Nature Gnaws Bully Stick Springs for Dogs 7-8" (6 Count) - Long Lasting for Aggressive Chewers - Natural Curly Beef Dog Chew Bones - Rawhide Free

Good stuff

The dogs love them but they don’t last very long.

Dog love:Dog loved them

Both of my dogs love these bully sticks. I started out buying the 5-6" ones and realized that they were going through them quickly. Also, my one dog gets down to the last two inches of it and then swallows it whole. I try to keep an eye on her because the last thing I need is her choking. The 11-12" sticks are the exact same as the 5-6" ones - just longer. I think they get more chew out of the longer ones (I'm not throwing away as many small pieces) and they are priced better than the 5-6" ones when you look at price/count. By the way, my dogs are 9 and 17 pounds, and they both go to town on the long ones. I just take them away when they are a little less than half done because I don't want them to overdo it.I recently bought another brand. I was wanting to see a couple of things: (1) what the size was of the other ones (they were both 11-12", but I was not sure how wide they were); and (2) whether they liked them and/or took them longer to eat. It's all about having a healthy treat at a reasonable price and, yes, these are expensive. So, here are the results of my experiment: (1) basically the same size; (2) they don't like them as much. I do periodically see them chewing on them (which is good because they were almost double the price - basically five bully sticks that were the same price as the Nature Gnaws package with ten). I guess I can look at it this way...since they are not eating the other ones, they are lasting longer. Haha. But that's not why be buy these things - for us to waste our money products they don't enjoy.I know some folks have commented that they stink. There is definitely a smell to them (as there was for the other brand), but it wasn't terrible. My dogs eat them in the house and they eat them outside. Doesn't bother me either way. I will say that sometimes when I take it away from them and put it on the bathroom counter and forget...I will be at the sink and think...what is that smell? Then I see the half-chewed bully stick. I just chuckle. It's not bad unless you are hyper-sensitive to smell. But then I can't imagine most dog owners are hyper-sensitive to smells because dogs can be...well...smelly!!! :)

We chose to buy these raw hide free chew sticks for our now two year old chi-mix and he loves them!They are braided and my dog has learned to get them apart into three separate strips in record time. So, for him, it's like he hit the jackpot! Three!But seriously, my dog loves these things. They keep him busy and are good for his dental health. They do have a slighlty gross smell when wet from dog saliva. I only know this because one was left right next to my face one morning while I was still in bed sleeping. I woke up wondering what that awful smell was! I give these an A++ and highly reccomend. Just don't get too close to a freshly chewed stick until it dries.

These are expensive enough without getting further ripped off on quality and quantity. Very disappointing. They are shorter, thinner, flimsier and all around poor quality. Shrinkflation at its finest.

Dog yelped in pain with this in his mouth. The springy design and sharp edges wreaked havoc in his mouth. Far too expensive of a mistake but glad my dog is safe now.

I have 2 dogs (Pomeranian and Shitzu ) 2 & 3 years old. My dogs go bananas for this brand. They are aggressive chewers and the thickness is perfect!I came across this brand cause Costco was selling a variety pack for $16 (pig ears, tendons, bully sticks). I seen both dogs loved the bulky sticks so much and I love it cause it is ALL NATURAL & NON TOXIC CHEMICAL FREE MADE IN THE USA.So important to research what we are feeding our dogs, their toys and treats.This brand by far is the best and absolutely understand why people are complaining about price. It’s QUALITY and peace of mind that I know my dogs are receiving THE BEST nutritional treat.I only buy the best for my dogs we only have a short time together so they are like my human kids.Fresh clean water everyday to pair with their treats. They can spend an hour just chewing which exercises their mouth and scrubs their teeth naturally.So thankful I came across this product
