"I am always looking for rawhide alternative treats for my dogs. As they get older they need that extra collagen (they do not like chicken feet). My 13yr old Snickers is pretty picky and he really likes them. They are pencil thin, but it is a great size Just right bite for a daily treat!!"
"My Maltipoo had a very hard time chewing them so she basically just swallow large pieces. She got a upset tummy and vomited them up. Very scary for me and my fur baby. Don't recommend them for smaller dogs."
Bottom Line
If you have a medium to large dog that can handle a chewy treat, these collagen sticks are worth a try. However, keep an eye on smaller dogs to ensure they can safely chew them.
