I’ve brought this brand of chicken a few times and I just hate that I’m paying for 13 if that pieces of chicken. The rest is just dust and shreds. I’ve ordered it by itself, so nothing crushed the package. Their quality control is just not good.

Great treats!

Macie loves these chicken treats. They seem to stay fresh, where I’ve had some different labels that seem to go stale faster. Sometimes the pieces are too small

Macie loves these chicken treats. They seem to stay fresh, where I’ve had some different labels that seem to go stale faster. Sometimes the pieces are too small and I have to use it as a topping on her food but she doesn’t seem to mind.
