"My dog Bandit loves these. He would eat them 24/7 if I let him. They are no mess and very easy for him to digest."

β€” Susan

"Since the sticks were listed as bacon and cheese flavor, I didn’t read the ingredients. Unfortunately they contain chicken (real or flavoring) and my dog is allergic to chicken. A Rx later and she was fine but an expensive lesson for me to learn to read ALL ingredients in treats."

Bottom Line

SmartBones SmartSticks are a great option for dog owners looking for a safe, tasty, and durable treat. Although some users wish for a higher count per pack and one user had an allergy concern, the overwhelming positive feedback makes them a solid choice for most dogs.
