Nature Gnaws Braided Gnaws for Dogs 5-6" (12 Count) - Long Lasting for Small and Medium Dogs - Natural Beef Bully Stick Combo Braids - Rawhide Free

My 7 month old german shepherd LOVES these. They are his favorite and they keep him busy for a while. I don't personally love the price though. They have a smell but it's not overwhelming. I've tried another brand that was slightly cheaper and my dog didn't care for them at all. He's not picky by any means but he goes crazy for these. He'll even freak out anytime I get an Amazon package bc he thinks it's more of these. Definitely recommend.

My two little dogs love the Nature Gnaws chews. They have never gotten sick from eating a Nature Gnaws product, which is why I am a loyal customer.

My 13-pound micro mini goldendoodle loves these chew sticks. Keeps her busy for quite a while. She has a soft mouth, meaning she isn't a hard chewer. She separates the braids within 5 minutes and eats one of the braid "strands" (pieces) in about one hour. She doesn't have an upset stomach or an intestinal response after eating them, which is wonderful compared to other brands she's tried. Though she is drawn to these bully sticks, I find the scent repulsive. My guests and I can smell them from eight feet away. By the next day, the scent seems to come through her skin. Very unpleasant to me, but she is in heaven when she eats them.

My toy poodle is a chewer! He loves these pizzles!! They keep him busy & they’re good for a pups teeth!! Sometimes I rehydrate them by soaking in hot water, each pizzle lasts about a week!

Fell apart in minutes , my little dog.. plucked 1 piece it fell apart I bought the braid because of the thickness which is now thin separate pieces all over its and extra aromatic..I've had alot of pizels in past none had the extreme aroma..

Both of my dogs love these bully sticks. I started out buying the 5-6" ones and realized that they were going through them quickly. Also, my one dog gets down to the last two inches of it and then swallows it whole. I try to keep an eye on her because the last thing I need is her choking. The 11-12" sticks are the exact same as the 5-6" ones - just longer. I think they get more chew out of the longer ones (I'm not throwing away as many small pieces) and they are priced better than the 5-6" ones when you look at price/count. By the way, my dogs are 9 and 17 pounds, and they both go to town on the long ones. I just take them away when they are a little less than half done because I don't want them to overdo it. I recently bought another brand. I was wanting to see a couple of things: (1) what the size was of the other ones (they were both 11-12", but I was not sure how wide they were); and (2) whether they liked them and/or took them longer to eat. It's all about having a healthy treat at a reasonable price and, yes, these are expensive. So, here are the results of my experiment: (1) basically the same size; (2) they don't like them as much. I do periodically see them chewing on them (which is good because they were almost double the price - basically five bully sticks that were the same price as the Nature Gnaws package with ten). I guess I can look at it this way...since they are not eating the other ones, they are lasting longer. Haha. But that's not why be buy these things - for us to waste our money products they don't enjoy. I know some folks have commented that they stink. There is definitely a smell to them (as there was for the other brand), but it wasn't terrible. My dogs eat them in the house and they eat them outside. Doesn't bother me either way. I will say that sometimes when I take it away from them and put it on the bathroom counter and forget...I will be at the sink and think...what is that smell? Then I see the half-chewed bully stick. I just chuckle. It's not bad unless you are hyper-sensitive to smell. But then I can't imagine most dog owners are hyper-sensitive to smells because dogs can be...well...smelly!!! :)

Dogs LOVEd them!!!

This is the smallest thing I’ve ever smelled for my dog OMG! It smells like straight farts. Also, the product came opened and I’ve been having difficulty with customer service.

I clearly made a mistake when I bought it, as part of a larger AMZ order of dog treats and toys. So I didn’t notice the absurd price of $90 for 1 pack, that contains 3 braided bully sticks that are 6”. My 20 pound dog ate the bully stick in 10 minutes. These are the MOST expensive bully sticks I’ve ever seen, and they weren’t anything special. And really smelled too. DO NOT BUY!
