Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions

Since the only ingredient is beef liver, any reason why these can't be given to cats?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 26, 2018
These treats are formulated and sized specifically for dogs.

Are these antibiotic and hormone free? I see that none were added but wonder if there are existing ingredients that are not mentioned.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 13, 2020
These treats are made from pure, raw, freeze-dried Beef Liver, free from added hormones and antibiotics.

Where are these made?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 05, 2024
These treats are made in the United States.

Can these freeze dried products be used for puppies? I noticed most specified adults.

Answer by Chewy • Oct 14, 2022
These treats are suitable for dogs of all ages. With puppies, it is recommended starting with a half a treat once or twice a day, especially if not feeding a raw diet yet.

These treats are tiny! Perfect for small dogs. Easily break. Also good for dogs missing teeth. They sucked them down and they don’t normally eat treats. They loved them and were whining for more. . Good amount in the bag. Love that they are freeze dried and have minimal ingredients. I’m sad they are out of stock! I’ll definitely be ordering them again with my next re-order! Price was reasonable.

First time using these. Gave my dog 4 (they’re small) this morning while on a walk. Two hours later and he has what looks to be severe indigestion. May not be due to the treats, but out of an abundance of caution, we’re tossing these.

My dog loves these but now I’m afraid to give them to her because it looks like one piece had mold on it. Most pieces are square. This one was just misshapen. It’s a large bag too and I hate that we can’t use them.

Stinky but delicious

Milli and Roxy absolutely loved loved loved these smelly treats. When I first opened the container and the smell hit me I almost was afraid to give it to them

Milli and Roxy absolutely loved loved loved these smelly treats. When I first opened the container and the smell hit me I almost was afraid to give it to them. But I gave them a sm piece and they devoured it. The rest is history. The big container is very economical so I like that it lasts at least a month. My babies are very spoiled when it comes to their treats.They won’t go to bed unless they get a bedtime snacky 1st

Inconsistent quality

I’ve bought many bags of these to use as treats while leash training and I’ve noticed not all bags are created equal. A lot of them have had very hard, sharp pieces

I’ve bought many bags of these to use as treats while leash training and I’ve noticed not all bags are created equal. A lot of them have had very hard, sharp pieces that almost feel like bone mixed in with the liver. Otherwise, he does love these
