OK. One more question for y'all: About how long do one of these chews last? Thanks, Judy

I have a Boxer that loves them and it takes about 10 minutes, at the most. They are good for their teeth.

I have a German Shepherd and 20 minutes is about the most any of these chews last. She loves them though........

Judy... That's a tough one. For my dog it was maybe 15 minutes. She is an avid chewer. Also- these made her very sick. She would swallow the last little chunk and them become very ill with diarrhea and vomitting until that piece came out. I stopped buying them and got rid of the ones I had. My dog is a vizsla/wolf mix, so not a terribly small or dainty dog, but these treats did a number on her. I finally wound up abandoning ALL treats of this nature including pigs ears, bully sticks, and rawhide of any sort because they all have the same potential for gastric issues. I would up with pre steralized rib eye bones filled with peanut butter made by Redbarn. No problems. For an ingestible chewy treat I found a brand called Get Naked who makes dental chews that are loved by my dog and digest wonderfully even when she gulps down the last piece. They are also made in the USA and contain great ingredients- the smell great like fruit almost. I probably told you more than you wanted to know... Hope it helped.

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

Chris, where did you read that? It would be helpful to know so that I can make an educated decision on whether to keep buying these for my dog. Thanks.

Well, my dobie is about 90 lbs and I gave two-three chews (large dogs) and lasted 3-4 hours- gave her more on days more anxious without side effects

They vary in size and thickness. Some are about an 1/8" thick and some are a bit more than 1/4". None have been thicker than that. If your dog is fairly small (we have miniature beagles) they will be able to chew these. They might not last too long with larger breeds but it helps with massaging their gums. I hope this answers your question.

They are not chewable....I've changed to Piping Rock vitamins (available on line from Piping Rock Vitamin site)...I've never purchased chewables. All I have gotten are either gel or powder inside. Have you done a search on line with "chewable" in the search line? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

They're actually small, less than an inch. I have a bigger dog that I give it to her before I feed her twice a day and she swallows it without even chewing. No issue with size or taste from her!

Mine seem to be a variety of sizes and thicknesses - my dogs are all small, so they last quite awhile, and eventually they chew the fat ones as well as the thinner ones.

my 2 yr old pit is an aggressive chewer and she hasn't destroyed it to the point that I had to throw it away.. they are small chew plugs, but I keep an eye if I see her paws down on the ball, which means she is in destroy mode :) Good luck !!!

I use them for longer than one night. I drop them in mouthwash each morning and use each one for about a week or so.

It depends on the dog really. I would say they are somewhere in between a snack and a rawhide chew. One of my dogs, a 60 lb husky/lab mix will eat one in like 5 minutes, while my older husky will take up to 15-30 minutes chewing through it. My dogs devour rawhide, but i think that has more to do with their eating habits. I only feed them twice a day and if left to their own devices would gorge themselves. When they go to other people houses they horde up all the rawhide and go to town on it.

My vet keeps them on the shelf unopened and I have always done the same. I have never looked for an expiration date, but unless your dog is very tiny he will eat one at least every other day. At that rate, they will disappear fairly quickly. For more precise information, you could call a local vet and ask them to look the chews up and relate the handling instructions to you.

My 75lb Lab/Pit ate his 1st few in a couple of hours. Each one/wk lasted him a bit longer. Now it lasts him the whole week. He needs to chew, but at almost 5 yrs old not so much. These chews clean his teeth better than any other chew on the market and he's never been sick from them. I love that he gets his 'chewing' done on a healthier product other than rawhide.

Miss Hilda, the expiration for the two that I have taken was 7 months from the month that I received them. I chew two a day so that only last a little over two months when I get 60 or 70. I really feel a lot better while taking them.

I buy these for two mini schnauzers, 15 & 18 lbs. The 15 lb. female goes through one of them in an hour. The 18 lb. male just chews one until the flavor goes away. From chewing, they become quite gummy and they aren't nearly as thick a chew as they used to be. Out of the 30 in the bag, maybe 10 are heavy duty chews like I want them to have and the other 20 are quite flimsy. I don't think I could recommend them for a larger dog and am not certain that I will even order again for our two little ones. Hope this helps.
