"My dogs really enjoy this, but I would recommend putting the extra in the refrigerator until you are ready to give them to the dogs for some reason they attack ant otherwise."

— SammieMom

"Received molded bones which contaminated the entire box!! Black MOLD!! I'm done spending my money at Chewy.com This is the 3rd time I've received horrible quality treats for my pure breed dog. I spent over $50 on this box and can't use anything. I'm done with this company."

Bottom Line

These treats might be a hit with some dogs, but the risks of mold and digestive issues make them a gamble. Consider other options, especially for sensitive dogs.
