PERFECT!!!
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!

Not for toy/small dogs. This is actually for medium to large dogs
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.

Love from Every Paw: A Nutritious & Tasty Dog Food Choice
My dogs absolutely love this dog food. I think the shape and texture remind them of treats or human food because even my momâs usually picky chihuahua was eating this food from my dogsâ bowl. As for helping with cleaning their teeth, Iâm not sure if thereâs a significant difference, but at the very least, the food doesnât worsen their teeth. Overall, Iâm very happy with the price, value, and Hill Science brand, and Iâll stick with this dog food!One interesting note is that this dog food completely changes the texture of your dogâs poop, in my opinion, for the better. I find that it makes it easier to pick up and itâs not slimy at all!

Not for small or toy dogs.
Very misleading product. This product is definitely not for small or tiny breeds. The ” kibble” is hugeMy 10lb 13yo terrier sniffed it & has refused to eat it – even crunches up tiny in treats or soft food. Waste of money .

Does what it says
It is certainly a large kibble for small dogs but our 5lb Maltipoo loves it. 4lb bag lasts her about 5-6 weeks.

A tough review
Oof. This is a tough one to review. My mini Dauschund has very stinky breath and is extremely resistant to teeth brushing. After only about a week this has greatly improved the smell of her breath HOWEVER these pieces are massive. Every single time she eats them, at least one piece ends up stuck between her back molars. Once it gets on her back molars, it’s too big for her to open her jaw any further to move it but for whatever reason she cannot chomp down hard enough to break it apart. There have also been a few times where it gets stuck next to her back molars between her teeth and her cheeks- and again, she cannot open her jaw enough to get the piece to move. I’ve considered crushing them into smaller pieces but I’m not sure if that would defeat the purpose.. would it still clean her teeth if it’s crushed smaller? I don’t know.I’ve also started giving it to my Old English Sheepdog, who is around 50 pounds. She has no issues with it.Overall, it works but it’s really not a safe option for small dogs even though it’s supposed to be made specifically for small dogs.

Great food, way too big for most small dogs
Iâve been using this food as a topper for my older, medium (48 pound) dog. She still has really nice teeth and Iâm trying to keep it that way. These seem to help clean off some of the plaque (obviously nothing is as good as brushing). My dog really likes the crunchiness of these and acts like theyâre a treat. Sheâs usually pretty picky. I worry about the size of these kibble though. Theyâre about the size of a tater tot for lack of a better comparison. I would worry about these being a possible choking hazard for a small dog that doesnât like to chew or a small dog not liking the kibble because of the size. As with anything, supervise while your dog is eating and these can be a great food/addition to your dogâs diet.

Dogs love it.
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.

I liked that it was a smaller bag but I think I prefer the larger pieces

Great product and the chihuahuas love them. I have to cut them in half as theyâre pretty big for the small dogs. Works great & needed to give them something to help clean treat after having the expensive tooth extraction surgery. Need to keep the other remaining clean! So best to spend on quality dog food or pay the price of expensive surgery
