Not too soft, not too tough. Just the right challenge.
A medium chewer wants a chew that lasts a satisfying session without being demolished in two minutes or too hard to make progress on. These are the middle-of-the-range natural chews that hit that mark: standard bully sticks, collagen and braided chews with real chew time in them. Every one is grass-fed beef with no artificial additives or preservatives, odour-free, and fully digestible.

How to match a chew to a medium chewer
The right chew for a medium chewer is dense enough to last but not so hard that your dog cannot get going. Standard and large bully sticks, collagen sticks and braided chews are the sweet spot: they take real work without the extreme density of a Power Bully. Match the thickness to your dog, not just the length, because thickness is what sets the chew time.
Reading your dog tells you if you have it right. If a chew is gone in a couple of minutes, size up or go thicker. If your dog cannot make progress or loses interest, the chew is too hard for them and a softer option suits better. A good match keeps them working happily rather than gulping or giving up.
As a rough guide, many dogs get 15 to 45 minutes from a chew per session, and a medium dog often lands around 30 to 90 minutes depending on the thickness and how hard they go. Times vary a lot from dog to dog, so watch your own and adjust.
The middle-of-the-range picks
Dense enough to last a session, forgiving enough to enjoy.
Chewing strength is a spectrum, so if the medium range is not quite right, shift a tier. Gentle dogs that find these too firm do better in light chewers, while serious jaws that flatten them in minutes want hard chewers or the longest-lasting options in long-lasting treats. Whichever tier you land on, supervise the session, keep fresh water handy, and take the chew away once it is small enough to swallow. For dogs 6 months and older.

How do I choose the right chew for a medium chewer?
Pick a chew dense enough to last a session but not so hard your dog cannot get going. Standard and large bully sticks, collagen and braided chews are the medium sweet spot. Match the thickness to your dog, and if a chew disappears in minutes size up, or if they cannot make progress go softer.
How long do bully sticks last?
It varies with your dog's size, jaw strength and the stick's thickness. Many dogs get 15 to 45 minutes per session, and a medium dog often lands around 30 to 90 minutes on a thicker stick. A thicker or braided chew lasts noticeably longer than a thin one.
How do I know if a chew is too hard or too soft?
Watch how your dog goes. Gone in a couple of minutes means it is too easy, so size up or choose a denser chew. Unable to make a dent, or quickly bored, means it is too hard, so a softer option suits better. The right chew keeps them working steadily without gulping chunks.
How long should a chew session be?
Supervise the session and let your dog enjoy the chew, then take it away once it is small enough to swallow whole. Around 15 to 30 minutes at a time suits many dogs, and you can save the rest for later. Always keep fresh water available during chew time.
