"'Holly LOVES these. I like them because they are all natural and last longer than regular treat. But the one thing that's disappointing isSOMETIMES you'll get a pkg where they're so thin or almost hollow. I've only had that happen a handful of times over the years. Otherwise we'll worth the price."

— mark

"The photo makes these treats look larger than they actually are. They are itty bitty - so thin that my dogs finish them in 20-30 seconds. Very dissatisfied!!!"
