I have been buying this for awhile and this last bag all the chips were so thick that the dogs don't even want them. Why the change in size?

I ordered my first bag about 6 weeks ago and plan to order many more. The bag I received had various sizes both thick and thin. Either way both of my gentle giants absolutely love them!

This last bag I purchased was better than the first. The first bag had chips too thick and now much thinner. I will use scissors to make a couple cuts and these seem to satisfy my dog.

I haven't had that problem. In the bag of chips I bought (for the first time) a few weeks ago the pieces varied somewhat, but none were so thick that my two golden retrievers didn't like them very much. In fact they like them so much that I intend to order another bag when this supply is depleted.

Mine seem to be a variety of sizes and thicknesses - my dogs are all small, so they last quite awhile, and eventually they chew the fat ones as well as the thinner ones.

I've noticed they are a bit larger. I have two large breed dogs and they love them. I have a mini schnauzer and she doesn't care for them.

Not my experience. I received a bag of primarily thin ones. My chewers gulped them down, so that was my first and last bag. There's also a 1-star reviewer stating they were square and too thick. When did you order your last bag? Were they all primarily square or various sizes? If I could get a bag of thick ones, I'd start buying these again.

In the beginning they were great strips of rawhides.... and then the last bag i got were square pieces 2 stuck together...Had to spend my time trying to pull those apart so my golden retriever would eat them. I haven't purchased the bag since then worried I'd get the same problem of too thick. Price had also gone up almost $5... but I see they are back down.

Totally agree. Used to love this bag of chips, but they are mostly super thick now and 2 seem to be stuck together and I have to spend time and effort to pry them apart. I wouldn't mind, but some can't be preyed apart. Not sure whether to try again or not..... Please bring back the thin chips!

We buy a bag every week and have never found the food to be anywhere near the expiration date. Actually, it is fresher than buying at my local pet supply store.

My recent shipment did have smaller chips but my two dogs (90 pound Doberman and 60 pound Mixed Breed) seem to enjoy them just as well as my previous orders.

I think they have added chlorhexidine, which kills plaque bacteria, but I would stay away from the premium ones. They used to be larger and thicker. now they are smaller and thin to the point that my dog swallows them whole after a couple of chews. I returned my last order because I was afraid my dog would choke

Thank you for posting this. I didn't know that this was happening so I checked with the company. They did, indeed, confirm that they are switching to chicken byproduct meal, although they insist that they are using only "clean" byproducts. I do not wish my dogs to eat any byproducts at all so I will not be using this dog food any more. It's a shame that they feel they need to cheapen their great product to make more money.

been a good while since i had it. I didn't use it much honestly. It got rusty so bad in a short time that I just threw it away . I just went back using the old conventional put chips in some aluminum foil.There are other one out there but i haven't tried them.

Same thing happened to me and I never did get an answer as to WHY? But, I still like the bags and use them frequently. Keep trying to buy them local, but no luck so far.

Yes, this product HAS changed. The new bags no longer say GMO FREE. I've been feeding this for the past year with great success, and the last bag made my dog have ongoing diarehia, and after taking her to the vet, we finally discovered what was wrong. The ingredients have CHANGED. If you contact the company, you will most likely get a lot of double talk like i and my other dog friends did. They say it hasn't changed, but many people are reporting issues with it. :(

I ordered the large size for my golden retriever not too long ago and paid about $13. Why has the price increased so much? I can purchase these at my vets for much less than $23! Unreal

Don't know how long a bag is good for & I don't use it anymore because we now have 3 German shepherds who eat something else.

I've ordered this multiple times in the past, and I've always received a 25lb bag. The 4lb bag is a lot cheaper, so if for some reason you would get that, just contact Amazon and they should fix the problem.

They are chips. My dogs love them, and as they are $12.99 for a one pound bag in stores here, this is a bargain I couldn't resist...over and over again.

I have purchased MANY bags of the XLarge from both the vets office and Amazon and tho some may be thinner than the others and some more curled....they are all X Large sized/

The design of the packaging has been changing. Maybe they are tired of paying the dog models. I would still like to know what HC stands for but it looks like it will eventually leave the design all together. I don't believe that the ingredients have changed. I have one dog that would like paint off the floor if it was wet, but the other dog is more choosy so I'm pretty sure it's the same formula.

I have been trying to find out too. The bag saysthat they are cooked via a special vacum process. I have no idea what that is. They don't tast like they are fried. I think the chips are cooked guickly to keep their color.

As on now, the end of 2015, Costco did bring these back, put on sale, I assume to dump the inventory from the pressure. I bought 4 bags and was now looking for more. My dogs love them and have had no 'effects'. Come to find COstco has now replaced them with a Cadet Branded "Duck Jerky" which is compressed bits into an ear shape with a "Product of Germany" mark, but probably MADE in China, but gets Costco out of the sights of complaints. They are quite different, soft and just break apart, definitely NOT "Jerky", for you could gum them instead of chew. Looking for alternative, but at $33 that is a bit rich As on now, the end of 2015, Costco did bring these back, put on sale, I assume to dump the inventory from the pressure.

I'm sorry Bernice but I don't know. These chips were eaten long ago and I no longer have the bags to check.
