbs) she luvs these smaller treats.. she holds in paws and happily chews. I travel w/ them to keep her busy in hotel rooms or on vacation. Will order more!"

— HairyPotter

"My large 100lb dog got VERY sick very soon after eating one of these. He pooped liquid for a week! I know these can harbor harmful bacteria and I guess I didn't realize this could happen. He has had rawhides before. This was a different experience."

Bottom Line

These treats are a gamble; they might be a hit with some pets but carry significant risks. Consider alternatives for sensitive or large dogs.
