Are these easy to split in half? I have dogs of varying sizes and would rather not buy 3 different sized chews, especially since this is a test run.

You might be able to with a pair of sturdy scissors--I've never tried to split them.

I used some sharp scissors and didn't have too much of a problem. They are tough, but they are good for my little ones. I did buy the larger size so I couild split them for the same reason you stated. I think you will be pleased with them.

Hi. Just grabbed one to try and I couldn't do it. It doesn't snap and I bent it back and forth several times with no luck. I'm sure it would work at some point but it would not be easy.

I buy the X-Large (which are only about $5.00 more compared to the Large) for my 3 Aussies & cut them in half to get twice as much for my money. I use pruning shears to cut them. Some of the thick ones are hard but otherwise it is easy.

Not easy go split. They do average in size --I'd say from 3-5 inches long (few times 6+), but about 1-2 inches wide. They are hard, definitely couldn't be cut w/standard knife or scissors --- perhaps with a heavy duty power tool type of scissor or saw, but I wouldn't recommend it. My dog is less than 40lbs -- these are the ones he had at the rescue before we adopted him and I think they're perfect. He LOVES them and they keep him busy for up to 20 mins at a time. He only gets maybe 2-3 per week.

Yes I cut some of them mine in half for my Yorkie and leave some full size for my larger dog. I use pruning clippers or my meat knife to cut them in two.

Hi thereDon't think you can unless you have a very sharp knife as they are raw hide. My dog loves them and they are great for keeping his teeth clean. Hope this helps.

I have an 80 pound greyhound. I give him half at a time. He finishes it within a minute or two. He does love them!

Yes. They are. I have also cut them for smaller dogs. I get the large breed one and portion them accordingly as I have multiple dogs....

So far, I haven't found a pill I couldn't split. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I take 28 pills a day (!) and two of them that are quite small have to be split. The rest are larger but I take them whole. 1/8 of an inch should be no problem at all.

it splits in the middle easy. my dog has not gone through it by her self yet.but she is a wolf dog and does not like something new. but I am sure she will.

They are about 7 inches long and about 1.5 inches on each side. It is a harder material so I don't think it would be easy to split it into 2 pieces. I know they make smaller ones. We give it to our 125lb saint bernard. We only let her have it for about 25 minutes at a time otherwise she would finish the whole thing in one sitting. Giving it to her about 25 minutes, we generally can give it to her about 8 times before it is too small for her and we have to throw it away. Our dog does have a sensitive digestive track and she only has problems if we let her finish more than half the bone at once (she ended up with some loose stoll, that is about it though)

My dogs are able to just swallow them. I would highly recommend these. One dog is 80 pounds and one is about 100 pounds and the third that has had some is about 15 pounds. I hope this is of help to you.

Not sure if it can be broke in half, never needed to even try... I think you might be able to saw it in half but it might splinter around the edges which might be unsafe for such a smaller dog. Large or small, honestly think it just depends on the overall quality of the rack they send. I've ordered large ones every time and I've got ones that my dog chews through in less then 2 weeks while some last up to 4 months. It's a bit of a gamble every time I order these.

I have not had a problem with breaking them up..some are very large but I have not run across very many thick ones that need breaking...luck of the draw? I would use a tenderizing hammer to break them up. But all in all the dogs really love them. Good luck

the answer to both of your questions is," yes" very easy to break in half. my girls love them

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 adult Bichon can chew one up in less than a half hour. I don't buy them anymore because I don't want her to eat them so fast. Our pet supply store sells bully sticks that last a lot longer but are more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for!

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

they are crunchier than a greenie's pill pocket. They are pretty easy to crush, but they are definitely dry. I don't know if your dog can crunch anything without teeth. They are probably the consistency of a trisquit cracker (for people).

I have three 15# doxies and I cut these soft chews in half; giving each dog a half every day. You may need to cut in quarters for your 10# furbaby.

I have been able to separate them, though it isn't always easy. I use the tip of a screwdriver and pliers to push through the spaces in-between while holding onto one of the pieces. Then moving the screwdriver up and down or side to side, I can pull them apart. This allows each of my three dogs to have a small stick of their own. And, it saves money since I don't have to buy a complete stick for each dog. So it lasts longer too.

I think it depends on the size of your dog. These are pliable and you can break apart and mold around two pills, if not able to fit into one. I have a papillon and the capsule size is too big for her to get in one bite, so I break things up. Note: the Peanutbutter are the WORST for pliability. We stick with the chicken flavor, as they're the softest.
