Milk-Bone Brushing Chews Daily Dental Treats - Small/Medium Value Pack, 22 Ounce - 28 Bones

Perfect for our pet.

My dog had his teeth cleaned months ago. I was sent home with instructions on brushing his teeth at least three times a week, keeping him off human food and on a diet of dried food designed to assist in cleaning his teeth. In addition, I was given a bag containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a sample of these Milk-Bone Brushing Chews Daily Dental Treats. They are excellent. My dog loves them and will happily wait until his teeth are brushed, knowing that he will receive one of these afterwards. Even on the occasion, while I cook, that he begs (and jumps up in the air) for a taste of human food, he is more than happy to grab hold of one of these Brushing Chews.That said, ever since I was warned that my dog had the beginnings of dental disease, I have brushed his teeth virtually every day, not just the bare minimum of three times a week. I use CET Poultry Toothpaste, and a CET toothbrush. (This is in addition to his special, prescription food that is meant to assist in maintaining dental health). Months later, his teeth still look healthy and white, as if he just got back from a cleaning. It is not possible for me to say to what percentage these Milk-Bone Chews Daily Dental Treats are responsible. However, I can say that he is 100% happy with receiving them every time, no matter what else is cooking on the stove and, presumably, no matter how he dislikes and is perplexed by a my brushing his teeth every day.Treats are a daily and necessary part of every dog's life. These are a bit on the expensive side. But on the other hand, it is more expensive to place a dog under anesthesia in order to scale and pull his teeth while addressing gum gum and periodontal disease caused by neglecting the dog's oral care. Certainly, daily dental chews are far safer than any procedure requiring anesthesia.In sum, I've had dogs for twenty years. I am in earnest to keep this dog healthy and leading a long and comfortable life. That includes seeing to his oral care, so that not only is his mouth in no distress but that he is subject to a minimum risk of disease that can originate in his mouth and spread to other organs causing him to suffer premature illness.If you are going to care for your dog's teeth and gums, I do recommend these Daily Dental Treats, together with other aggressive attention to keeping your dog's teeth and gums healthy for years to come.

MY HUSBAND GIVES THESE TREATS TO OUR GOLDEN RETRIEVER AS REWARDS FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR ORANY OTHER OCCASION THAT MAY COME UP.

I have a 7 lb Yorkshire terrier mix. Like many little dogs, she has way too much personality and is a bit of a diva. She turns her nose up regularly at gourmet dog treats and will even decline table scraps. She has never, however, turned down a Milk-Bone Brushing Chew. We are going on 3 years with this product and she is still as excited to get her brushing bone today as she was when we first introduced them years ago.These are well-sized for a small dog and though the average time it takes her to get through a chew has decreased dramatically, from around 20 minutes to maybe 3, I do believe that the nubs and grooves help her maintain dental health. Brushing her teeth his like trying to wrestle a tiny alligator and (don't judge me) I have given up. She gets a thorough annual dental cleaning at the vet and always gets a clean bill of health.We have tried the  Milk-Bone Brushing Chews Fresh Breath Dog Treats (1 Pack), 22 oz , Mini  and, while she likes these too, there was no noticeable improvement in her breath to justify the price premium. When we first started dental chews, we used the  PEDIGREE DENTASTIX Toy/Small Dog Chew Treats, Original, 84 Treats . Even though these typically offer a lower price per chew, I think that the Milk-Bone variety does a better job with teeth cleaning. The X-shape of the Pedigree treat is too large to really get into the grooves between a small dog's teeth.

I have a large dog (Pyrenees mix) who is a little over 2 years old. These are her carnassial teeth, eating dry food only and receiving these treats nightly for about a year, I think. These teeth are the most likely (aside from the canines) to accumulate tartar & calculus. They aren't perfect, & I definitely need to get going on brushing her teeth. I can see some beginning to stick on there, which is about average for her young age. The treats are probably helping a little, but are not a replacement for brushing! That being said, as others said these last much longer than Greenies or any other dental treat we've tried, so I'm happy to continue to offer them. It's useless for dental "cleaning" if she chews them up in a few seconds. They also make her happy- she really loves them, & though often ditzy about commands, every night she runs to her bed and lays down, eagerly waiting, the second she hears the bag crinkle or I mention her "cookie." I'd estimate we get about a couple minutes of chew time vs. 10 seconds or so with about every other brand (even large ones.)

Bought for my pooch who has dirty teeth at the back. I have been managing his teeth at home as he is old with a heart murmur so general anaesthetic is not desirable and these have really helped get those teeth that I cannot reach.

Super! My dogs loved these, will be repurchasing.
