"My recently rescued dog, Buddy, loves this! He works at getting all the stuff out of it. Then I refill with peanut butter and put it in the freezer, and he goes to work licking it out all over again."

— Brenda

"Trying to unwrap the shrink wrap and cut my finger on the bone. Started to look closer and it had long thin razor sharp flakes of bone. I pulled them off to find the whole thing is sharp and splintered. Tossed it out, unused. Waste of money!"
