Our thin cut jerky is soft and chewy, there is no mistaking this Jerky for a rock, which means you can tear it apart (or take a pair of scissors to it) for smaller pieces. We make bigger pieces so pets can hold and chew as a snack, ours do this while watching TV or as a midnight snack! Unless you have a larger dog at that point there will be some chewing and down the hatch followed by where’s my next piece?
