So I've read the medium sized ones are rather small, and best value are these large one. Is it possible for me to break this in half for my 16lb dog.

You would need a bone saw. Also, split antlers are easier to chew and break down and last less time. You can buy split or un split antlers.

Maybe you could saw them into two pieces. I do not think you could simply break them. Our 60-73 lb Airedales (we have four) were able to destroy this in minutes

You will NOT be able to break these. I order the large ones for my Labradoodle - it takes her a good 2 to 3 months to get this chewed down to the point that I took it away from her. She LOVES these.

I wouldn't think it's breakable. It might be too thick for a dog the size of yours as well. I purchased a medium one for a friend's 60 pound lab and it was a good size for him. My lab is over 80 pounds and the large one is the right thickness and sturdiness for her.

Not sure if it can be broke in half, never needed to even try... I think you might be able to saw it in half but it might splinter around the edges which might be unsafe for such a smaller dog. Large or small, honestly think it just depends on the overall quality of the rack they send. I've ordered large ones every time and I've got ones that my dog chews through in less then 2 weeks while some last up to 4 months. It's a bit of a gamble every time I order these.

The instructions say for under 40 pounds; however, if you have a tall, thin dog like mine, the weight is not the issue. I would recommend getting a medium if your dog is 16 inches or taller at the shoulder.

My dog is a toy, and is 5 lbs. She fits comfortably in it and can move around with ease. It is a good sturdy bag but while on vacation we could only hold her for a half an hour max before we had to trade off with someone else because she would get too heavy. I do not think a 16 lb dog would be comfortable in it or you would be comfortable holding it. I would look into getting something bigger. If you were planning on using it for air travel it would be too small for a 16 lb dog.

I got my 5lb Yorkie a small, but my 16lb Cairn cannot wear the medium, it was too big for him and the small was too small. I made him one myself. There is a little bit of "give" in the Small. You could try that on a 10# and if it doesn't fit send it back.

Sorry to be so long answering. I think you would need the large size. I see it is on sale now, so might be a good time to try it. Some people seemed to find it quite helpful. And I am sure as most dog lovers, we are willing to try anything to help our best friends!

Not sure either. But my smallish 50-pound Aussie is able to pick the larger one up with her mouth. (Not necessarily a good thing, since she's supposed to roll it around.) So the larger on would probably work. Fwiw, my dog loves this toy.

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!

Pieces come in different sizes - some of the thicker ones are harder to break apart - but I have had no problems with that - and my dog is able to break them up when she eats them. If is really hard - take a small hammer in the bag to break up the pieces for your dog. Hope that helps.

I got the large, and it is a good size for both of my dogs (55 lbs and 50 lbs). However, even though it is a good size for my smaller dog he seems to prefer carrying around the medium size better, but I think that is just his personal perseverance.

I have a 42lb Dalmatian. I got the extra small for her and it has room to spare. If I remember correctly she was right on the line too. I would put my money on the medium.

I bought the small one for my lab pup and it was perfect size, although I belibe there is one even smaller than the "small" sized one. Try the medium sized one, cause it won't matter so much the size as even if it is too big your dog will still be able to work on getting the treats out and can still chew on different ends of it.

I have the medium dog house and my 2 small dogs run in and out easily. They both fit into it together easily. The interior is spacious. I can't vouch for the large size dog house. I'd measure your Dog's height and width and compare that to the opening dimensions listed for the house. While you can return the dog house if it doesn't fit, that would be difficult to do. It comes in a very large box (well pkgd) and it is heavy!

I think that a medium or large dog could jump this gate, since it is only 18" tall. This gives it the 'walk-over " feature. Our dog is a 13-pound Bichon and it works well for him. But for a larger dog , you would probably do better with an open and close gate. It is easy to install, however. You just put the four large plastic knobs into pre-drilled holes on the sides and turn them until the desired fit us achieved. This gate is well made so if you can find an open and shut gate in the same brand, I would get that. Hope that helps.

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

The sizing is generous. Our 55 pounder is using a medium and there is ample harness left over after adjustment to fit. The excess is not a problem. As mentioned in another posting, the leftover makes a good close in leash if you are using a retractable lead. Your dogs would probably be fine in the small.

Yes, I did notice that the chews were much smaller in size. For a medium size dog, it should be bigger ... And the price has shot up.

I suggest the 5". There's no draw back to getting a larger one. The toy isn't made to be carried around by the dog, but rolled and pawed around. Its lightweight, even with food or treats, so there's no worry about the bigger one being too heavy. Like others said, the larger one would hold more and would have less of a chance of being lost under things. Go big! =)
