It is true that a dog can swallow a large piece of any chew if they are not closely observed while chewing but the stomach acids in the stomach are very strong and should be able to break down a digestible object within a few hours time.

Vets have removed from the stomachs of many dogs the rawhide chews that are considered digestible and will tell you that rawhide in large chunks is not digestible and has sickened and killed many wonderful pets.

I don't know what these particular chews are made of but if pets are suffering because of them then obviously they also are not truly digestible.

Be aware that the pet food, treat and product industry is considered "self regulating" meaning that no one is looking over their shoulder when they put these products out and label them. You have to be your own pet product police and make sure what you are buying is truly safe.
