Jolly Barks Shin Dog Bones for Large Dogs | 11" Long Lasting Dog Chews | Savory Smoked Dog Bones for Aggressive Chewers (2 Pack)

Got these for my dogs to try. One is getting up there in age, chonky and food obsessed and my other dog is small/medium sized, really old and has increasing health problems but still lively and loves most food.Pros:-You get 3 decent sized Bones. The size of them are not monstrously big but not too small for a large dog.-Lasted for a few hours! Took my big chonky dog all day to eat most of the bone. He loves any type of treat or food but acted like this bone was crack but it still held up for the majority of the day.-Must be super flavorful! Both my large and small dog LOVED the flavor of this bone, My smaller dog has bad teeth but still tried to eat the meat stuff on the outside of the bone until I had to take it away from him and give him something else because it was far too tough for his teeth. But with my big dog however, after about 4 hours, he ate every single single scrap on the outside of the bone, but took the entire rest of the day for him to get at the inside and that seemed to also be very tasty to him too!-Kept dogs busy. It kept by big boy busy for pretty much the entire day trying to eat the inside and outside of the bone. It was a great distraction and they were very happy boys. My dogs don't really like playing with actual toys by themselves, so long lasting food related things keeps them entertained and busy.Cons:-Not for very old dogs with bad teeth. Looking at the bone in person it should be a no brainer but when I ordered it I thought there might be a chance my small older dog could enjoy it too. He tried his best to try to pull some of the meaty stuff of the side, but in the end, I had to take it away from him because I didn't want him trying to hard and hurting his fragile teeth.-Can be sharp. I cut my food on one of the bones in the middle of the night because I forgot to throw the scrap left of the bone away. The edge was sharp enough to draw blood.-Supervision is needed. Like with any real type bone and really enthusiastic eaters, bones can have a chance to be a hazard that some of the "artificial bones" or other bone like treats don't really have. Bones can fracture and your dog can choke. My big dog seemed to have no issue with any fragments if there were any (I didn't see anything myself either) but this isn't the type of thing I'd feel safe with leaving them 100% alone with. Not overly dangerous, Just need standard supervision. Doesn't need anymore than any other natural dog bone you see anywhere. And it is better than the type of really brittle and sharp fracture type cheap bones. So this bone is good quality in my experience!Overall, I will buy this again for my big boy, it was apparently VERY good. It was a good quality treat, not overly hazardous beyond standard expectations with ANY bone; and actually held up for a very long time! Can't remember the last time a bone lasted so long, not only with how long it took to devour it, but throughout the entire thing it still seemed to keep it's flavor and their attention. Most treats I get don't last longer than 5 minutes to an hour at best. They either loose their flavor and the dogs arn't interested anymore, or they aren't sturdy enough against their jaws to stand chance for longer than 5 minutes. So this bone was a real winner!

This bone was huge and I’m only giving it 4 stars because it’s easily damaged and breaks into pieces of dropped or mishandled during delivery. ALSO: be VERY AWARE of your dog’s digestive system because this gave my fiancés dog VERY BAD diarrhea and made him throw up after the fact. So for that reason I will not be purchasing again.

The only problem is that these bones LOOK large & sturdy, but they only last my Olde English Bulldogge about 2 hours of chewing before both ends fall off into small enough pieces to choke her if accidentally swallowed. They were brittle upon opening the package. But the flavor must be amazing, because my dog couldn't get enough of that bone!

Jolly ham bones, my dogs love these bones, but the bones can have a chance to be a hazard like some of the other bone like treats. Bones can fracture and your dog can choke. My dog midnight seemed to have no issue with any fragments if there were any ,but this isn't the type of thing I'd feel safe with leaving them 100% alone with. Not overly dangerous, Just need standard supervision. Doesn't need anymore than any other natural dog bone you see anywhere. And it is better than the type of really brittle and sharp fracture type cheap bones. And it gets really messy when they get done chewy it up, so it better to vacuum or sweep to make sure you get all those sharp bone fragment up, before you end up cutting your feet, otherwise I would recommend this product.....

Maybe it’s just my dog. He’s a husky, shepherd mix and he didn’t chew on it much, perhaps he didn’t like the flavor. he would carry the bone around the house and keep it with him. He’d stash it by the bed.

Recommend!

The bones have a terrible smell. Even the dog was leary at first!

I've learned that some behaviors are instinctual and more apparent in different breeds. These area great way to redirect that chewing behavior that dogs crave. Our dog is a chewer, so rather than loose any more shoes or allow for negative behaviors to develop that will require additional training, we prefer to redirect those instinctual behaviors to more appropriate outlets. Providing chew toys is an excellent option, but often are not hard enough or made of materials that we don't want our dog ingesting..These are perfect for the teething dog or habitual chewer. They are 100% natural so that is a huge benefit. It's hard to get good quality bone without preservatives. That being said, there is no funky fake beef odor They are essentially odor free. The package was heavy--almost 3 lbs. because these bones are solid! Not hollow bones that chip and get sharp. Each bone is individually wrapped so you can store them safely for an extended period of time and stay fresh.
