"My dogs go crazy for this treat. Recommended by my vet tech for their teeth."

— Casey

"I snagged these to fill my cart to get to free shipping. I hadn’t bought them before, but have had other items of the same brand. I noticed the reviews were good, so I figured “why not.” When I opened the bag, the first thing I noticed was a very strong and unpleasant chemical smell. I gave on..."
