| That's what Oscar and Ruthie chew! Texas Toothpicks! They even prefer them over the bullystick! Plus, they don't smell and you won't even be able to smell it on their breath. I get mine here (canadian site) and they are pigs tails. Highly recommended

| Do the toothpicks seem "safe"? I am so afraid of choking, that my poor babies don't get chewies unless I am right there. I won't even let them have a flossie or a Bullystick unless I am in the same room Wow, I was never that protective over my skinkids |

| I leave bully sticks for the babies out all the time they don't choke on them or anything...Never had a problem at all, these look as if they would be safe too....

| I think any chew is fine - and the best thing to keep them busy for when you can't be with them. I just take them away when they get to be small enough to be a choking hazzard - basically if they can't really grip it with their paws while they chew anymore, I take it away.

| Texas Toothpicks for Humans The "Texas Toothpicks" at the local watering hole are a combination of french fried potates and jalapeno peppers and strictly for human consumption. I almost cracked up when I read your note about being made from cows tails! |

| I just looked these up on Ebay to see if they had them and they have Merricks brand. You have to search texas toothpicks for dogs. If you just search texas toothpicks knives come up

| I've never heard of these either. I just ordered a new package of bully sticks but will think about these next time. Are they as safe as bully sticks? Natural stuff?? Do they last as long as bully sticks? I don't think the price is too bad either!

| I can't believe I am reading this. I just had a package of Merrick's in my hand last Sat and put them back because there was no explanation of what they were! I was looking for a safe chew something and came home with nothing. |

| I actually stood in the treats aisle at Petsmart for the longest time the other day looking for a good chew product for our Australian Shepherd and walked out with nothing. Tatum's bully sticks are too small for her I think - she'd have it gone in 10 minutes. What I need is something a lot bigger. But there were just so many rawhide products that I was getting confused. I've just always heard rawhide is not the best choice. Are pigs ears good for the bigger dogs?
