"Tried the Blue Buffalo ones but felt like my dogs breath stunk worse with those. Switched over to these and not only does my pup love them but her breath smells a whole lot better. I like how there is a nice balance of mint to other flavor ratio. And we have seen an improvement to her teeth staining..."

"My dog is only 40lbs and she can eat this in 2 bites. She likes it but it’s way too small for her to actually chew on. So it doesn’t work as a dental chew for us."
