My dog loved these! What a waste of good beef heart though. We grind it in when making our burger. We used to purchase a blend from an organic store back in the mid `70's that was used by the Washington Redskins in their training camp, that is where we got the idea.

My poochies gave this a five "woof" rating. I followed instructions exactly as listed and it worked perfectly. A great way to use up the beef heart.
