Highlighted Reviews
"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 Reese’s 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 don’t know. "
Bottom Line
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.
