β€” Laurie

"My Golden Retriever loves these chews. He will chew on them for a long time, especially if he’s anxious. The perfect occupier if we want to watch TV."

β€” Lisa

"THE HORNS IN THIS PACKAGE ARE SO BIG MY MINI GOLDEN DOODLES (THAT WEIGH 25 LBS )COULDN’T EVEN PICK THEM UP. MY SON OPENED THE PACKAGE SO I COULDN’T RETURN THEM. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE HORNS WERE SO BIG IN THE DESCRIPTION. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY."

Bottom Line

If you have a large dog who is an aggressive chewer, these horns are a good choice. If you own a smaller dog, avoid these to prevent choking. Elsewhere, if you notice fluctuations in batches, consider other brands for reliability.
