"Our pups seem to know a Chewy package from other packages we get! They started jumping up and down when I brought in the Chewy box from the porch. The Kong brand toys were good quality.

"Unfortunately, after my puppy ate the American Journey treats she became very sick. I then noticed the treats were covered in mold. I am very disappointed in this product as the toys were great and the treats were not expired."
