Highlighted Reviews

"I work from home and keeping 2 active dogs busy is a challenge. These bones kept them busy for hours and best of all they would get up and play like crazy with each other and then return to chew some more. It took 2 days to finish one bone each."

— Vicky

"Do NOT buy these for heavy chewers, they splinter easily and dogs chew off large pieces,, I now have 2 Labradors vomiting up large pieces of these bones !! Very dangerous for large dogs,, I wouldn’t have gave even 1 star but had to in order to review these.."

Bottom Line

While affordable, the risks associated with this treat make it a poor choice, especially for larger dogs or heavy chewers.
