Highlighted Reviews
"This is a fantastic snack for trail dogs - concentrated calories, moisture content, easy to pack along. Can't give it five stars not satisfying for sellers."
"This has to do with Chewy's sourcing, not the actual product, I love it. But I received a product which was 6 months away from expiration and it felt like the date was ignored. Vomitted twice by dogs. But I plan on trying this snack again and hopefully, getting a new case from Chewy without expiring..."
Bottom Line
This product is a hit with dogs but comes with reliability concerns due to expiration issues. Buy with caution and always verify the expiration date.
