Their perfectly fine for non aggressive chewers as long as they are the medium or large dog size, and never the small size Euro Star shaped ones..

She isn't an aggressive chewer. She stores them in her mouth pouches and then takes them to her bedroom or kitchen and stores them. She has food and treats (honey loops, honey sticks, millet, etc...) for days before they're all gone. I've only given her the XXS toothbrush shaped ones. I'm not sure what you mean by Euro Star shaped ones. A Google search landed me reading about a Tram Train and Troyes.
Petco only carries that Stix (S, M, L) Toothbrush (XXS, XS, S, M, L) Hedgehog (one size) Alligator (S, L), Veggie sticks (S Flat, L Flat, S Round, L Round), Veggie Ear (One Size), and Crossbone (haven't had in ages).
Thank you for the warning though.
