Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2013
My goldendoodle loves these. At the time I purchased them, she was 7 months old and quite the chewer with sharp little puppy teeth. Now she is still quite the chewer with more adult chompers. Either way, these chews have stood the test. They are tightly rolled and are very dense. They last long, though I can't give you a specific time. I don't limit her time with them, there is always one or 2 in her crate. One might last 2 days, another might last a week. I guess it depends on her mood. But I can say that she has never immediately devoured one, she has to work at them. She loves playing/throwing them around & chewing them. No crumbs, no chips, no mess. No odor, no bad doggie breath. Rawhides are consumed, no goopy poop. Before purchasing, I read the reviews. Yes, being made in Brazil is a drag, but I knew that. I bit the bullet, my doggie bit the rawhide and we're both extremely satisfied. I have seen two prevalent US brands mentioned on the internet. One has a "wholesome" sounding name and is priced like doggie caviar and doesn't provide longer chewing time. The other has a "factory" sounding name and is cheap, but still more expensive than the ones sold on Amazon and are gone in a flash, like 25% gone in an hour. They make a mess with lots of crumbs and chips and in an hour there is more gone than the Cadets in a day. Does she like the USA factory-made better? I suppose so, but I don't because of the mess. They aren't dense and she can rip them up. She doesn't rip the Cadets up and I have never had a mess with them.
So, even though Cadets are made in Brazil, they provide better quality than the 2 top USA-made rawhide chews and are a better value. I like that they come in a resealable package. Will buy again.
