It is recommended that your dog be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day.
Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Can I use a veterinarian's authorization if it was written by a veterinarian out of state? Yes. We accept valid authorizations from anywhere in the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico.
Why do I need a veterinarian's authorization?

Yes, but we'll need them to contact us and provide the full name of the pet's owner after the order is placed. This is so the veterinary clinic can locate your pet's records when we contact them. Email us at vetdiet@chewy.com or call us 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399.

dental chews
By Shadow on Jan 3, 2021
It was all right but I had bought some dental treats in Canada before from my vet and that is what I wanted, not the food like what I got from you. The treats are a little bigger than the food and Shadow is on the gastrointestinal food so that is not what I really wanted, but I guess it is better than nothing since I can't go to Canada right now.

My dog with the bad teeth loves it.
By Fred on Oct 15, 2020
The other one, not as much. It works out fine. I was going to use this for treats, but he swallowed them whole. When I mix it with his regular food, he picks it out and chews it. I might need to make this his only food since he doesn't eat his other food much now. I guess he won't starve himself and he needs to lose a pound or two anyway. I don't know if it is helping his teeth. It is too soon to tell.

Yummy snack
By Renegade on Oct 29, 2020
I have 4 small Yorkshire Terriers and I use these kibbles as a treat. They absolutely love them and these kibbles are so good for their little teeth.

Big hit with the dogs
By Maggie101 on Jun 21, 2020
I have two Chihuahua-mix rescues whose teeth need brushing every day. Someone suggested I try Royal Canin dental small breed dry food. I checked with my vet and he approved it. Since my dogs are little and the dry food pieces seem large for a small dog, I used a suggestion I saw on this site to feed a couple of pieces like treats after each meal. The dogs really love it and get very excited when they see me reach for the "treats." I still brush their teeth, but I like the added benefit of this food.

Perfect for our small (13 pound) dog!
By sls4982 on Nov 26, 2019
My sweet dog has teeth issues (Westie mix). We had been feeding her small bites, but after her dental work, the vet recommended this to help with the plaque on her teeth. She had a couple teeth pulled, but still able to eat these! So far so good! Just make sure you have a prescription from your vet. Chewy is amazing and works with your vet once you submit the info!

Saving Teeth
By ClaireB on Sep 22, 2019
Our little Pom kept loosing teeth each year no matter what we did! She gets heavy plaque even though we take good care of them. The vet gave us a sample of this food & another brand. The other brand pieces were too big and hard (she had to have 11teeth pulled!). This food she likes, and even better seems to be helping!

I have 2 Maltese. Neither dog will eat this food. Tried everything. Wrapped in Turkey both spit the dog food out. Kernals are too big. 8 lbs of dog food wasted.

Nice size for small dogs
By QuiltMom on Jun 27, 2019
I was purchasing the large kibble for my Chihuahuas but had to cut it with a knife as they would choke. This was very messy. Then found you has small dog size. Convenient, but my girls won’t chew it, they swallow it like pills. Not much good at cleaning the teeth this way. Contemplating what to do.
