Rawhide Dog Treats | Healthy, Grass-Fed Buffalo Jerky Raw Hide Chews | Hickory Smoked Flavor | Jerky Braids, 5Count

I wanted something long-lasting but was wary of rawhide chews and the many problems people talk about with blocking a dog's digestive system.I got a few different chews to keep my mini dachshund busy, checking what keeps her occupied the longest, what she was most interested in, and what was safe for her. I got the braids and the twists, a single twist lasted less than 15 minutes with her and tended to break into larger pieces. One of these *braids* will last her hours, without breaking into large pieces, and she's been poopin' just fine. Granted it's only been a few days, and I'll update this if there are any issues, but it's looking good so far.I wouldn't recommend this for larger dogs. I think it only works well for her since she's small and can't rip it up in a matter of minutes.Others have complained about not enough jerky in the treat, but I think it's a perfectly small amount. She's not always interested in it but she'll pick it up when she's bored, which is perfect - she doesn't chow them down so they last longer, and she'll eat slowly to get to the small amounts of jerky, preventing her from eating giant chunks of the thing.I don't have any staining issues on the dog's fur or on the carpet/sheets from this product. (Note - read the 1-month update below)I'd put this at 5 stars if I knew for sure whether it was safe, so I'm just doing 4 stars for now and will update to a 5 star in a month if there are no issues.-- 1 MONTH LATER --No health problems after using this treat for a month! Keep in mind that my dog is properly chewing each piece she pulls off, so if your dog is an anxious/fast eater your mileage may vary. My dog does eat the whole thing, even the parts without jerky, at a nice slow pace.There are only two "issues" to mention after all this time:1. My dog's gotten more efficient at chewing these things up (though it still takes her at least an hour)2. The hide gets soft during chewing and sometimes small soft pieces will fall off, leaving a white residue wherever it was. Doesn't smell and isn't concerning in any way, just something to note if you let your dog bring chew it on your bed/couch/carpet. Residue on my sheets is easily cleaned by throwing them in the washing machine.Would definitely recommend for smaller dogs (under 40lb.) Larger dogs should probably look at getting something bigger which will last longer, and which they won't be able to fit in their mouth all at once. Five stars!

I have a Victorian Bulldog and he loves these Braids! I will keep purchasing!

My dogs love these braided chews! They finish the entire chew within 30 minutes, so they are not long-lasting. But, they are easily digested.

One of my two dogs is incredibly picky about his treats. It's hard to find something to give them at the same time that they both enjoy. However, they both really get excited for these. The treats do splinter some, and they are more crunchy than chewy. However, they don't make a mess or leave residue on our carpet. Plus, they have no detectable odor. They are not long-lasting though! My dogs each destroy & completely consume one in less than five minutes. I had hoped something that costs as much as these do would be more of a "project" and less of a quick snack.

My dogs love these! Buffalo Range makes a solid, healthy product for my dogs I cannot speak highly enough of these rawhide! Hours of enjoyment and great dental hygiene! I especially love the limited ingredients sans fillers and fake/unhealthy cheap additives. Bison are not fattened up and filled with additives the way beef or chicken are. It is also a leaner, healthier meat with typically higher nutritional value.My small dogs 20-25lbs) love to chew. They need to chew to keep their teeth and mouths healthy. This is in large part because dogs, large or small have the same number of teeth in their mouths. As you can imagine there is a lot more opportunity for poor dental health in smaller dogs because those teeth are so tightly compacted in their mouths. I love these larger sized Buffalo Range rawhide because my dogs are voracious chewers these larger size braids add longevity and I know it’s helping to keep things clean and healthy.Always keep an eye on your dog while chewing. Although these are safe you never know especially as the braids can come apart into smaller pieces posing potential risk for larger dogs to get stuck in roof of mouth or throat. I have never had an issue but I always give bones when I know I’ll be home and can keep an eye on my beloved pets. If I have to leave I store them for later and they’re happy to pick up where they left off!Also, make sure the water bowl is full. Chewing/gnawing stimulates saliva production which also contributes to overall oral health, breaking down and preventing plaque and buildup in their mouths. All the chewing and enjoyment they will get out of these durable bones will have them taking breaks to rehydrate.

I have two smaller 20-25 lb min schnauzers that are aggressive chewers. These do contain raw hide but my dogs chew up all of their food and treats into small pieces so these are still fine for them. Overall they last quite a while to keep them preoccupied!

So my 100+ pound Wolfhounds ate these in less than 2 minutes. They are dry and crunchy and do not require much chewing to be devoured. For the price, I had hoped that these would give my dogs a good teeth cleaning, but they are much too brittle for that purpose. I have purchased other rawhide type chews that lasted much longer, and for a lower price. Will not be buying these again.
