Highlighted Reviews

β€” Alicia

"All my dogs love these and we have 13 dogs 4 different breeds and not a single allergic reaction! Some are allergic to chicken so this is a great alternative. I wish there were more bag size options but I’m super pleased with these treats. Highly recommend"

β€” Yvone

"Above all else, Rick loves his duck feet. Unfortunately, the Barkworthies Smoked Duck Feet were too... greasy/smoky for him. Between a regular dehydrated duck foot and the Barkworthies Smoked Duck feet, he opted for the regularly dehydrated one without hesitation."

Bottom Line

If your dog enjoys smoky flavors and doesn’t have a sensitive stomach, these treats could be a good fit. But be prepared for some mess and potential digestive issues.
