— Carlene

"My dogs love these treats. They are soft so you can just cut them down for a small dog. They are chewy so she loves them. Most smaller snacks on the market are very hard. I would love to see more flavors from Hills!"

— Julie

"I have been giving these treats to my dog for 9 years. They are always soft, I opened a bag and they were hard and crunchy. As I opened a second bag, the same. I am very disappointed because I purchased 5 bags and cannot use!"
