My criteria:
No bully sticks, every single brand I've tried stinks like poop big time.
No made in China or other 3rd world country. Preferably made in USA.
Low in fat.
Lasts a long time, ie at least one hour.
My newest criteria was that it not be from Merrick, as you all have told me their QC is so inconsistent. Before now, Merrick was the only brand that carried chews that fit all my criteria, being the Wishbones, Flossies, and Texas Toothpicks. Now the Flossies cost 2x as much as before and are 2x thinner, the TT last 1/4 of the time as before, and the Wishbones are oilier and oilier.

What to do?
I bought a bag of peanut butter chews from the feed store yesterday. Looked ok, made in USA, low fat, etc, but one chew lasts her all of 10 mins. I don't want something that is a treat or food product type. I want something that will keep her interest for at least an hour.

Himalayan chews are good, but she likes to toss them around, and once they break, she loses interest.

Tried deer antlers, the Antlerz brand. No go. Plus they are expensive!
Nylabone she only likes the flavored ones but again, consumes them too quickly.

There's nothing left! Help!
