Highlighted Reviews
"My dog loves these bones and her teeth look great. I give her one after our morning walk and she waits by the cabinet knowing it's coming. Tink has chicken allergy and these are one of the few dental chews I have found with no chicken."
"Too hard, brittle. Milo would instantly break off huge chunks and swallow them whole. They'd pass intact but were dangerously big chunks."
