Highlighted Reviews

β€” Amy

"My Leonberger’s absolutely love the barbell shape bullies."

β€” Seth

"I snapped a piece off pretty easily. So I considered it a potential choke hazard and closely monitored while my dog chewed. Seemed to be okay, but I’ll try something different."

Bottom Line

These treats may not be the best choice for smaller dogs or those who swallow treats whole. Larger sizes might be more suitable for bigger dogs, but that option does not appear to resolve the root issue of uncertainty surrounding dimensions and safety.
