289406 | 289406 | B000633NXM | A2M1FQIKXG71WG | Rainbow Bridge | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1348185600 | smokehouse is an excellant brand | I commented on someones review of this product whos dog became very ill, which caused me to look at some of the other negitive reviews and I would like to offer information about this product and my experiance with smokehouse. I have purchased this brand for many years. I have also purchased other brands. None of my dogs has every gotten sick from a smokehouse bone. At one point I purchased a bag of 3 bones that were a differant brand, when I opened up the bag a cloud of mold poofed into the air. Obviously I didnt give them to my dogs. My point is this the brand this happened with is well known and reliable, but that doesnt mean nothing ever goes wrong. Most people at sometime in their life have purchased a moldy loaf of bread, or cheese or even gone to a resturant where there was something very definantly wrong with the food. It may not happen often but when it does its dangerous, and unpleasant. But we still continue to buy food at the grocery store and go to resturants.
There are differances in opinions of even vets as to whether or not you should use properly cured beef bones or raw hide chews. I have never had a problem with the cured beef bones from smokehouse and I know of vets that recommend bones vs rawhide chews and rawhide chews vs cured beef bones. Yes pieces of bone can be broken off, swallowed, and then get lodged in the system, I also know of dogs that have had rawhide chews that have caused serious health issues. If a dog gets a large enough piece of rawhide swallowed, contrary to what some think it does not get fully digested and can also cause vomiting and even a blockage.
When you deal with food whether its for pets or humans things do go wrong.
The smokehouse bones keep my dogs teeth free of tartar, they have fun, Im happy and have never had a problem. I under no circumstances will give my dogs rawhide anything. Ive know of several dogs that have had issues with rawhide and only one dog that had a minor problem with a cured beef bone and it was not a smokehouse bone. |

Merikle | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1340841600 | Upset Tummy | While my dog really enjoyed this for a few hours before going to bed the next morning she threw up all her dinner. This did not sit well with her tummy. So I don't think she will be getting it back to finish it. It still has quite a bit on it. Buyer beware if your dog has a delicate stomach. I really wish this would have worked. |

Not sure if it's bad or what but it is not a hit and not worth it. They love the stuffed bones but not this thing. Strange would have thought this would have been a huge hit. |
289409 | 289409 | B000633NXM | A3OS1SO09S3WRJ | Chrissy | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1334275200 | Chevy hasn't left this out of her sight!! | I've got a wonderful Lab that is more than capable and willing to chew through a wall if she doesn't have something to crush and keep her mouth occupied. This mammoth bone hit all the right spots with her (because she can be very particular about her bones) and this is a winner for us that's for certain. Its been 2 weeks ago and she is still going at it like its just came out of the wrap and that makes me so happy!
I am definitely buy things again and I've recommended it already and will continue to recommend it. |

For the next three days all he did was work on this bone. A month later, it's scattered in small pieces around the house and he lays around still gnawing on the big knuckle at the end. The only negative with the flavored bones are they leaves a pretty big mess. If you can handle that you will have one happy and busy dog. |

I was astonished that anyone would have the gall to ask $21 for a regular size bottle of syrup. Seriously, this is crazy talk. Yeah, it's pretty tasty, but you would have to be an idiot to support these clowns in their attempt to pick your pocket like this. In Hawaii, the exact same article is about $5 and targets tourists, because anyone who truly wants this would just make some from scratch. It's not hard, the ingredients are easily available at any grocery store, and home made does not have the chemical aftertaste. It doesn't even take long to make, and you can easily have it done, fresh, if you start the same time you begin to cook your pancakes. You are not doing anything else except waiting for the tiny bubbles to form and start to pop, anyway. |

Today for Easter my grandson received his Hawaiian Coconut Syrup in his Easter basket and was thrilled. He and his mother had pancakes for breakfast. His two little brothers had pancakes also but with maple syrup instead. Thank you Amazon. |

I am very pleased with my purchase as this syrup tastes exactly like the one I had while on vacation. I ordered 2 bottles and when I am out I will be ordering more of this syrup. It has a very pleasant coconut taste without being overpowering. Highly recommended! |

Product was shipped fast and I LOVED it to the last drop! |

I thought I was buying a bone on the large side. Uh, the thing weighs a ton and looks like the shin bone of a cow. Or a dinosaur. It's 18" long. It would take my dog about a year of gnawing, but he'd be happy the whole time. |

I let them chew on it for a little while everyday.. sometimes big chunks break off and I usually take those from them (Im paranoid the piece will get stuck and choke them) .. I recommend you supervise your pup when they're chewing on these, just to be safe.. Highly recommended, especially for bigger dogs. |

On Christmas day, we opened up the box and unwrapped one of her bones. The knuckle fell off (i'm assuming it got tossed around a lot in shipping) but no worries, Munchkin ate that as well. We put the bone on her blanked she normally uses to play on to help keep the mess down. Munchkin, a 100-pound 8 month-old Newfoundland is STILL working on her bone. Lasts a long time and provides hours of chewing time! |

They were literally "stunned"by the size. Her larger dog would not leave the bone. She finally had to take it from him so he would go for a walk! The smaller dog (30 pounds) could barely lift her bone. I highly recommend this product, if just for the amusement factor, but the dogs loved to chew them also. probably not appropriate for a small space or a tiny dog. |

The only negative thing is that its not sealed properly and little bits of skin and baked flesh peel off into the shipping box. My dogs KNEW what it was before I opened the box. |

He spent the next 2 days, after i threw the bone away, vomiting all over everything. I dont know if i got a bad item, or if they are all like this, but i would strongly recommend going elsewhere for your pets chew-toy needs. |

Even my picky dog loves them. I put the box down & went to the car to get some other stuff. When I got back, she was "unpacking" the box. They might seem expensive, but they are a bargain. |
289400 | 289400 | B000633NXM | A1JOCFRO3UC0QE | Raven | 2 | 2 | 5 | 1321228800 | My dogs love these bones! :D | Both my dogs are aggressive chewers. I usually give them rawhide everyday but I've been hearing that rawhides are actually bad for dogs so I decided I'd cut down on how many I give them. I got two of these bones, one each for my dogs. I expected them to chew off some of the good crunchiness off of it and then leave it alone but no, they really enjoy them. They chew them up until the tops of the bones have fallen off and then they keep on chewing. It lasts my dogs for about 2 days but then they get bored with it and I'll feed them some other kind of bones or rawhide but they'll keep going back to the bones. I've already ordered another order for them and I'm here to make a third purchase for them. So, I'm pretty happy with them. On the side of caution..not only does the boney ends get chewed off, if you're worried about choking hazards, which I don't cause they're really big pieces, the bone does break apart after some chewing on it. Also, these bones can be quite messy. I'm use to cleaning up after my dogs so that doesn't bother me much until they decided to lug the bones on to the bed and start chewing. I thought nothing of it at first because the motion of them chewing on the bones lulled me to sleep. But during the night I kept feeling these little hard pieces of bone debris. I woke up, turned on the light and my sheets were covered in a little snow fall of bone debris. So, I wouldn't recommend allowing your dog to bring them up on your furniture for that reason. Otherwise, any aggressive chewer will really enjoy this bone. |

Apparently it makes a mess all over the apartment... But her dog loves it. And thats the important thing. The dog was a little intimidated by it, but very quickly warmed up to it and started dragging it everywhere. Much to my sisters chagrin. So I would say this is definiately for large outside dogs. My sister now keeps it in the dog food until she can supervise its consumption in a safe area. The dog didnt get sick from it or have any adverse side effects as some other reviewers indicated.
This bone is perfect for the large loved outdoor dog in your life! |
