Hi there Catherine, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your child's Gingerbread Man Chewable Pendant didn't last as long as expected. Firm and frequent chewers can go through chews quickly. It might be useful to perhaps explore the Ark chews, where there are choices of different chew firmness. Please feel free to reach out ot us if you would like to discuss other possible options.
