Our pups' absolute favorites!
Size: 9 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 9 Count (Pack of 1)
Our two little rescue dogs Molly and Layla are very, very, very picky. However, these lamb strips are their ABSOLUTELY favorite treat. They have other favorites, but sometimes aren't in the mood for one or another. But this one-- never! If they see the bag, but I try to give them something else, they both just look at me as if to say, "Forget that. Give us the really good stuff, Mom!" They aren't cheap. So, I ration them out. It's not a daily thing. That keeps them special, too. Here they are in the photo, waiting patiently to get one of these lamb strips from me.
