Highlighted Reviews
"My dog absolutely loves this. She chooses it over all her other harder textured bones so I think this slightly gummy texture feels better on her teeth. She’s 11 yrs old now so I think she’s just starting to need more age appropriate toys. Glad we found this."
"This chew toy comes apart in little pieces that is not good for my dog I'm disappointed I would like my money back or exchange it for something else but it's not a sturdy toy it's half torn apart my dog is only a year old she's 20 lb and there's no reason why this gel so it doesn't last it's suppose..."
