Dollarama always does this with their dog treats. Every year or so there is either one less treat in the pack, the actual treats get shorter, or looser wound to look the same size but now more hollow, or the price goes up 50c. My dogs used to chew them for 15 minutes to a half hour. Now they're a soggy mess within a couple minutes, so they don't get much chewing in from those same treats these days. My elder dog chews until it becomes soggy, then abandons it for a few days until it's hard again. It's really annoying because they never used to get soggy at all.
What used to have 6 in the pack is now 4 shorter, less dense, more expensive, yet packaged to look like nothing happened. All in only 4 years time!
It might be that consumers have to get into the habit of writing down sizes and prices of what they buy in order to witness first hand how they get short changed so often, but in a non-apparent way meant to deceive you at every step.

- ksaj 4y agoYes, to be fair the good version of these treats, at Pet Smart, cost double the price.
