How long does it take for a dog to chew these? I mean, are they snacks meant to be eaten, or are they like rawhides that take a little longer?

My medium sized Labradoodle can eat one of these rawhide strips in 30 minutes or less. It's not a long lasting treat, just a snack.

My dog is known to chew through rawhides faster than most, but these do last him a while. He spends 10-15 mins chewing the bigger ones. There are a variety of sizes in the bag sometimes there are mini ones that only take him 5 mins so I just give him two of those. I've been happy with these...good price for how many you get.

They are not snacks, but not real thick rawhide either. My dog, a 35 pounder can chew through them in a few (usually five) minutes. These are great products and my dog loves them, but don't expect them to last as long a traditional, knotted rawhide. Of course my dog can eat through those in an hour or two as well.

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.

It's not a snack that he gobbles instantly. It takes my dog about 15-20 minutes.

They are snacks. My dog is a medium chewer (Standard Poodle, 75 lbs) and it takes her anywhere between 10-15 minutes, depending on the size. A heavy chewer will rip through them in probably 5-10 minutes.That being said, regardless of how long the dog chews them, they are a really great product that the dog really loves. I think it breaks up the monotony of my dog's longer lasting chew products.

I wanted to answer this older question just because my answer differs from the others. We have a very small dog and he can chew it for a few hours but it still lasts until I throw the remainder away or it could sit there for a few days but I opt to give him a fresh one. They are just the right thickness and are a long lasting and fantastic treat for him! They are definitely a rawhide and the best I have ever found anywhere.

They are not soft but they are much easier to chew than rawhide. My dog can finish one in about 3 minutes.

They are not soft but you can break them in half. My dog will only eat them in peanut butter or mixed in her food or in pill pockets.

I dont currently have a bag of these that I could tell you that. I use 6 chews a day post WLS so they never last longer than a month for me. Right now I am using Celebrate calcium chews just for variety

I think these treats would be difficult for her to chew.They are hard and she needs something soft.If you're looking for something soft try Wellness Wellbites.They come in different flavors and my dog likes them very much.Good luck!

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.

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.

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!

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!

These require chewing, I'd crush it up and put it in something they'd eat. It's not a bad taste, I tried one myself and they're definitely not bad.

They can be chewed in half eventually. It's not like one bite and pop. My dog generally creates a puncture then rips it open.

I can't recall the exact date because I sent them back and received a refund. The expiration dates were 5 months in the future and since we give our small dog 1/2 of one, the expire date would pass before they were done. I'm sure they would still be good but I'm sure they would be stale. I looked at the current reviews (look at the 1 star ones). It seems the company changed the chew to a "New" version and everyone said it was hard as a rock & the chews were stuck together. It sounds like the company is no longer shipping the "New" version and the old version is very good. Hope this helps. I can't recall the exact date because I sent them back and received a refund.

I would say Yes. My grown dog loves them too. But my neighbor just got a smaller dog (pup) and I actually gave them a bag, because I noticed that while I was holding it, he was constantly trying to chew on my hand with those little sharp teeth, so I thought a bag of those would be perfect for the puppy to chew on and not choke. But, as I have had many puppies and dogs, I always watch them when they are chewing on onesomething until they are finished. I never leave a pet alone with a chew bone.

They are chewable pills but are on the harder side. I can break them in half easily for my smaller dog but when my pups chew them you can hear a crunch so to me, they're on the harder side but if your doggy has trouble chewing them, you could easily just crush them into smaller pieces...

What color are they? I can't tell with this picture. The green ones really make a mess. Is there any color that gets on your dog when they chew it?

She's not like a "typical" dog that inhales her food. She enjoys each bite. She's 30 lbs. She probably takes 8-10 bites and takes time to chew each one. Dogs seem to like them and I'm almost tempted to taste it.

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!
