Redbarn Ham Bone X-Large Dog Chew 1-Count

I have two large malamute mixes. Both are very picky eaters. They won't even touch many popular dog snacks like cow hooves, Beggin' Strips, and some brands of pig ears. They do love ham though. It's one table scrap they've never been able to pass up- no matter how full they are. So I thought, naturally, ham bones would be a big hit with them. I wasn't disappointed.I've purchased these bones a few times. I trust and like Redbarn brand. I've never had an issue with their products. There are a few specific aspects I like about these snacks:-First, being the fact they are all natural. They are actual ham bones which are smoked for preservative and flavor purposes. I try to keep my dogs on an aux natural diet and these bones fit into my feeding regimen. I can feed them to the pups guilt free- knowing that there are no weird preservatives or additives like there are in other dog snacks.-The other thing I really like about these bones is how large they are. They really are 'Jumbo'. I feed my dogs regularly so they won't sit down and eat this bone in one sitting (they're usually too full for that), but they will work on it a few hours each day. I gave them the last two I purchased on Christmas. It is now January 1st and the bones are half-way eaten. They do last quite a while- even with my tough little chewers. My larger dog works on his a little more diligently so it's eaten quite a bit more than my smaller pup's.Each of these bones come in a plastic sealed wrap. It keeps the natural oils and crumbs of the bone neatly packed inside. It's easy to open. But once opened lots of little bits of dried meat and bone will fall all over the place. Another neat feature about these bones is that there is a bit of meat dried onto the bone- it's not just a bone. But as you open this the pieces will fall all over the place. Keep this in mind. The bone is also oily and greasy. I like this because it means it's natural not over-preserved. But once again this is something to keep in mind. If you're feeding this on carpeted flooring the grease may get into the flooring. There isn't much of an odor to the bone though- so if you're willing to clean up the mess you won't have to deal with an odd smell.Now onto what the dogs think: They're always excited to receive these bones. They can barely wait for me to open the packages. Coho, my smaller malamute will usually set the bone on the ground and begin gnawing. Rascal, my bigger dog, will hold the bone in his mouth and do a little dance for a while. Then he'll attempt to chew it standing up (realizing that's much to hard) and then he'll lay down and munch on it as well. For the first time they get the bone they'll sit for an hour or so just chewing. They love the little crumbly bits on the outside. And for the next week after receiving the bone they'll return to it often. It never gets buried- much too yummy for that.The hard texture of this bone will help clean plaque off of dog's teeth. The large size can keep even the toughest chewers busy for a few hours (if not a few days!). It's well packaged and doesn't have a strong smell. It is a bit messy, but that's to be expected with an animal bone. The dogs absolutely love it- and that makes it a 5 star snack in my mind!

I have a beagle. He's 6 months old and he has been chewing on my furniture and walls. He has other chew toys, but he still goes for my furniture. So, I got him this bone. He's satisfied and he no longer chews on my furniture. Here's a list of Pros and Cons:Pros*Distracts puppy-The first day he got it, he spent the entire day chewing on that thing. He only stopped for his walks, his feeding times, and for drinks of water. He can spend hours chewing it.*Saved furniture- Whenever he gets the need to chew (which, as a puppy, is pretty much all the time) he just runs over to his bone. He no longer chews on my furniture.*Lasts long- My puppy gets through his bones fast. It usually takes him 10 minutes to get through a long rawhide bone. However, this bone is HUGE! It's long and thick, so even though my puppy constantly attacks it, it's strong enough to withstand it.*It's cheap-With my Amazon prime, I only paid $6.18 for this. It's a great deal.Cons*Messy-It's coated in something. It's hard and crunchy and my dog loves it but it's messy. So, when I opened the plastic that held it together, a bunch of crumbs started falling out. Also, my puppy made a HUGE mess of crumbs. It was from chipping off the coating on this bone. It's better to open it over the trash can so that you won't have to clean up what falls out. Also, give this to your dog in a place that's easy to clean. Thankfully, my house only has hard floors, so all I had to do was sweep it up. However, carpeted areas would need to be vacuumed.*Smell-It comes with a smell. It's not a foul smell, but it's noticeable.All in all, an amazing product. I will definitely be buying it again once he finishes this one up.

My 100 lb Dog loves it, walks around with it constantly now. Likes it better than his others. It is big, probably 10 or 11 inches long. Should last a good long time. Good value

MY DOG IS A SMALL DOG AND SHE MANAGED TO CHEW SHARDS/SPLINTERS OFF THE BONE AND IS NOW SUFFERING WITH VOMITING, DIARREA, LETHARGY AND HAS SINCE WENT INTO EMERGENCY SURGERY LAST NIGHT FROM THIS BONE. I SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE AMAZON KEEPS SELLING THIS PRODUCT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE STATING HOW UNSAFE IT IS. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS BONE TO YOUR ANIMALS IF YOU LOVE THEM. I DONT EVEN KNOW IF MINE WILL MAKE IT BECAUSE IT HAS PREFORRATED HER INSIDES. I CALLLED AND ASKED TO HAVE THIS ITEM REMOVED FROM THEIR SITE. HOPEFULLY THEY LISTEN BEFORE LAWSUITS START HAPPENING. $800 PLUS IN VET BILLS FOR A $4 PRODUCT. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE DOGS ARE SUFFERING.

we have a german shepard mix and a jack russell & beagle mix. they both are alomst 7 years old & we used to live in the country & they had 11 1/2 acres to run but then we moved to town & they got a yard that is only 1/2 an acre so they needed something to keep them busy. as soon as they saw the mail man they was barking (which they always do)but they could smell these bones. they were wrapped in plastic to seal in the flavor. let me tell you i didn't make it out the door before being jumped. they both grabed a bone and off they went. they have been eatting on them and they still have a lot of the bones left. i did like that they did still have some meat on them and they love that. they are a little smelly not alot. my husband couldn't smell them but i could. i would tell you that no matter what kind of dog you have this is the perfect bone. dogs love it.
