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!

Royal Canin Dental

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.

Great food
By Krysi on May 30, 2019
My dogs enjoy this food very much! You can always tell an amazing formula by your baby’s coat, energy, and poop. Their hair has been so glossy since I switched over to this food. I love that the bites are too huge for them to eat all at once. It forces them to slow down and eat only what they need to. Over all very satisfied with this product and very satisfied with chewy!

Finally, a prescription dental dry food for small dogs that also tastes good.
By OliverGracieMom on Mar 9, 2019
Thanks to the vet tech support at Chewy, I was able to learn that the Royal Canin T/D dry dog food is approximately 5/8 of an inch, which my dog can chew & swallow without choking. Hills T/D for small dogs is one inch in diameter. The Royal Canin T/D has an appealing taste for my dog. He enjoys it and does not spit it out. I put them in his dog treat jar and he begs for them. Thank you Chewy!

My finicky dog likes this dry dog food as treats (the pieces are too big to serve with her food). The bag is huge and should last for her lifetime and more.

Senior Dog
By Becka on Nov 12, 2018
My friend who is a veterinarian recommended this food for my 12 yr old small breed dog. In an effort to boost improve his dental health I gave it a try. My dog liked it right away. I do moisten the kibble before I give it to him. My friend also said 2 main things she recommends for all dog owners is yearly blood work and yearly teeth cleaning.

Bigger than they say it is
By Arlene on Nov 10, 2018
I bought this Dental formula to help keep the remaining few teeth in my two dogs as healthy as they could be. Unfortunately, though it's specially for small breeds, my 5 pound poodle can not chew them. She does like the taste but it doesn't do her any good to just be able to put it in her mouth and then have it fall out.
