Highlighted Reviews
"My dog refuses to eat the other type of Yummy Combs but loses his dog mind for these! I coat them in toothpaste so he’s kinda brushing his teeth. It takes him about 15 minutes to complete and he’s missing most of his back teeth and has half of his front. Highly recommend!"
"These got one star only because my dog actually seemed to like the flavor. These are rock hard, can’t believe these are approved by veterinary oral health. And the shape is hard for a little chihuahua to maneuver and not choke on the big chunks that broke off. I had to take it away from her."
Bottom Line
Highly recommend Yummy Combs for dental care, especially for small breed dogs. Check for any tough consistency and portion to smaller pets such as chihuahuas. Careful attention required to ensure dogs can chew them safely.
