Highlighted Reviews

— Julie

"I've been getting these for my dogs (17lbs & 27lbs) for a few months. The smallest have been around an inch, but not as thin as what older reviews complained of. They are a nice alternative to beef bully sticks for moderate chewers or smaller dogs - they take my dogs 5-10min to get through."

— Cyndi

"These are more like pure grease sticks, They are soft and not like a bully braid at all. Really disappointing"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a beef-free treat your dog might enjoy, these are worth considering. But be aware of potential quality issues and check reviews for batch consistency before purchasing.
