"These bones have lasted longer than any other bone I’ve tried so far for our power chewer! These will be the only bones we buy for him from now on. I was happy to find that they did not have a filling inside like most of similar ones!"

— Patricia

"I bought this for my German Shepherd (female about 65 pounds) and within a matter of minutes she had broken off 2 sharp pieces each about 2 inches long."

Bottom Line
