It has to be made very clear that these are NOT a replacement for a bully stick. I know others have said this, but I don't think it can't be said enough. First as background, what I have been buying is a 12 pack of Cadet 12" Bully Sticks through Costco and cutting them in half to make 6'' sticks. It was the best price I could find, making each stick about .70 cents each. Now, after reliably having them for many years, Costco seems to have stopped stocking them, starting my search for a replacement. But, after much hunting around, I can't seem find a decent looking bully stick for under $2. So when I came across these reasonably priced sticks, I decided to try them out. I realize that I am comparing these sticks to a bully stick, but since that is the main kind of chew I have had experience with, that's all I think I can do. I had read the other reviews, so I was not surprised when these sticks came and were so much thinner than the bully sticks I have been buying. What did disappoint me, was how light weight they were. Or not dense. Which ever term is best to describe the problem. Some of them, as you can see in the pic, have holes in the middle of them. Since this package is measured by number of sticks, and not weight, I guess I should not be surprised. Before you buy these understand that they are: 1. Not round, they are flat in shape 2. Compared to bully sticks, they are very light weight 3. Most of them are only 1/4'' wide, the widest being just over 1/2''. If you have a dog that is even just a moderate chewer, these sticks are just a treat, not a chew. They won't last more than couple of min. My dog (a small dog), is used to chewing through dense round bully sticks that were at least 1/2'' thick. He chews and swallows these esophagus sticks in a little over 2 min (not exaggerating I timed him!). The bully sticks used to take him an hour or a half an hour (depending on how thick they were). As part of our routine, I always give my dog a chew at night. Now, when I give him this stick and he finishes it, he comes up to me and just stares at me. He is clearly asking "Where is the rest of it?". I give these sticks a four star, because if you know all the facts about them, and it's all fine with you, then these sticks are good. They are digestible and they don't smell quite as bad as bully sticks. For me I don't think they are going to work, and I am going to keep looking.

My Chihuahua likes them well enough they just don't last very long.

Terrible smell and crumbles, making a mess. Pet likes it though.

Perfect for my 5lb chihuahua! She loves them! I noticed that her breath has improved since she has been getting them as a treat. She gets so excited for her “chewy”! My only question is are they made in USA?
