Tried these out (although I usually buy the BestBully brand Prime Thick-cut cow ears which are slightly lower priced and have 12 to a bag) and was more than pleasantly surprised. They are big, big, big, & thick and take my dogs twice as long to chew through (love to keep them busy!). Also, they do not have the repulsive odor of the BestBully brand which is a definite plus. My dogs enjoy both brands so will keep them happy by buying them both and alternating. I also like that they do not have the cow identification numbers tatooed on them like the other brand - I just don't like having that much info on which specific cow they came from as I don't plan on researching it on Ancestry.com to check out the lineage ;-) Also like the cut of them as they don't have the curled up portion of the ear base. These are thick, long-lasting, don't smell revolting, and my dog loves them. What more could I ask for? (well, being Subscribe and Save eligible WOULD be better)Thanks Top Dog Chews for another great product. My dogs also enjoy your 12-inch Standard Bully Sticks more than any other brand I've tried (including the extra thick ones) so please keep these products coming and keep up the great quality that I look for to keep my dogs happy and to make me feel confident that I am providing them with the best for them.
