Highlighted Reviews
"We love these twists. We switch between original minties and these and it makes for a nice mix. They’re very popular with my dog and easy to digest."
"I used to like these because they smell so good and they were bendable. Now, after more tries they seem so hard after the first treat chews and it sounds like dogs are chewing and breaking hard particles. They are so hard and break into such large pieces that I can't imagine they are cleaning teeth..."
