My red heeler loves these treats! I bought them originally because they're free from corn, wheat and soy, no artificial colors and preservatives, and no by-product meal, and I'll buy them again. They smell like bacon, look like bacon strips, but the dog's not talking as to what they taste like. I also like that I can break up a strip into thirds then into smaller pieces instead of having her glomming down on one large strip and it's then gone.
