Boomer Ball

This is the second Boomer Ball I have gotten for my Pitbull. First one lasted 2 years. Best buy ever. Every other ball I've bought for him doesn't even last a week. He is addicted to "Mr Boomer". Highly recommend them, especially for dogs with strong jaws that like chewing. The closest thing to indestructible I've found.

Great service

Speedy delivery and amazing service! Highly recommend.

These very delicious bones getting very hard if not used in a specific time. Is there maybe a way to get it softer again? My 13year old Maltese loves these bones but when it gets hard he cannot chew them

Excellent

This product is amazing. My cats love it. Tasty and healthy. Perfect.
