Are all chews the Extra-Large size? I've read some reviews that say the bag they received had a variation of chew sizes.

I would say maybe 30% are actually extra-large and maybe 20% are about the size of a piece of bacon!! They sell these at my vet also and she agrees that the quality control of this product is very poor. She and I both love the product but it is too expensive to not get what you pay for.

The sizes are not entirely uniform, but my dog doesn't like to chew on an extra thick, long piece every day anyway. I've not had a problem with the size and thickness variation. And I'm not sure exactly how large the "extra large" size is supposed to be anyway. But the pieces I received in my online order were not small pieces. I was satisfied with the product, and so is my dog.

I found that there was some variation among the extra-large, but they all were bigger than the large size (some were only a little bit bigger, and some were really thick and much bigger).

I have purchased MANY bags of the XLarge from both the vets office and Amazon and tho some may be thinner than the others and some more curled....they are all X Large sized/

Unfortunately no, the chews are not all extra large. I've even called Virbac's customer service about this several years ago. They said at that time that it was a temporary manufacturing issue that would be addressed & corrected. It never was. It's very disappointing to find such a mix of all sizes in the extra large bag, however, both my dogs love these chews & they are good for their teeth so I continue to purchase this product.

The last bag I ordered seemed smaller than usual. So, yes they are all different in sizes.

I had not noticed any but I just went and stuck my face in the bag and no they don't. My dog is picky about snacks and she eats them fine. As I said she is only 5 1/2 lb.so I have to break them in half even though they are small and are soft to chew. I want to echo the answer before mine THESE ARE NOT TREATS use them as directed.

I never have had this problem in almost a year's ordering. I do get them from Bariatric Advantage and you should check the expiration date, but if they are hard, then I would write directly to them (or better yet, call) and nicely ask for a replacement bag as your bag is inedible. They are a big enough company I'm sure they would be happy to help you. Yes, they should be soft and chewy. I do keep mine in a plastic container after opening the bag to help preserve freshness for the month's supply (and I only order one month at a time). Good luck! I love mine!!

Yes, I did notice that the chews were much smaller in size. For a medium size dog, it should be bigger ... And the price has shot up.

They come differently evety time but usually some are thin some are very thick. I have 4 big dogs of different ages who each prefer them differently so they work for me.

These run much much smaller than the corresponding size in Kongs. I would probably get one of each, which is what I do with my larger dogs and then fill them both and give them to the dogs based on how much I want them to eat at a given time. For a gentle chewer, they make a puppy version, which is a few more dollars in cost for the same size, but the rubber is a bit softer. Still durable but a bit more flexible. :)

I buy these all the time for my two Shih TZu's. My male is almost 18 pounds and I buy a much larger size than they suggest. I use the regular size which is for dogs 25 pounds to 50 pounds. The smaller ones just don't offer much of a treat for my dogs, They gobble them in seconds instead of minutes. I would start with a box of the regular and if they don't last long, get the larger size. They are very good for their teeth.

They have the petite size which would be a good size for a 10 lb baby, they are long and should keep her busy for a bit. Also I think they are a little easier to digest for lil stomachs. I would try that and then the mediums if she goes thru them to easily. Sometimes the larger chews can be too thick to cut. I hope this helps, I used to tech at a Veterinary office and we had samples so you could see what worked best for the critters, check with your Veterinarian and see if they have some samples. Amazon does have some of the best pricing on the CET chews.

Yes, they have reduced the newt weight of the package. With that said, they are still worth the price. If you have a small dog, be sure to get the normal size chew, not the " Big Boys ". They are a thinner slice and easier to chew. I cut the larger pieces in half. Side note, remember what goes in orange comes out orange, so don't be alarmed. Introduce slowly, the high fibre has it's affect.

Mine seem to be a variety of sizes and thicknesses - my dogs are all small, so they last quite awhile, and eventually they chew the fat ones as well as the thinner ones.

I dont currently have a bag of these that I could tell you that. I use 6 chews a day post WLS so they never last longer than a month for me. Right now I am using Celebrate calcium chews just for variety

Good question. To be honest they are quite large, but they do vary alot in thickness.....some are really thick and take ages to chew others are much thinner and take less time. Also depends how your dogs work on them....I have one that is slower on the thin ones as you expect, but my other takes more time over the thinner ones....

I've noticed they are a bit larger. I have two large breed dogs and they love them. I have a mini schnauzer and she doesn't care for them.

I buy these for two mini schnauzers, 15 & 18 lbs. The 15 lb. female goes through one of them in an hour. The 18 lb. male just chews one until the flavor goes away. From chewing, they become quite gummy and they aren't nearly as thick a chew as they used to be. Out of the 30 in the bag, maybe 10 are heavy duty chews like I want them to have and the other 20 are quite flimsy. I don't think I could recommend them for a larger dog and am not certain that I will even order again for our two little ones. Hope this helps.

Yes,Ora Clens chews are very consistent in size and thickness...know EXACTLY what you mean a/b the CET chews.Varying size and thickness..my dogs have gagged on the thinner among them.Hope this helps

My dogs are all huge sonthis size is good for me. Look on Amazon or gondirectly to Goughnuts site to see if they make extra small. It took more than a year before I had to send mine in for free replacement and I have a shepherd/rottie mix and a Chessie and they have big,destructive mouths and these toys hold up to them. I think if they make a smaller size you will be glad you bought it.

I have been ordering these chips for a couple of years. Dimensions and thickness vary by the bag. They vary so much that I try to have two bags going at all times so that I can match the chip size to the size of my dogs and the time of the snack. Despite the variability in size and thickness of the chips, I continue to order these because they do not have unknown chemicals, etc. which is what you get in chips from China.
