Highlighted Reviews

— Amy

"We bought these for our senior pup who has to avoid a LOT of ingredients due to food allergies, kidney issues and pancreatic problems. She loves them, helps her get her meds in, and our other dogs started begging for them too (one isn't food motivated at all and can tell when the bag is being opened..."

— Doglover98

"They are very dense and sticky. Even though we managed to tear them into tiny pieces, our little old dog choked on them."

Bottom Line

While these treats are a good option for dogs with specific dietary needs, the high risk of choking and the firm texture make them less suitable. Consider them cautiously, especially for small dogs.
