"Survived and used about a year with 3 dogs all chewers. Worth the money. Low stinky factor."
"We have a PWD who is a chewer. He’s had a buffalo horn for several years and we thought it would be a treat to get a new one. NO! Both these bones were easily shredded by him. The result? He ended up throwing up several days."
Bottom Line
Check your dog's chewing habits before purchasing. For aggressive chewers, consider alternatives. For gentle chewers, it can be a durable, long-lasting toy. But always use outdoors due to noticeable odor.
