"My Shipoo dog who is a heavy chewer just loves the taste and size of these treats. Keeps him busy and worth the $$. I’ll be ordering again."

β€” Amanda

"While a BIG OUTSIDE dog might love these, I did not. They REEK and separate during chewing....made my dog- under 25 pounds, I admit, made him heave up everything he ate that day. Big dog, outside, with supervision might be better than a smaller dog. Oh boy, do they stink!"

Bottom Line

If your dog can tolerate the strong smell and you’re looking for a treat for heavy chewers or puppies, these might be worth a try. However, be cautious with smaller dogs and consider using them outdoors or with supervision.
