One more question, are these non splintering bones?

These are the only bones I will allow my dogs to have. They can't splinter. The only problem I've had with them is the dried fat, and that was with just one out of three dogs. It was just too rich for him when he was a puppy and he would get an upset stomach. I started letting my Dalmatian chew some of the good stuff off and then would give it to the little one. Problem solved. Of course, being a Chihuahua, he would get all three and line them up to guard - perhaps it was the quantity he was getting.

They do not splinter. Each of my 3 dogs get one everyday. The dogs are small, medium and large in size. They chew on them throughout the entire day.

I have no additional information, just that they are a meaty bone knee joint of beef.

I think they are. I haven't used them for that purpose, but they are tight enough to hurt if you pinch your little finger tip with them. (Other fingers were too big to test. Hope you appreciate my willingness to suffer!)

They are stiff. I don't know if they are the same as those you are familiar with though. They do not snap together, so beware!

They are heavier than tennis balls, but I wouldn't say they could chip a tooth.

No--they are holding up great. Very heavy pieces, don't bend--loving them. Should last a lifetime if you don't lose them.

yes they are. Be careful not to use metal utensils in them, to keep from scratching. I love them.

No--they are solid. This is not a lightweight cheapie set of cutlery. They are well made and nicely designed. Use mine daily. Oneida means quality!

not sure if they are, but i can crack them with my hands. By pressing two together. I bought them to feed my pet Squirrel from out in the yard. She and I love them

They are not soft, but they are not rock hard. I am able to break it apart with my fingers into small chunks for my 16 lb dog.

They are not really chrunchy as in milkbone crunchy. They aren't soft as in cake soft, I would say somewhere in between. If you break them apart, they would crumble a bit.

They can be cut, they are not made of some super material. However, you would need to be careful and cut cleanly so that you don't leave splinters that can pull apart. Because these are plastic, you won't be increasing the chance of rot. I have not actually tried cutting them.

Yes, but I recommend chopping them into small pieces and never use the joints. Grind them through several times with meat in small batches and be sure to go through each batch for shards. Chicken bone splinters pretty easily and you sure don't want that in your pet food. I bought this grinder for the same reason and if you use it carefully and get the hang of it, it's an excellent machine. I was surprised by the power and quality of it for the price. I am still happy with my purchase.

They are not rounded, but I wouldn't say they are sharp. Hard to describe, because I want to say they are a sharp corner that has been smoothed over. So, yes, smooth, yet not rounded. Hope that makes sense. :) You won't scratch your arm on the edges.

No, mine are still sharp and in good condition. I am happy with my purchase.

They have a point, but not a really sharp point. They do not appear to me to be scalloped.

Ours seems to be sanded very well. It's smooth and we haven't noticed any splinters. It's still expensive for what you're getting though.

It seems like porcelain to me... Bone China has a certain translucence that I don't think these have. I don't know for sure, but it seems like typical ceramic/porcelain to me.
