WOW!!! THIS WORKS FAST!!!I wish I had taken before and after photos!!! In less than ONE WEEK, my dog's yellow tartar and plaque coated teeth are white!!! I wouldn't believe this if I didn't see it with my own eyes!!! I didn't get this for free or any discount. I am not being compensated for this review!!!I contacted my vet and they gave me a list of approved products to help with oral care)Back to results...So, my young adult dog had come to us with advanced oral build up. No decay, just super yellow teeth with visible tartar and plaque. Her breath was rank! ICK!In less than one week, after adding this food to her current Hills food, it acted as super miracle scrubbers doing a wonderful job faster than I could have ever dreamed!!!This worked like those commercials that show dogs yellow icky teeth getting white with one swipe.I don't think this will help with decaying teeth... But for breath and tartar/plaque this is a WIN!I still see yellow at the gum line, but each time I look at her teeth the get whiter and whiter!NOW Breath...I literally would gag when her mouth would get close to my nose. I would have to wash my hand, arm or anywhere she licked me because her breath was so funky! I would not believe this if I didn't see it! Her breath is so neutral now all I smell is food. This makes me so happy because the teeth cleaning would have been dangerous for her to stay under for a longer period. Also, it costs so much more than this bag of dog food.We were going to have our baby's teeth cleaned while she is spayed, but now we won't have to pay for or keep her under anesthesia longer to get her dental care.***OLD REVIEW: (kept so you can see that my dogs did not choke or have issue with chewing them.)So, my YORKIES love this food, but for 4 pound dogs, these are WAAAAAY too big to give them whole. They will choke!These are about a half an inch wide and a half an inch long.Some are larger.I have to use a nutcracker to break them and give them to my babies.The package says SMALL AND MINI. I don't know what small and mini means to you, but I think 4 pound dogs are SMALL AND MINI and these are not!As for the teeth, and if this helps with their plaque or tartar, don't know yet.It will take me a week to crack all the pieces to serve to my babies!
The kibble is huge, like 1/2 inch diameter.Not for smaller dogs as it is too difficult for them to bite. I am literally crushing each one with pliers let's make a manageable for my dog so I don't waste my money.
I have 2 miniature schnauzers, and these are the perfect size for them. I used to have the regular size, and they struggled to crush them with their jaws. This size is perfect. They like the flavor. I give them a few at night to clean their teeth, and I also give them out as treats. Feels good to do that, knowing they help with their dental health. They aren't high fat, so that is good too.
