Are these chews soft or hard? A reviewer said s/he cuts large chews in half. I previously had similar chews. They were rock-hard. Could not cut.

These chews are hard. It takes my doggies quite a while to chew one up. Eventually they get soft and gooey so if they get on your couch or bed it can cause a bit of a mess! I don't think they'd cut easily either. They aren't super large but even my Chi enjoys chewing on them. :-)

They are hard, but flexible and thin enough to cut up with kitchen shears. They are about 3" sq.

They are hard but not in a way that you can snap them. They will bend but will not break. I made a mistake when I got these particular ones.

They are various sizes and thicknesses; you could probably cut some with a good pair of scissors but certainly with a good pair of kitchen shears. Why get the large ones and cut them in half when they come in smaller sizes as well? My dog loves them and has not had to have a dental cleaning. I will continue to buy them!

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.

I would purchase the medium size which I do for my 15 lb schnauzer. There are a few chews in the pack which are large, but they are so hard I am unable to cut them. So I put them aside for a friend's boxer.I also never give my dog a chew unless I am able to keep an eye on her.

These supplements are not soft and chewy. They are hard like a... sweet tart candy. These supplements are round and a little smaller than a quarter. They can be crushed into a powder. My dog can be a little picky but he loved these and ate them with no problem like they were treats.

They are very hard, with just slightly more give that Nylabones. I'm very happy with them because they dent just very slightly, instead of tiny plastic pieces coming off in the gums like Nylabones.

I haven't had a problem with them being hard or stuck together. I cut them to give my Cavalier Spaniel half a chew per day and have no difficulty. The newest bag wasn't any different than previous ones. The date code on my bag is 04/2016.

I have a Tibetan Terrier (20 lbs) she went through the large bone in about five minutes. Way too soft for a chew bone.

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 hard, but very easy to chew. I have a lazy eater and he loves them. I know the gummies would be awesome, but they would just not work with these since they are made from real WHOLE food, as opposed to synthetic vitamins.

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.

I'd say they're mostly just chewy. Not too hard or soft. If you put them in liquid (I like to make overnight oats and put these in) then they will get very soft.

It is hard but not as hard to chew as a flint stone vitamin would be...although it probably has been 20yrs since I've had one of them. At any rate my 2yr old chews them up fine.

The chews are big, and even if you break them in half they are still pretty big for a small dog. It's not easy to cut them into smaller pieces, although we do cut them to make them last longer--my husband uses heavy kitchen scissors but it is still difficult because it takes some strength. A half chew may be OK for a medium or even small dog, but for a very small dog I'm not sure it would work unless you cut into small pieces.

They are about 1/2 inch in diameter and are scored in half. They are not soft like a pupperoni but not real hard either. I have a miniature poodle and she manages a whole one quite easily. She is almost 13 years old. I decided rather than mess with cutting them in half, I give her one whole one on even days only. I hope this is helpful.

They are pretty big but they are scored so you could cut them in half, they aren't soft, kind of hard.. My German shepherd ate them okay at first but lately she licks the peanut butter off and leaves them behind.

If the teeth were pulled recently, I would say "no" for sure. If it has been awhile, these are pliable compared to others we have tried with our senior dogs so your dog might do fine. I would, as someone else suggested, buy one of the smaller packs to start with since some dogs are picky (mine) and won't chew just anything.

I have found most of them to be on the hard side. My dogs like them that way also and they have no trouble eating these.
