Highlighted Reviews

— Tammi

"My pup is food motivated with these treats. I've taught her to sit, lay down, and to come with these. I break them apart and use one piece for many commands."

— Stu

"My puppy has had diarrhea for several weeks. She is super skinny now. Vet has run tests. They advised most likely cause to be food and treats. They do not recommend anything from Blue Buffalo. Wish I knew this before spending hundreds on vet bills and food."

Bottom Line

These treats are a hit with puppies who like the flavor and they work well for training. However, the potential health risks and sizing issues mean they should be used with caution, especially for smaller breeds.
