Working at an animal shelter, I want to make sure the dogs get GOOD treats. Not any that have had bad reviews such as waggin train. They love these and I know won't cause any health issues.

My Dane was undecided if she liked these or not. When she finally decided that she was going to try one I thought she had finished it, but she only ate half and hasn't touched it since.

My yellow labrador loves these. He gets one in the morning and one at night. I get him the small/medium size and he eats every bite.

It was okay, It look a loooong time for my dog to finally decide he wants to eat it. Careful were you feed this product..As it leaves crumbs and a bit of a small mess. (I feed my dog this outdoors!)

Busy Bone not very busy

This review is NOT based off of one dog one time. I personally have given this product to my miniture schnauzer and my toy poodle. Both had this completely eaten in less than 5 mins. My mothers 2 dachshunds and toy poodle also had it gone in less than 5 mins.
The other major draw back for me is how messy it is because it brakes off into small crumbs.
For the same price I can buy my dog a rawhide and she's just as happy and it lasts longer w/o the mess.

My lab/husky mix devoured this treat in no time at all. he loved it, but it left little tidbits stuck to his face, ears,paws, my floor, his blanket, and after the "thank you" kisses, me. lol. May be suitable for other pups, but not my Max.

This is one of my dog's favorite treats

He loves these busy bones, when he gets tired of chewing on the 20" rawhide bone he has, he likes to chew on these. They're not as messy as the other "bones" made with granola. With my dog, there is no clean up because he will find every last piece he may have dropped.
Pros: affordable, dog enjoys them

My Cairn Terrier puppy loves them. No mess behind when she is done. Keeps her busy chewing--and not on my couch. They do tend to disappear quickly. I don't mind because I think they are better for her than rawhide.

Pepsie(the papillon) enjoyed these treats. She liked the flavor. But, these aren't actually "long lasting"! She finished one easily in about 2 hours total! And it has by-products. But it's a great chew. Also, it's messy so I reccomend letting your dog chew this on a towel so it can easy be cleanud up because this chew leaves crumbs.
Pros: dog likes to chew on it, dog likes the taste
Cons: by-products, not long lasting!, a bit messy; leaves crumbs behind

Kept my Boston Terrier busy for about 10 seconds, ate it like a treat. They don't last long.

My goldendoodle loved these! It's a good thing I only bought one, though. I can't stand the smell of these. I'm not sure what it smells like, to me, but it just smells weird.
Pros: dog loves them
Cons: smell

My dachshund is really picky when it comes to bones. So I've tried many different types. These are the only ones she'll chew on! She loves them! She'll spend hours chewing on them!

I bought this bone for my puppy and he loves them. It keeps him occupied for hours. I suggest allowing your pet to chew on tile or wood floor that can be wiped down.
