I give mine pigs ears.
They only get them when I am home and watching them.
They both eat them slow and chew them up good (if they didn't I would give them to them)
I'm sure it also has to do with the size of the dog. My dogs being German Shepherds, are bigger dogs and IMO would have less of a chance choking than a smaller dog eating one.
I know they are "doggie junk food" but hey.. I give myself snacks once in a while too!!
