Nature Gnaws Beef Tendons for Dogs (8oz) - Mixed Thickness - Long Lasting for Small and Medium Dogs - Natural Beef Jerky Dog Chew Bones - Rawhide Free

My dog loves these. I love that there's only one ingredient on the list. There aren't any "extras" prone to making my dog sick. It works great as a high value treat; we use it as a reward for longer puzzle and scent games. It's convenient and easy to give, and highly enjoyed.Speaking to the other reviewers' comments:* I purchased the 8oz bag, not the 1lb bag, and can only speak to the size in the smaller bag, which I would describe as 'adequate'. These are tendons, which means they're going to come in slightly different shapes/sizes as different tendons in any animal differ. They aren't overly processed, so they aren't going to come in the cute cookie cutter identically sized shapes you might be used to from other suppliers. You can see that from the bag, though.* Choking: my dog is fine. He's a 50-55lb GSD mix. Larger pieces actually encourage your dog to chew more, and the pieces that I've found (8oz bag, granted, which are supposedly a bit bigger) have been appropriately sized. Now, some dogs are simply gulpers by nature. You should supervise anything you give to your dog, especially if you think he'll gulp it on down. I'd use extra caution for bigger dogs, or inexperienced puppies. You can also teach/train a gulper to chew their food. The bigger the piece, the safer it actually is.* The smell: my dog loves it! It isn't appetizing to me as a human, but it shouldn't be. It's a tendon, right? I don't want to eat that. My dog does. I'm sure it'd smell much more appetizing if it were less appetizing and also more harmful to my dog, ie, if it had a longer ingredient list and was less healthy for him. This treat's for him and him alone, so I definitely prefer it be the way he prefers it. All that being said, I don't find it particularly gross or overpowering.The worst part of this bag is the price. I haven't dared buy the 1lb bag given the comments here, but would appreciate an option to buy them cheaper in bulk (with the same size) and therefore feed more frequently. As such, it's something I buy and feed on occasion as a higher value treat. I'll keep buying more as is.

I have a 12lbs dog so it takes her about 20-30min to eat one so it’s good treat for her. She’s not obsessed aboit it as she is about turkey tendons from this brand. Nonetheless she does like these a lot

My dog also loves these bones but gets them wet and swallows them whole which is what I was trying to avoid. So she can have one and then it goes away at a certain point. Awww that’s sad but she’s ok with that! So I would say these bones are a big hit.

Keeps a teacup chihuahua busy for days.

We have been buying these regularly for a while now. Our dog loves them and goes crazy for them. However, the last 3 bags we have gotten have been bad and getting worse. The first issue was a bag that looked normal but had one very thick large tendon that looked like several fused together. We thought the dog would love it. It was inedible for him he couldn’t even chew it and quickly gave up. We threw it away and ordered a new bag. That bag arrived with two normal tendons and the rest all looked like the inedible one, but thinner (sort of like a pigs ear size/shape). We thought it being thinner he might be able to eat that one. We very quickly realized it was just splintering off into very sharp bits and we took it away.Amazon replaced that bag when we let them know, but the replacement bag was the final straw. There are almost no regular tendons in the bag. I’d say maybe one? The rest are all tiny little, what almost look like scraps and end pieces they couldn’t use elsewhere. They are horrible. We fortunately have a very little guy, and even though he wasn’t interested in the scrap pieces, they weren’t harmful looking for him. If I had a large dog and they sent me what amount to basically a bag of choking hazards… I would be livid.Anyways these are a really good product when they are. And sometimes you get three bad bags in a row. But that’s it for us. We won’t be buying this brand again unfortunately.

Uuuuummm????? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TENDONS??? The sizes are incredibly small!! One is the size of my pinky! And they have the “y” shape to them! Just a single stick! What the heck?? I loved buying their tendons because they were not extremely long lasting but somewhat long lasting. Now my dog could just swallow the tendon in 1 minute! I am so upset! And the smell has seem to gotten worse…. For sticks that small why did the smell worsen??

These beef tendons are large enough to keep my dog occupied long enough for me to clip his nails and shave his paws. Without the tendon to chew, my dog tries to help me by grabbing the clippers. These are a blessing for my dog grooming tasks and, he loves them.

My picker dog loves these bones, great for her chewing.
