Healthy and long lasting dog chews - ideas?

Our big dog goes through chews seemingly like they’re made of marshmallow. He isn’t interested in real bones, so I need something he will like the taste of, that is healthy (not rawhide), and will last.
Amy ideas?

Hextra CET chews. They help with keeping the teeth clean and breath not getting out of control. They also are designed to break down easier so you avoid potential obstructions.
Dont give raw hides, bones, antlers, etc.

I'll try, but these seem like something my dog would destroy and swallow quickly. So thin? Maybe they'll surprise me.

I have labs and it takes them 15-20 roughly. The chews can vary between thin and very thick so it just depends on which one you give them.

Lacrosse balls. I have two Goldens ranging from 90-110 pounds. They last forever. In fact none of them have broken down after years of use. They love them. They bounce like crazy.

My Ridgebacks love cow hooves, vets differ on their safety but my vet has always said they were fine and I have been giving them to my dogs for ~30 years with no problems. If a dog tends to bolt food when you move toward them they could be an issue when they grind them down to almost swallowing size. We usually toss them when they start getting small.
They are usually about $1.25 each which makes them one of the most economical hard chews. BTW Chewy has treats 40% off when you buy food right now. I have to admit we love Chewy the food is cheaper than in town plus a 5% discount with autoship and they have specials all the time. Last week they had 30 dollar online gift cards if you spent $100, you could do it up to three times. We did it twice and the first $30 was applied to the second purchase.

I’ve had incredible luck with Elk Horns. They’re expensive, but they last a long while

Yak cheese. Red barn stuffed bones, last a long time. Can stuff it yourself once they clean it out. They do break down over time so I toss once the bone can fit into mouth. But it takes a long time. Marrow bones. Can restuff when marrow gone.
Stay away from those awful smoked bones.

Bones. Yes actual bones. A cow femur lasts a good long while.

You’re dog is stupid if he isn’t interested in real bones. Try deer antlers
