I like the concept of this toy w/these rawhide strips but they are very expensive and after much wear on the toy the rings do not stay on well so they do not last very long. Yes, my dogs are big agressive chewers but I was thinking the toy would last a little longer. The strips are kind of thin so they are finished with it in about 10 minutes.

I have two Chi's and they LOVE the rough rawhide ones but they ignore the smooth ones.

I bought the two of the toys that these rings go with and they could care less about those. I just give them the ring and they toss it, chase it and chew it. I only wish they sold a pack of only the rough rawhide.

We got our little Abby a month ago, she is a Jack Russell. We went crazy buying toys and such. I saw this toy on Amazon and got one for her, not thinking much about it, but it is her very favorite toy! We got two more for our other dogs, but they really don't get to play with them, Abby swoops in and takes them before they hit the ground. I just ordered 5 more refills so I could get one free. You really can't go wrong with this toy.

My dog gets pesky and there's nobody else to entertain him. When I went into the local pet store and asked for a busy box for my 100# lab mix, they sold me the Bouncy Bone. It took my dog less than 10 minutes to figure out that he could just grab the ring with his canines, while pinning the ball to the ground with his paws on the nylon bone on either side, and just using brute force to pull the ring until it snaps off. Gone in less than a minute. He's not interested in chewing on the nylon ends, and he could care less about that large heavy ball. Can't say I blame him.

I started cutting thick chews in half and drilling a hole through the center, larger than the core of the toy. Sandwiching the gnawhide ring between the pieces slowed him down considerably, since he had to chew through a substantial amount of rawhide to get to the gnawhide.

My next investment was the Bristle Bone (uses the same rings). If you haven't completed your toy purchase, get this one. It cleans their teeth, massages their gums, and conceals everything but the edge of the ring. Within 5 minutes he had cracked the middle piece that houses the bristles with his powerful jaws. The toy is still usable, although it does lose bristles. However, it only slowed him down by a few minutes.

Now I cut 3/8" off the outside of the rings, and cut that into smaller pieces to hide between the bristles on the other side, and use as special mini-treats. (I'm too cheap to use more than one ring at a time.) By doing this I am assured of at least 30 minutes to two hours. He's also pretty worn out from all the licking and biting.

Amazon had an older picture of this product online. There were more in each package that was pictured and different types. What I ordered and what I got were different. What I got was overpriced for what it was.

My puppy loves these. Too bad she devours them so fast but she enjoys doing it. Wish the holes were standardized. Some don't fit the toy.

This is great to keep your puppy or older dog busy. We have 3 dogs ranging from 18 month, 8years and 12years. Our mistake was only buying 1 bone which we will soon rectify. They all love this. It will keep the puppy busy for at least 30-45 minutes. I would definitely recommend this product.

I previously bought the medium size of this product. I don't put it in it's bristle boy, my chihuahua loves the rings just a they are. For such a tiny dog, she's a powerful chewer. The picture of the smaller gnawhide rings looked like they were the same diameter just thicker. NOT--they are teeny-tiny. She'll be eating them, but I'm pretty disappointed in their size. Personally, I'd love the medium rings to be thicker so they'll last longer than 10 minutes!

My little guy LOVES these treats. Amazon was out of the small for awhile so we were ordering the Medium. I was happy to see the small ones again, ordered and got packs of 16 rather than the 24 that were advertised! BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL issue with Sheer Imagination.

This was a big shocker. I got one a piece for my two dogs. They went absolutely nuts over these things, as if they were getting a hot dog. I used to buy them all the time until we left the toys behind on a vacation. The dogs loved the jerky rings but not so much the cornstarch rings. I would put the cornstarch rings on the outside and the jerky rings on the inside. Somehow they would eat the jerky completely without touching the cornstarch.

Its a good toy and treat to keep them busy and out of trouble. The treats a fairly cheap as well as the toy. These might be a bit big for small dogs but I strongly recommend them. Great treat/toy.
