Highlighted Reviews

— Elisabel

"My dog absolutely loved it and we’ve gotten it several times. Only thing I can say if your do is a chewing type this bone won’t last long. My 6 month old golden doodle devoured this within 5 min. He chewed it to nothing quick. He loves it though."

— Andria

"This splintered the first day. The splinters were sharp and jagged"

Bottom Line

A poorly designed feast item. Excellent for smaller breeds that don't chew strongly.
