BUYER BEWARE

Purina paid off a friend $7000 for a blockage caused to her dog that nearly killed it. The bones turned into sticky tacky substance in the intestines and caused blockage killing off 12in of intestines and $23k in surgeries….nearly died.

I would NOT recommend these. My dog loves them but when he chewed the ends and swallowed they got stuck in his stomach. Had to take him to emergency vet to have them pushed thru. My dog was deathly sick.

Our fussy dog LOVED IT!!!

It was unbelievable. Our very fussy dog, who is not food motivated at all (you can literally pull a steak out of his mouth), went after this treat like he never ate before in his life. Will definitely buy again.

unsafe for aggressive chewer

We have a Labrador retriever who will eat absolutely anything you give him in a matter of minutes. We tried a few of these bones and thought they were great, however, my dog chewed (or rather didn’t chew) these bones up enough one time and they about killed him. Part of the bone became lodged in his stomach or intestine and he almost died. Couldn’t eat or drink for 2 days and was extremely lethargic. Thankfully something passed 2 days later but the bone wasn’t broken down!!! These bones do not break down once the dog hasn’t eaten them. MAKE SURE YOUR DOG CHEWS COMPLETELY.

will not buy again

Our pups loved these but one day our dog got a piece the size of a quarter stuck in his intestines. He couldn’t get it to pass he became lethargic thankfully the emergency vet was able to push it through his intestines out during surgery instead of completely cutting him open. Will never buy again.

Very sticky, not good.

These bones are extremly sticky, imagine the glue made with flour as a kid. It gets on tile, carpet, and wood floors. All will require elaborate cleaning when your furry friend is finished. If you turn them loose outside it gets covered in dirt and grass. They even mafe a mess on the bricks on my patio. I would not purchase agian or ever recomend them.

I'll never buy these again

I bought these a couple weeks ago, on the strength of good reviews here. I have two puppies, 9 and 13 months. One seems to have done well with these. The other -- explosive diarrhea (three instances so far); urgency (two instances so far); vomiting (one instance, so far.) My 13-month old is usually full of energy, and she is sleeping. You can see in her eyes when she opens them how she feels. One instance of the terrible diarrhea was preceded by her literally shaking and panting. The ingredients looked good, and so did the reviews. I don't know what's in here, but I will never give these to my dogs again.

Expensive but dogs love it

I think these are expensive for the small size but I have paid 45.00 for a 3lb chicken jerky bag online before. The dogs want what they want.....they love these. The girl takes it and trots off tail wagging to go inside her dog house. The boy eats his outside of her dog house. This is one treat they never snub up on.

Smelled horrible, made my dog sick

I only gave my dog two of these. The first time she got horrible diarrhea. It was at Christmas and I thought maybe she had eaten too many table scraps or gotten into something else. About a month later I gave her another one and the same thing happened. They went in the trash after that.

Made my dogs sick

These bones made my two dogs so sick. They have been throwing up since I gave the bones to them. I feel terrible but wanted to write this to let others know. I have a catahoula which is 6 months old and a bull terrier that is 4. These are not good for them. I honestly think one of my dogs might have an obstruction from them.
