My dog has chewed on these her whole life. These rib bones used to be harder and would last for months/years. But now my frenchie can chew off large chunks very easily. I think the brand has changed where the source the bones from. Maybe they are younger cows than they used to be so the bones are not as strong?

I bought The Good Lovin' Hickory Smoked Beef Rib Bone Dog Chews for my dog because it said moderate chewers and I wanted her to have a natural way to clean her teeth. This is what she picked out so I decided it would be a good size for her because bones we have gotten in the past were to big and she is awkward about chewing on bigger bones or just won't chew them at all. After we got home I took the bone out of the package checked the bone to make sure there were no visible breaks or sharp ends like I always do with her bones to ensure they are safe for her to chew on. Im not joking when I say these bones are a danger and deadly to your dog after I gave her the bone she started chewing on it with my supervision after 10 seconds I heard multiple breaks so I took the bone away and inspected it immediately then I noticed that this bone had broken in half and was splintered and had sharp edges. She had swallowed peices of the bone! Don't ever buy these for your dog im appalled the Petco even puts these on their shelves and willing sells them to their customers. I also went onto petcos website and saw numerous reviews about these being dangerous and not okay for dogs to chew on I also saw that people had to take their dogs to the ER because of these of course after the damage was done!!!! They are aware of the danger these bones cause so why are they still being sold?

Horrible and dangerous. It breaks into splinters, which could get stuck in their throat or rip their intestines. I have a black labe, and a huge part splintered off and was very sharp. I cant believe they even sell them. I hope my dog didnt swallow any sharp peices before i saw it splinterimg.

Brought this bone today, gave it to my one year old dog, he’s a heavy chewer, took him about 15 min to completely eat the bone and leave only about 3/4 of it, I was watching him even closer for the end part of the bone because it is a smaller piece and I usually hold it for him because it is slippery, a couple seconds in I notice that the bone is very brittle and there’s pieces of sharp bone breaking off of it, It’s very scary to see and it’s only been 30 min since he ate the bone (I ended up throwing the end part away) and he has not thrown up yet but I’m scared that he might’ve swallowed some sharp bits or something. I do not recommend for a heavy chewer or any dog. He went through it very fast and it has sharp bones coming off of it.

These ribs are dangerous. I can't believe Petco even sells them. I gave them to my two pomapoos and the boy chewed on his all day until I noticed there were sharp pieces laying all over the floor. I flipped out and cleaned them all up and threw bones away. That night my Ralfie started throwing up after he ate and again the next day. Took him to the vet and they did an x-ray. There were little pieces of something in his stomach. Since he didn't have anything to eat but that rib and the meal he threw up, you can guess what it was. Had to stop feeding him for 24 hrs. and then put him on chicken and rice. He is fine now but never again will I buy these bones. If I hadn't seen them splintering up, who knows how many little sharp pieces he would have eaten. He might be a dead dog now. So if you still decide to buy these bones, at least, watch your dog while he is eating them.

Doesn't last more than 20 minutes - but nice treat for my aggressive chewers!

I came to this store and brought my boy "Mable" in with me as i normally do...but this day we walked down an ile with bones and marble sniffed ( shopped) until he found just the right bones.. He carried them all the way to the checkout....lol

Dog really liked the outer coating, but left the bones.
