Highlighted Reviews
"The dogs love blueberries so this blend is perfect for her! It takes her a few weeks to get all the stuffing out. Once the stuffing is out you can refill it with whatever you want. My only wish is that they sold it in a large bone multi-pack."
"All same brand, same size advertised, but just want you to see the actual size that they could be. My dogs love these bones and this is the first time they’ve been this small. 3-4 inches. These two are crazy small."
