Highlighted Reviews
"They are outstanding - the texture is more like putty than a hard chew. This allows our dogs to chew them more slowly and the material of the chew actually scrapes their teeth clean...We have not yet needed a cleaning or had any type of dental issues. So, WIN!"
"Without any other changes to Enya's diet, the first Chew caused diarrhea and throw up. We spent the next three days on Rice, Pumpkin and Boiled Chicken to get back to normalcy."
