"My dog loves these sweet potato chips. He can't have bones so I replaced the bones with these chips"

— LL18

"My dogs love sweet potatoes and other brands of dried treats but they turned their noses up at these. They didn't even have a sweet potato smell. I wasted my money on these. I wanted to give zero stars but was not allowed to."

Bottom Line

These sweet potato treats are a hit with dogs but have quality and durability issues. We would recommend checking the bag as soon as it arrives and throw it away immediately if it looks or smells suspicious. If two separate bedes have been returned as contaminated, you are probably best contacting both Chewy and the manufacturer for a refund.
