One thing good about the Merrick brand is that although they are more expensive, they have very low moisture content, and are much harder. Joey chews on his all the time, and they last a week, nothing ever sticks to the roof of his mouth, they really have to gnaw on them to get something off, I think of them more like a safe bone, then a food stick. I buy in bulk and because the Merrick brand uses no artificial preservatives and are individually wrapped, so they will last forever. I hate to pay for shipping, and many companies have the same shipping charges for 1 or 100, but if you are trying something new, it's best to only get a few, just to make sure your dog likes them. |
