"My Lhasa Apso hasn’t required teeth cleaning for 10 years (his age). The new, soft formulation changed everything. He was getting foul breath and tartar and was almost ready for a cleaning. The softer formulation came out, I switched, and it removed all of his tartar and subsequent breath odor. ..."
"I wanted to like this product. I had purchased the regular chew and it was very hard, I reached out to Chewy and received a refund and I purchased the "gentle" chew. Well it comes and OMG it isn't any different than the regular. TOO HARD. I didn't give it to my dog in fear that she'd break her teeth..."
