He's a little chew monster if ever I saw one, chewing through braided rawhides in a manner of minutes. Since I read that rawhide isn't healthy for dogs anyway, I looked for alternatives. The Busy Bones were a joke, and I'd been warned away from deer antlers because they splinter. So, I did a little more research and found out about cow hooves.
Pros: These things last, and last, and last, even with a very enthusiastic chewer like my dog. One hoof lasts him at least 3 or 4 days.
Cons: SWEET BABY JESUS, DO THESE THINGS STINK! When I first got them for my dog, I thought they were just giving him a really bad case of gas. But it was such a persistent and distinct stink (see what I did there?) that one day I wondered if maybe it wasn't the hooves themselves. I took one away from him that he'd been chewing on for a day or so and took a whiff. WHEW!!! I rue the day I did that. It smelled absolutely horrible. I guess I really shouldn't have been surprised at the scent when you consider that a cow hoof is nothing more than a giant toenail. In fact, that's actually the closest thing I can compare the smell to--a giant, stinking, toenail that's been inside of a funky, humid, leather sneaker for a very long time; take that scent and multiply it times 100. Ladies, maybe you've never experienced that scent, but I'd wager most of us guys have at some point or another, particularly the big toenail during summer months.
Another huge con for me is that these aren't made in America, but Chile. From all the research I've done on my own, animal treats/food made in countries other than America should be avoided at all costs because of the chemicals they use in processing, particularly dog treats like rawhide and such.
In conclusion, these things are very long lasting, but because of the God-awful stench and the fact that they're not processed in America, I haven't given one to my dog in nearly two months. Once the whole bag is gone, I doubt I'll ever buy another. |

Great items, I agree with the other review that after a while the smell is terrible. However its a small price to pay. Both my dogs love their hooves. I have a coon hound and cocker spaniel/beagle mix. They will chew on the hooves for hours. |

Hooves have been the ticket, but sometimes they don't last long because of the way they are processed. If the hooves are too brittle she goes through them too quickly. This brand had that tendency. I know we have to be careful of hooves that aren't "clean". She digested them fine but a lttle too brittle. |

Honestly? They are all the same, so go with whatever is the cheapest. I think I did like Cafix the best, but it may be a mental thing with the name at least sounding somewhat like Coffee. There is little difference in all three, they look identical with only tiny coloration differences. All by themselves they do not taste like coffee and if you are a black coffee drinker? Pass, because you will not be satisfied with the taste. It is very bland all by itself. BUT, if you like cream in your coffee? You won't even notice the difference between coffee and these products within a week or two you will forget you are not drinking coffee. I am PERFECTLY happy with all three products and will continue to drink them;I will choose by PRICE due to the very similar make of them all. The cans all read the same ingredient wise. |

Stevenson | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1330646400 | For your favorite furry chewer | I had started buying these 1 at a time from the local pet store, until I was buying 3 a week. It definitely made more sense for me to purchase online in larger quantities. I've always given my dog (1 y/o female pit) things to chew on, and this is the best to meet her need to chew. This is great for their teeth and it's really no calories. The only downside is a funky smell. The hooves do have an odor to them once they get moist. I've tried all kinds of brands and the ones that smell the worst have a filling which is some type of mystery. Also, do watch for small peices as they break off. I give it 5 stars inspite of the odor because I really encourage people who have chew driven dogs to consider this product. It will occupy their time and save your shoes! |

This is by far the best thing I have found so far. A 1/2 cup serving has 14 grams of fiber with no sugar at all and only 60 calories. It's very low fat with no cholesterol and has lots of vitamins.
When I chop some fresh fruit into it and add some 2% milk, it provides a healthy and agreeable breakfast with less than 300 calories. Be warned, however, that it is sweetened with aspartame, so if that is a concern to you, you'll have to look elsewhere. |

This is a quality product for a fair price. Buying a five pound bag is a convenience, too. I only buy two of these in a year, and I never run out. Why make 50 trips a year to the grocery store to buy the teensy bag? The product arrives promptly and keeps very well. Hard to go wrong. |

Ryan "Scott Ryan" | 3 | 3 | 5 | 1321488000 | Excellent anchovies | When the Cetara anchovies we usually buy became temporarily available, we decided to try a couple of other brands. This is one of them, and -- though I still slightly prefer Cetara -- they're excellent: big fat juicy meaty fishy anchovies with loads of flavor.
The price is excellent. At the time I'm writing, it's less than twelve bucks for a grand total of some 700g of anchovies, divided into six resealable glass jars, and the wee beasties are eligible for Amazon Prime. You can pay twice that much for an 800g tin and still owe for shipping.
The other main advantage of this brand is that it does come in those jars. Each one is small enough to use up within days or weeks (if you eat as many anchovies as we do; we use them on pizza, on pasta with pesto, in sauces, and so forth). Anchovies will keep for a long time in salt, but once their container has been opened I'm not comfortable trusting them beyond six months or so even though they'd probably be safe well beyond a year.
Just be aware that these are _real_ anchovies -- you need to rinse them, cut off their heads and tails, and finish the filleting job before you eat them. Optionally, you can soak them for a while in cold water (or, so I'm told, milk, but ewww) if you want to reduce their saltiness. (I have no such desire, so I don't bother -- but do at least make sure you rinse them thoroughly or they'll taste a bit too "oceany," if you know what I mean.) Yes, they have bones and everything, just like actual fish, and the larger bones in these are a sign that they're good and meaty.
They're tasty enough right out of the jar, so be sure to take out a couple more than you need for whatever you're making and nibble them as you work. |

Not having used salted anchovies, we really had to learn how to soak them. Too much soaking leaves little flavor. Removing the spine is easy, and so much better than the spiny ones packed in oil. We're beginning to like these little fishes quite a lot. |

This pack of 10 contains hooves that are thicker than I have seen other places, which is important because they are less prone to splitting and chipping. You do have to watch your dog when they are chewing, in case a piece breaks off, but this is the only product that I have found that my dogs love. I have two labs, one is an agressive chewer, and if we have the hooves around I don't worry about her chewing something she shouldn't (my shoes!). I do have to warn you that the smell isn't great when they chew it for a while, but its worth it for them to be happy. I would absolutely reccommend this product to anyone with a dog! |
