Highlighted Reviews

β€” Lauren 10 found helpful

"My 25lb dog is obsessed with these. They're pretty stinky (not as strong as bully sticks) and really hold his interest. Even our senior will occasionally grab one. Stronger chewers might find these too easy to break chips off."

β€” Lauren

"I always used to purchase these until now, never again. They are as brittle as can be and break into sharp pieces instantly. Had to throw the whole bag out."

Bottom Line

Yes, they could be purchased again for the pleasure of dogs but in smaller volumes.
