Our vet recommended sticking to these treats during his treatment, and they were a total game changer. However, after a while, I started to notice some downsides that made me stop buying them. Here's the deal - they're not suitable for outdoor activities or training, and Bandit could easily swallow them whole without chewing. Not gonna lie, these issues outweighed the benefits for me.

Dacha Delights Rabbit Ears Treats
Price and where to buyThese treats can be found on Ozon, Wildberries, and Yandex Market.
I bought 10 packs for 838 rubles over a year ago on Ozon, and it worked out cheaper that way.
Now, the price is 120-264 rubles per pack (Yandex Market has the best price), and 10 packs cost between 1200 and 1699 rubles. The price has gone up, but these treats are still budget-friendly.
Packaging and appearance
The treats come in a small plastic bag with a window, so you can see the ears inside.

My Experience with Them
The ears have a scent, but it\u2019s not overpowering. If your dog takes them for a walk around the apartment, nothing will get dirty or smell bad.

Rabbit Ears TreatsI used to give him the whole ear, but one time he wolfed it down like a stray, barely chewing it. A few days later, the treat came back out the same hole, soggy and half-chewed. That was a pretty gross experience, so I started cutting them in half with kitchen scissors and haven't bought them since.
Rabbit Ears TreatsTo be honest, I'm not a fan of using these treats for training or walks. Even my food-motivated pup takes a while to finish a quarter of an ear, especially the thicker part. And before that, he'll play with it for a bit or stash it somewhere. I'm not a fan of the 5-15 minute wait for a single command. It's not ideal for training, but it's great for distracting or rewarding things like nail trimming.
Rabbit Ears Treats Munching AwayI stopped buying them because of how my pup doesn't thoroughly chew them, and because we use them more for walks and training. For that, we prefer meaty pieces. Cutting these up into smaller pieces is a pain, and for longer chew sessions, we use an elk antler XL. 😂Useful Tips for Dog Owners:
