| Merricks texas toothpicks, wishbones, wizzlers Have you tried any of these? How long did they last and how did your pups like them? I just got a wishbone (achilles tendon) and a 12" Merricks bully stick to try them out. Uni likes the toothpicks, they are very cheap (less than a buck) and they seem to last a while. Oh and they don't smell. They are VERY light weight but they seem to last a long time. What about wizzlers? Anyone try these? they seem like they are a beef jerky snack, not really a chew. How long do they last? They call them wizzlers, seems like the pups would "wizz" through them like butter. Oh the wishbone says 6-8", but it was about 2" shy of the 12" bully. Anyone heard of the Spizzle brand? They sell them on entirelypets.com as well. They offer a lot of products similar to Merricks, and at a cheaper price, but I've never heard of the brand. Any thoughts?

| i have tried the wizzlers.... my dogs love them but they do not last long at all. They are very thin, sorta like beef jerky but crunchier... but they are BIG tho.. so for one yorkie they might last longer (i have 3 dogs). Also they are easy to rip apart. I have not tried the other products but i do love Merricks... I see your in O.C...... I used to live in Irvine and i worked at a doggy boutique called Dogma! in irvine. They carry many of Merricks treats. Dogma! |

| Yup, they are the last pic I uploaded. They are about 4-5" long, sometimes curled up. Very light. but very cheap and very long lasting!

| I bought a bag of the Texas Toothpicks to try. There are small bones in them. Not sure if the dog can choke on them or not? He loves chewing on the things and the smell is not to bad. T. |

| It looks like there is a bone, but it's not exactly hard like you would imagine a bone to be. It almost has a freeze dried feeling to it.

| I like the Merrick Flossies. They are just tendons. I just can't get past bull penises (bully sticks) mentally. |

| Uni loves the flossies too, but they don't last her very long, only a day or two, they get expensive.

| Someone called and asked Merrick before and they said the flossies are bull penises also. The tendon is the penis

| Yes I love the toothpicks, and they last quite a while. Uni has finally started chewing the wishbone. It smells even LESS than the merrick bully. I thought it smelled like bbq or beef jerky, yum!

| Our Yorkie, Starr, loves the wishbone by Merrick. Do be aware that it makes the puppy very thirsty. |
