Highlighted Reviews

— JosieB

"My dogs love these treats-they are great for small dogs."

— Hatschiepoom

"I can't understand what it is about these he doesn't like - have checked contents multiple times and come to no conclusion. It certainly isn't because they are very dry/hard to chew - he eats other treats that are hard!"

Bottom Line

If you have a small dog who enjoys beef-flavored treats, these are a great option. Just be aware that the treats are smaller than they appear and some dogs may not like them.
