Are these large enough for pit bulls? I want them to be able to chew on them for a little while, they all weigh 80 lbs.

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.

Hi , it takes my boxer (75 lb) about 20 min but it does work for his teeth !

My 60lb lab takes 15 to 20 min to devour one. She loves them from what she tells me

tThey come in different sizes be sure to get the xtra large ones and they should be OK.

My pit mix down them in less than 5 minutes and I had to watch him he'd choke on them. I used up what I had but will never buy them again. They are small way too pricey and a chocking hazard. My dog chocked on everyone of them he'd gag em up and get them out but I had to watch him closely.

My dogs are about 50 lbs and it takes them about 20 mins, too. I agree with the other response...to carefully supervise your dog with these. One of mine gulps it down to fast and gags often. I still give them to the dogs every once in a while because they love them, I just don't leave them unattended.

Good question. To be honest they are quite large, but they do vary alot in thickness.....some are really thick and take ages to chew others are much thinner and take less time. Also depends how your dogs work on them....I have one that is slower on the thin ones as you expect, but my other takes more time over the thinner ones....

I would get the X-Large for an 80 lb dog. My 32lb dog chews them quickly because they are soft and thin. They do help to keep the dogs teeth clean.

They dont make them for over 74 lbs and actually the box warns not to give them to a dog over 74lbs because gulping down any portion of this treat may be harmful. So apparently us large breed owners will have to brush our large dogs teeth. larger dogs will eat thses in seconds thus negating any "brushing" effect

Depending on how much your dog chews it can vary. I have a Collie and an American Pit Bull Terrier. Both are moderate chewers. I get one that they share and it lasts them 2-3 weeks until it's small enough that I don't want them chewing it anymore because they get too small for their mouths.

I use the small bull sticks for my dogs also that are only 4-5 pounds and they are better than the real long ones. The dogs absolutely love these as a treat.

Wow, I don't really know the answer to that. If your pit was not trying to get out - then yes. It has been more than sturdy enough for my two, but they aren't pit bulls! Sorry I can't be of more help -

I have a yorkie and he loves them. However, for a heavy chewer, they'd probably be gone in one bite.

Oh please, c'mon...uh, sure! Just douse your two-year-old in chum and stuff 'em in there--your pit bull will get in there, no problem. Just make sure junior's arms aren't sticking out, pittie might chew 'em off and just stop there.

Hi Patsy, My Tiki is a voracious chewer. He is a German Shepard mix and has a really strong bite. Every dog will have a little different experience with this toy but I would wholeheartedly endorse this toy for your dog. Simply order the largest size BLACK BALL that they offer. Eventually your Pit will win but Ours lasts around THREE MONTHS. Failing that a small car tire might work well :o}. ( I had a Great Dane that played with old tires from a 60's era VW BEETLE)

Not in my opinion. My dog is a 10 year old 40 pound border collie and they are fine for him. He doesn't like solid rawhide, so he won't eat the ones labeled for his size. They really do help his breath - better and much less expensive than Greenies. I also give him the small (5" long, 1/4" diameter) regular granulated munchy sticks and his teeth are in great shape!

I wouldn't worry too much as they take a while to break down my pug had one for a good two wks and that's chewing daily. If you're worried about weight try antler chews they are rock hard and so good for them , but they'll take years to make a dent in !

My vet won't put these in her kennel because she said there are some dogs that can chew them, but my dogs haven't tried. I bought a large for my 50 lb lab and it fits him perfectly.

I have used these leashes for several years now. They hold up very well and the lock will stop them in their tracks, just make sure you are holding on to the leash tightly (I'm sure you know this). We use it on a 80 lb GS mix and a 65 lb Pitt Bull with no problems at all.Hope this helps you.

I have a dog with one of the most powerful jaws there is. To give an idea, a pit bull bite is rated around 250PSI. My dogs is about three times that. Almost nothing I give her lasts more then a few days. A very few things might last a month at best. These last 3-4 months IF and ONLY IF they are DEER antlers. Moose or Elk don't last... gone in a fraction of the time. The only other thing that can outlast that around here is a Kong ball (and ONLY the ball... any other shape and it's toast).

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha

Yes, they are fairly small but my Pit (60 pounds) ate it just fine & it helped almost eliminate the lethal gas she was having !!

Get one you won't be sorry! Mine says up to 60lbs. I have two dogs one is 42lbs and the other is a pup 20 lbs and they run across these like mad and play on them when they aren't sacked out on them. They haven't ruined them yet well minus the puppy trying to eat the edges :)

They are on the small size...a little smaller than a dime in diameter...I have 4 big dogs...75lbs+ each and they eat it up!! =)
