Highlighted Reviews

— Vicki

"We load several types of goodies in the KONG. This meatball is the first to go in, followed by biscuits and kibble. BUT the meatball is the PRIZE when it comes out. They do dry out, so don't wait to use up."

— Christine

"The meatballs were hard as rocks. Couldn't give them to my dogs. Either the bag was not sealed properly and contained a leak or the inventory was old. I didn't check for an expiration date. Threw away. Normally everything I get from Chewy is awesome, including the service."

Bottom Line

If your dog loves KONG toys and you can keep the treats fresh, these are a great option. Otherwise, be ready to use them quickly or consider softer alternatives.
