"Our girl is 13 1/2 years old and has been chewing these for most of her life. Have never had to have her teeth cleaned and she is still is amazing shape!"

β€” cheryl

"They say Jumbo on the outside. Not true. They’re small. We have a big dog. I’m disappointed that they advertise a Jumbo size and they are small. Deceptive and bad for business."
