      "description": "A plush toy is a comfort and play toy rather than a chew, and the mistake is buying one for a dog that wanted a chew.\n\nSound is what most dogs are after. A squeaker gives feedback when the toy is bitten, and crinkle paper gives a different noise for a different kind of mouthing. This toy has both, the squeaker in the body and the crinkle in the ears and tail.\n\nPile length matters more than it looks. Long pile pulls out in handfuls and gets spread across the room. Short plush stays put longer and is easier on gums when a dog settles in with it for a while.\n\nSize the toy to the dog. Something a large dog can get fully in its mouth is not the right toy for it, and something too big is awkward for a small dog to carry and shake, which is most of the fun.\n\nWashing is what makes one of these last. Hand or machine is fine, and dry it through before it goes back in the toy box.\n\nRetire it before it comes apart. Once a seam opens or the squeaker is exposed, the toy is finished, and a torn soft toy is a toy the stuffing can come out of. Soft toys are for supervised play, not for leaving with a dog that is on its own.",

      "description": "There is a lot of variation in pig ears and almost none of it is on the label. The two things worth checking are what has been done to the ear, and how big it actually is.\n\nOn processing: an ear that has been smoked, basted or flavoured has stopped being a single ingredient. These are dried and nothing else, then irradiated, then a random sample from a lot goes to an outside laboratory and is tested for salmonella, coliform, yeast and mould. That last step is the one almost nobody publishes, and it is the one worth asking a supplier about.\n\nOn size: whole ear and half ear are both sold as pig ears, and thin ears from small pigs get bagged up with the rest. These are whole, hand sorted and thick cut, averaging about 39 grams. A thicker ear lasts longer, which is what you are buying.\n\nHow long one lasts depends on the dog more than the ear. A small dog, under about 20 lb, will usually be 30 to 45 minutes with one. A determined chewer will be much quicker. Compared with the other natural chews, a pig ear is generally quicker than a cow ear, and a cow ear is quicker than a bully stick.\n\nPack size follows from that. Twelve is enough to find out whether your dog likes them. Fifty is the normal repeat order for one dog getting a few a week. A hundred is for several dogs, or for people who have stopped buying anything else. All three come in the same heavy resealable bag, just bigger.\n\nStorage is simple. Sealed, cool and dry, and they stay good for months. Give one while you are around, and take it off the dog once it is small enough to swallow whole. They are a treat and they are high in fat, so they sit alongside a proper diet rather than replacing part of it.

      "description_text": "There is a lot of variation in pig ears and almost none of it is on the label. The two things worth checking are what has been done to the ear, and how big it actually is. On processing: an ear that has been smoked, basted or flavoured has stopped being a single ingredient. These are dried and nothing else, then irradiated, then a random sample from a lot goes to an outside laboratory and is tested for salmonella, coliform, yeast and mould. That last step is the one almost nobody publishes, and it is the one worth asking a supplier about. On size: whole ear and half ear are both sold as pig ears, and thin ears from small pigs get bagged up with the rest. These are whole, hand sorted and thick cut, averaging about 39 grams. A thicker ear lasts longer, which is what you are buying. How long one lasts depends on the dog more than the ear. A small dog, under about 20 lb, will usually be 30 to 45 minutes with one. A determined chewer will be much quicker. Compared with the other natural chews, a pig ear is generally quicker than a cow ear, and a cow ear is quicker than a bully stick. Pack size follows from that. Twelve is enough to find out whether your dog likes them. Fifty is the normal repeat order for one dog getting a few a week. A hundred is for several dogs, or for people who have stopped buying anything else. All three come in the same heavy resealable bag, just bigger. Storage is simple. Sealed, cool and dry, and they stay good for months. Give one while you are around, and take it off the dog once it is small enough to swallow whole. They are a treat and they are high in fat, so they sit alongside a proper diet rather than replacing part of it. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or you are unsure, your vet is the right person to ask."
