Generally, dogs can chew on these for 15 to 20 minutes. Some users report even 30 minutes of enjoyment, however the bulk order from last year was bad, and users complained alot
"He loved the gut sticks so I tried these. He is only 16 lbs. and these kept him very busy for more than 20 minutes [probably closer to 30 minutes]. He loved them so much he refused to put it down and just kept chewing until it was gone. I love that they are sourced and produced in the USA."
"All of a sudden they have changed - my giant dog can eat through one in 2 min. They are now hollow in the middle but chewy is asking the same price as if they are still a long chew which they no longer are; total wast of money"
Due to the decreased durability and potential safety risks, it's best to look for alternative bully sticks until Downtown Pet Supply addresses these quality control issues.
