"My dog loves this thing and carries it everywhere. Great distraction for keeping him from chewing up my furniture and makes no mess"

— Tabitha

"The material itself is made of nylon which can damage your dog's stomach lining. While maple syrup itself is good for dogs, infusing it into a plastic bone is just as dangerous as feeding your dog cooked chicken bones. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT."
