Best place to buy edible dog chews? And when did they get so pricey?

[Bleacher Creature]

Our year-old dog is chewing everything in the house and I want to get her something constructive to chew. The problem is that she's 100% food driven and won't touch anything not meat-based.

What do people here use? Bully sticks? Antlers? Pig ears?

I may just not have noticed it before, but all this stuff seems way more expensive since the last time we had a dog (about 10 years ago). I have no problem paying, but it seems like a lot to pay $5-$10 for a bully stick that will be lucky to last her 45 minutes.

Kidding, just kidding.

3. My puppy (a husky/heeler cross) is a mega chewer

Lots of soup bones from the grocery store. I get the big and little ones. I always have them in the freezer and just give him a big frozen one every day or a few little ones. He also LOVES antlers but can get all the marrow out of a $20 antler in a few days. However, he will still chew on the antler for a month or so. Also get those red rubber Kong things you can stuff - I stuff them with a meat mixture (meat, cheese, rice, & vegs) and freeze. Freezing the Kong makes it harder for him to get the meat out - otherwise he will get it all out in a few minutes.

4. We use bully sticks for our German Shepherd

We found them much cheaper through Chewy.com. Noelle can go through a 6" bully stick in anywhere between 15 min (for the skinny ones) to a couple of evenings (for the larger diameter). We've even tried cutting our own buying the 36" one. But they're $15/ea. At Concord Pet, PetSmart, and PetCare, a 6" stick runs $4.99 each. I have a 35 pack of 6" sticks on auto delivery from Chewy every 4 weeks. It costs $42. They send me email about a week before they ship, to give me an opportunity to change payment or update the order. Their customer service seems well run.

She also gets those bones filled with yogurt or pb, but we buy them at the pet stores. They last a lot longer and can be restuffed.

Her treats selection is rather limited, since she's had EPI (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) since she was 2yo. She's 10 now.
