Are these hard as a rock like the Nylabones? My puppy will chew on those sometimes but I think she would like them better if they had some give to them.

They are more textured than Nylabones and they must be more flavorful since my dogs really don't care for the Nylabones but will search for the Benebones and enjoy chewing them without any encouragement from me.

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

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.

The Benebone is hard, with no give to it. But my dog loves it! Must be the bacon flavor and the shape of it.

No, I have a 7 month old lab and he has teeth marks on all ends and just loves it!

Its best for your pup that they are a hard surface. It keeps the teeth clean and aids in the eruption of the adult teeth.

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

I've noticed that they are firmer, yes, but my dog has no trouble chewing them up. Like the one previous answer, we too put just a small amount in a jar with a lid and open the bag only when the jar is empty. I have noticed that the treats will dry out if left open to the air for awhile. Because of my dog's food allergies, they are the only treat he can digest on the market right now so as long as he eats them, I have no complaints. He loves them.

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. :-)

These are very small heart shaped soft chews. A small dog would have no problem chewing them. My dog loves them

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

They are supposed to be hard as they are a dental treat. The chewing process helps them get the tartar off their teeth. If he can't chew them, he may have an issue with his teeth and/or gums.

I have given these types of bones to both my lab mixes since they were a little over a year old, and pieces do chip/break off. If they break a large piece off, I do throw that away so they don't risk choking on it. (I don't let them have the bones when I can't watch them). They have never had an upset tummy though from eating the bone chips. Not sure a puppy's digestive system can handle the bone though, so you may want to check with your vet to see if this type of chew treat is okay.

I have a yorkie and he loves them. However, for a heavy chewer, they'd probably be gone in one bite.

They aren't super hard, I bend them in half to break them. I have a 10 year old Chihuahua, and 2 Chihuahua mixes and they get them every morning. They love them. I hope that helps.

A puppy would be able to chew these depending on how large your dog is . Once these balls have a hole in them they can be flattened or crushed very easily.. They get their strength from being air ttight my 3 year old can easily crush these if he chews them for long enough . He has never been able to tear off any plastic they stay intact well after being crushed so I have never been scared of him choking on a small bit of plastic. I would say supervision would be required

They are thick and chewy. Since I did not hear my dog crunching on them, I would call them soft. I know it probably would not fly with your dog Ana.

I think so. My dog needs a bit of coaxing to start chewing on these. But once she starts she finishes it!

They're made of a hard plastic, your dog will not be able to chew on it. They have a hard time getting the treat out as it is...they're pretty sturdy, will last for yrs.

It depends on how old the puppy is and the puppy will need close supervision from choking. I have older dogs and they have no problem chewing them.

I've a 4 pound Pom whose 12 this year. Looks young and very healthy but lost jaw teeth to neglect before we met at the pound 5 years ago. Would these be easy for him to chew without too much discomfort?

I wouldn't leave the hard plastic toy in the crate...Kongs, filled and frozen, are better and nylabones are good too.
