"My 8 month old Rottweiler loves these treats. I can easily get her to do a few tricks for one of these and keeps her occupied for 15-20 min"
"These chews are a similar price point but 1/4 the size of the old ones. DO NOT BUY THESE. They would be a one chomp and gone type chew for a medium/or a large dog and they last my corgi roughly 3 minutes compared to the 15-20 minutes the other brand lasted. VERY disappointed"
