Nora is not a big chewer, but she will always put in a good 30 minutes on one of these, and she doesn't even finish it.

They are expensive, but she can have 3 or 4 good sessions of chewing on it before it's too small and we toss away the end.

Some of them smell more than others--not sure why?

Pros: lasts longer than rawhide

Cons: stinky, slight "gross" factor, HIGH price

If the cost is stopping you from trying these, you can also get ones that are like 3 feet long. I recommend buying one and chopping it into smaller portions (you might need a meat cleaver).

Pros: Semi-durable, great for chewers

Cons: Expense

These are always fun for my chocolate Lab and actually last awhile. They're reasonably priced and 'though I have to go to Asheville to get them, it's a great occasional treat. Probably if she ate them on a regular basis, they would be less appealing.

Pros: always a hit with the big dog

Cons: not available in my grocery store

These are great bully sticks! Not all bully sticks are equal. I'll do almost anything for my dog, but the stink of some bully sticks was more than I could handle. My dog goes crazy for bully sticks and these give him hours of odor-free enjoyment!

Pros: Odor free, my dog loves them

Cons: Expensive, but worth it.

My dogs love these sticks. They play with them and then chew them up. They are very good for puppies to work out those baby teeth and to chew up something appropriate. Give them to my dog as frequently as possible. Like to keep them in stock!

Pros: Good for training

Cons: Expensive
