Highlighted Reviews

— Sandra

"These dental chews keep my Doxie busy for a awhile as he loves to chew! At the last Vet visit I was told his teeth were in very good shape for a dog his age (he's almost 9). I don't brush them, I just give him Dental Chews so, they must work!"

— Summer

"These made my doggo vomit and choke because they are so hard. Will not be purchasing this one again unfortunately"
