Loves this!!

This is a great high-protein, shelf-stable treat for my baby. He loves it and I feel good knowing he’s getting something good for him, not full of fillers.

Freeze dried chicken

I wish they would find a way to store/ship these to avoid 1/3 of the bag being crumbs when it arrives

I use it to make chicken broth for my cat

I powderize these treats in my food processor and use it to make broth for my cat. She likes it and it encourages her to drink more water

Smashed

They arrived smashed by the bag of dog food that was in the same box, I assume. They are now in crumbles, so difficult to use for training, like I planned. Not
