"I'm a professional dog trainer and training instructor. My own three dogs and most of my clients' dogs tell me this combo of turkey and pumpkin is delicious. I like these because their size is big enough that they are easy to hold (@ 1" x 3") and easy to break off small pieces to feed as a reward."

— Jaimie

"Beware! They changed the ingredients without warning. Ingredients are no longer limited and differ from what is shown in photos and in the details! My dog was allergic to one of the new ingredients and got hives!!!!"

Bottom Line

A good treat for dogs, but monitor for any changes in ingredients and odors. Potential allergens mentioned.
