I purchased this bone for my 100 pound Rottweiler puppy who tends to go through bones in one hour. I bought this over a month and a half ago and it is still intact. My dog loves this bone and chews on it all the time. It does have a bit of a smell to it. I’m assuming due to the flavor I selected. And if you have hardwood floors it is very loud when he drops it. It has a hard shell on it. As he chews on it, there are flakes of the shell that fall off that tend to land in blankets or the couch. I do like the bone and it has lasted for a long time which saves me money. I would purchase again, especially for my aggressive chewers.
