SmartBones SmartSticks Chicken Chews Dog Treats

My boxer and pit bull loved them but they just go through it so fast when I give them one I'm afraid they would choke but that never happened. I will only give them treats such as these that are 100% rawhide free.First off I didn't taste one,lol. I say that because I have tried a lot of treats for them and some treats smell SO bad and one I tried you even needed to wash your hands after handling them. These smart sticks had a very pleasant smell to them. I do wish they had packages with more than 10 sticks.

I bought these for my old lady Boston Terrier after major dental surgery left her with only a few remaining teeth (she used to chew bully sticks but they became too tough post-surgery). She loves them, and makes her way through one in about 30-45 minutes (so I wouldn't recommend these for aggressive chewers). The sticks themselves smell kind of fruity, which I prefer to "chicken-y" so that's cool. Worth noting that they do "flake" a lot as my dog chews them, but it's possible other dogs might eat those bits instead of leaving little piles in their wake. Definitely not a dealbreaker for me, as they don't *seem* to stain and are easy to vacuum. I wouldn't let my dog chew one on a white couch, but I bought these for my old lady Boston Terrier after major dental surgery left her with only a few remaining teeth (she used to chew bully sticks but they became too tough post-surgery).

My dogs love these (the peanut butter flavor too), so I'll still buy them as a special treat, but I don't like that they're marketed as a long-lasting replacement for rawhide chews. These things don't even last 60 seconds with my 40-pound beagle mix and 90-pound husky mix, where a similarly sized rawhide chew could keep them busy for an hour. They just bite right through them, basically.

My dog just always loves these treats. They only last a minute or two though with her, so if you are looking for a long lasting rawhide alternative chew you may want to look at other options! But if that doesn't matter to you, they are worth a try for sure.

My Hope is fussy when it comes to snacks and food. She enjoys these though and I like them because they aren't super hard to break her teeth and are easily digestible.

We have 3 Great Pyrenees dogs and I don't think I have ever seen them so excited about a treat. Our big boy was literally shaking sitting there waiting for the stick. They do not last long though, maybe 2-3 minutes tops, but boy they love them.

not only my dog that loves them— but i think they smell delicious! they smell like a good pineapple scent! rawhide is bad for dogs so i purchased these as an alternative, and my dogs really like them, i definitely recommend :)

My lab is a big chewer. It’s tough to find things that will keep him occupied and interested in so he’s not chewing other things. These are irresistible to him, but he goes through one very quickly. Wish they were a little bit firmer so they’d last longer. But overall I think they’re great and will definitely purchase them again.

Wish I had noticed before I let my dog eat two of these that one one of the top three ingredients is sorbitol. Sorbitol has a laxative effect, so it’s been quite a day today. . . .

Honestly, my 4-mth old Catahoula chewed a Smartstick up, but he left pieces all over the place for me to pick up. The pieces were "yucky/slimey" to touch. I ordered two pkgs. so will donate to local dog pound if I can't return them.
