These dental treats are generally well-received, but there are concerns about cats swallowing them whole and the nutritional value. The shape and size are designed to encourage chewing, but some cats ignore this and ingest the entire treat, negating the dental benefits. The treats are easy to add to your cat's routine and seems to help with dental hygiene over time, but buyers should be aware that multiple treats are recommended daily which can impact nutritional balance. The packaging and combination items are also concerns to some buyers.

Yes, though these aren't technically dental for dogs but some buyers have stated they are applicable to the dogs.
"I have one cat that has some gum issues, and does not like to chew(thus the need for dental treats). He chews these because of the shape, so that is very helpful in getting the teeth clean. The other cats really like them too."
"Long story short, these are big enough (the size of Reeseβs Puff cereal) that cats SHOULD have to chew them and thus reap the dental cleaning benefits. Alas, my greedy bum of a cat (only 10 pounds but obsessed with food) still insists on swallowing them whole. Why? I donβt know. "
If you have a gluttonous cat, do consider this option carefully as the treats may not provide the dental benefits you expect. Its savory flavor and design can encourage certain pets to chew as intended and overall is seen as a good deal, however it can be nutritionally lacking and you might want to consider weiging that option and whether it would interact with the standard balance of the pet.
