How hard are these chews? My dog had some teeth removed and the vet said no more bully sticks or bones.

They are a tendon so they require some gnawing to break down. It's similar to a bully stick but not as hard. Perhaps you should try Great Dog's all natural beef scappy snacks or bison scappy snacks. It's cartilage and wouldn't be as hard as achilles tendons. If you have a small dog, a bag of Happy Joints might be better (bison scappy snacks but cut into pieces). Hope that helps!

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 hard, but not as hard as a raw hide. My 10 year old carries it around for awhile, and then eats it in one sitting.

Yes I would think they would be fine. Bully sticks soften up as a dog chews on them. My dogs eventually eat the whole stick. I would just make sure that, since your dog is a puppy, you really monitor him/her closely as they are chewing the bully stick.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question because my dog, a Chihuhua, did not tolerate them at ALL on her feet. She never made it out of the house with them. They became her chew toys, lol.

Our older dog who has lost most of his teeth still trys to gum them so to speak but I would get something a little softer since they are hard!

They are hard like a nylabone. I know my dog is able to break it down really slowly and get a bit here and there, but it doesn't have any softness

Not sure, but I will not buy again. They are nothing like the bully sticks I have purchased previously. Very, very thin my pup chews them in a matter of minutes, normally should satisfy her for a much longer time. Do not recommend.

Sorry, no idea. We haven't bought bully sticks in a few years. Our Boxer loved chewing on them when he was a puppy, but they were upsetting his stomach, so we're not buying them anymore.

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.

Do not know! These chews are wonderful! Not easy for a dog to gulp. They are very hard so that to me freezing would not be necessary, and might change the taste! My dogs, LOVE these better than any chews, and I feel that they keep their teeth free from dental problems.

They are soft and chewy for my old girl Ling Ling I break them in half. Ling Ling is missing a few teeth. My youngster at 5yrs Merlin gets 5 pcs am and 5 pcs pm he has weak hip bone.

I have a 115 lb. American Bull Dog who is a fairly aggressive chewer and these work great for him. He has had them for more than 2mo. and has only chewed down the very end of the bone.

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.

I have a German Shepherd and 20 minutes is about the most any of these chews last. She loves them though........

They aren't soft but not extremely hard either. Sometimes I split them in half when giving multiple treats and they break easily so it could be something you could crumble up for your puppy. I hope that helps.

My 75lb Lab/Pit ate his 1st few in a couple of hours. Each one/wk lasted him a bit longer. Now it lasts him the whole week. He needs to chew, but at almost 5 yrs old not so much. These chews clean his teeth better than any other chew on the market and he's never been sick from them. I love that he gets his 'chewing' done on a healthier product other than rawhide.
