Very Inconsistent Sizes

On: 2009-01-02

I normally buy pigs ears two cases at a time for my large dogs to save on shipping fees. The first two cases of this brand that I purchased were nice large ears. The third case contained very, very small ears. Each was roughly one-third the size of the ears in the first two cases. I havent opened the fourth case yet, but I wont buy any more of this brand, regardless.

tiny foreign junk - what a rip off!

I dont know what others got, but I was shipped a box of teeny tiny little pig ears in a box that said they were a product of Spain. All 100 (if thats how many are even in there) of them were inside a plastic bag about the size of a potato chip bag inside the box. You could have fit several of those bags in the box, but I got only one. It would take 4 of these pig ears to equal the size of just one that I can buy from my local pet food store for about $1.00 a piece. That is no exaggeration. To help you visualize this, the average size pig ear is smaller than my computer mouse (and I have a typical mouse. All I can say is dont make the mistake I made. After reading the other reviews I thought this would be a quality product. Well, while it appears that it was at one time, it certainly isnt anymore. I weighed the bag and it was a bit over 4 pounds. I paid $80 after shipping. That means I paid roughly $20 per pound for this junk! And since these dont come from the United States, theres no telling if theyre even safe for my dogs to eat. What a complete rip off!!!

edit: Check the "customer images" of this product. I uploaded two photos that show the average sized pig ear.

These are GREAT. Our dog loves them! We (and our carpets) love them because they dont get soft and messy like many rawhide chews. Great value and great product!

Great product, can be a bit 'dusty,' but not fault of seller

Ive purchased boxes of pig ears directly from Merrick as well as through Amazon.com sellers. Any problem with the pig ears needing to be wiped off originates with Merricks shipping: in large knock-down boxes that are not sealed airtight and so can get dusty during transit. If it were not for this, theyd get a 5-star rating. Ive registered this concern with Merrick two or three times, but dont know if anything has changed, because I no longer buy directly from them (their retail prices are higher to me than if I buy from one of the sellers; go figure). The pig ears themselves are top quality, nice size and very, VERY much enjoyed by my cattle dog. I do recommend supervision when you dog is enjoying a pig ear (ditto for the Flossies), as they can choke on what theyve chewed off, if they get greedy and "bite off more than they can chew." Its easy to reach in and remove the offending piece of really-slimy-by-now from my cattle dogs mouth, and he doesnt often choke, but its enough for me to issue a caution. Beware: These treats are addictive to your pet!!!!!!

Good

The ears arrived in a jumbo sized box on time. They are of good quality and size although a few were smaller than the rest. The dogs love them.

Pretty good

I bought these because the ones I bought the last two times were not available. The only complaint that I have are that some of the ears are small in size. The other brand seem to have all larger ears in the box. Otherwise, the dogs seem to like them as much as any other brand.

Pig Ear purchase #2

On: 2007-07-29

I would like to know why my order went to White Dog Bone and not KNine Kountry. The buyer should be notified "prior to placing the order" that their order is not going to the company that they had intended. The pig ears from White Dog Bone are not as well prepared as the ones I received from KNine Kountry. I have to wipe each one off before feeding it to my dogs.

nice pig ears

I have bought pig ears for my dogs for over 12 years and these were the perfect size. Very big but not huge. They are smoked perfect and Bubby loves them. Everyone who buys these for their dogs knows you can get stuck with very small ones and be very disappointed, not these. Bought from this company before and have never been sorry. Very fast ship, very reliable company.
