Highlighted Reviews

— Heather

"Good deal. My 4 pups love these. They last long."

"Both dogs immediately began chewing on this base and breaking off pieces and swallowing them. Complete waste of money. Horns that I purchased from pet stores locally have very thick bases that the dogs are incapable of breaking off pieces."

Bottom Line
