Groovies Original Large Chicken Flavor Dental Dog Chews, 12 count

These dental chews are the real deal. First, they do not stink! I repeat, they do not stink! I cannot tell you how many dental chews weirdly smell like fish but these are neutral. The chew has A LOT of internal ridges and the actual chew itself is very firm. It's one consistent shape instead of being tapered which I think helps its strength. My pups both have different needs but these chews helped both of them. My pit/bulldog has what we call calamari breath but these chews have given us a sweet reprieve! My pit/lab mix needs a tougher dental chew because he snaps all of them in two seconds. This chew takes him at least a minute and half. As for ingredients, I enjoy the fact it is minimal ingredients and gluten free. Cillian (pit/lab) is also a white pup which means he's got loads of health issues including allergies. These have been used with him with no side effects!

So firstly I like the size of the dental treat, and they are hard but not break your teeth hard. I have a teething puppy and this dental treat kept her busy for over 20 mins of straight chewing. She also loved the taste, she usually doesn’t sit and chewy something for 10 straight minutes but rather goes back to it ever so often but this she continually chewed till it was gone. The problem I have with these chews is that they are a little spendy and they are not VOHC approved, I just prefer a dental treat that is VOHC approved. However I do think they are decent dental treats, just wish they were more affordable.

My girls love these! I have a 12 year old mixed breed and a 2 year old mini-aussie, both around 30 lbs. I typically feed them kibble in the morning and some type of small, supervised chew at night. These dental chews come in nice packaging and are individually wrapped to maintain freshness once the box is opened. They are medium sized, just right for my 30 lb pups. I've added these to our nightly rotation (once a week) and my girls get so excited when I pull them out. These chews only take two to three minutes for them to eat, so they are not a long-duration chew. I especially love the grooved design that helps scrape away plaque as they chew, keeping their teeth clean. Any treat that contributes to better dental health is a win for me, and I’ll definitely keep these in our rotation!

Our dog loves this product! As you can see from the pics, he was quite excited to open the box and try his new treat - he had to sniff at each step of opening the box! He's usually a fast eater, so it was nice that this dental chew took him some time to eat, and *bonus*, it helps to keep his teeth clean. I like that it's a good size treat for him, and he definitely likes the flavor, because he keeps coming back for more!
