"I use these chewy treats to wrap & mold them around tablets I give my dog. He wont eat his Vitamins & Glucosamine tablets unless I wrap them in Kong chewy treats, which are less expensive than the pill covers I was using, & he likes them better."

— Hattrick

"These are okay, and yes, my dogs eat them w/o hesitation. But, they crumble, are too small for my three 50-pounders, yet are an okay size for my two mini-Dachshunds and one Chihuahua/Terrier mix. Pet food is soooo expensive, and treats are even more expensive. I may just have to switch back to a pro..."

Bottom Line

These treats are a good option for small dogs or for concealing tablets but may not be suitable for larger dogs or heavy chewers.
