And that soggy/stickiness probably isn't favorable to the esophagus or perhaps even the trachea.

The only thing allowed here is Nylabone under supervision.
I think that some dogs might be ok with them, but Rocco is a crazy chewer so that's also why I pass on the CET chews. I can't even find a Nylabone that he doesn't chew to pieces (and swallow)...he goes through bully sticks like nobody's business; the himalayan chews are the only thing I've found that are a bit of challenge for him. I even tried an antler and was horrified when he managed to break SPLINTERS off of it . Just over 8lbs, but a jaw like a pit bull...
