Highlighted Reviews

— Michaelene

"Both of our dogs love this. The sticks are soft enough to break for the smaller guy so he can easily share what the bigger guy is enjoying. This is a quality treat that I am happy to give to our dogs."

— Steve

"My dog loved these treats, but the last two batches (both shipped within the last couple of days) have been dried out, broken and may have given her diarrhea (that is a conclusion on my part). However, Chewy appears to be aware of the issue (I have had chat with them) and are investigating the issue..."
