Highlighted Reviews

"Price was good and my dog stayed on it longer than other rib bones."

— Sandy

"DO NOT BUY!! This product produces very hard, sharp shards which are dangerous for a dog to swallow. My dog threw up after chewing up one of these and many sharp chards were detected."

Bottom Line

Do not purchase these bones due to the high risk of injury to your dog. There are safer alternatives available.
