Highlighted Reviews
"My cat ended up needing eleven teeth pulled. To my defense, I adopted him that way and did not know that he had this problem. Eventually, he finished up the bag but does not have very many teeth. I do believe that they helped some at the time, but he had a hard time chewing them"
"My cats wouldn’t eat them. They were also super hard. They ended up in the trash."
Bottom Line
Good for dental health, but some cats may not enjoy the treats, and they are not VOHC approved.
