Are these really hard to chew? Could someone with no teeth get through a bag? Thank-you

You need teeth, they are hard. Just the right crunch. I love them with dip. I prefer this brand to any of the others.

They are thicker than say.. tortilla chips and while they are delicious, might be a bit hard to chew for someone without teeth.

They are very thick and crunchy so I think it would be difficult for someone without teeth.

These are crispy chips. To chew these without teeth would require them to be softened. Perhaps dips in a liquid. They are quite tasty though!

They are hard on the outside but get soft enough to chew a little. These are the big jawbreaker size...not the little ones that come in a box.

Do not know! These chews are wonderful! Not easy for a dog to gulp. They are very hard so that to me freezing would not be necessary, and might change the taste! My dogs, LOVE these better than any chews, and I feel that they keep their teeth free from dental problems.

I ordered mine on line and they were not that hard to chew, never got any from the doctor so nothing to compare to. My bag is all gone so I don't know when they expired. Best thing I can tell you is find something that works for you no matter what and stick with your bariatric program nutrition guidelines for best results. Good luck! :)

My son was eating them before he had teeth. They soften up quickly so it may get messy (and sticky). But without teeth you will have to keep a close eye because the pieces may break off too big for a little one that isn't use to eating something solid. But my son took to them quickly and enjoyed feeding himself.

Not my experience. I received a bag of primarily thin ones. My chewers gulped them down, so that was my first and last bag. There's also a 1-star reviewer stating they were square and too thick. When did you order your last bag? Were they all primarily square or various sizes? If I could get a bag of thick ones, I'd start buying these again.

They can be chewed in half eventually. It's not like one bite and pop. My dog generally creates a puncture then rips it open.

I buy these for two mini schnauzers, 15 & 18 lbs. The 15 lb. female goes through one of them in an hour. The 18 lb. male just chews one until the flavor goes away. From chewing, they become quite gummy and they aren't nearly as thick a chew as they used to be. Out of the 30 in the bag, maybe 10 are heavy duty chews like I want them to have and the other 20 are quite flimsy. I don't think I could recommend them for a larger dog and am not certain that I will even order again for our two little ones. Hope this helps.

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.

Yes, they are relatively soft. They're not like the rock hard mass produced ones we were buying before we found these. We have a very old Jack Russell and a middle aged Yorkie (who has had dental work for bad teeth) and they have no problem with them. The treats are in varying sizes, some quite large, but we cut them up into bite size pieces.

They're hard chew sticks. Not as hard as a bully stick but definitely not soft. I would compare them to chewing a carrot.

They are not as hard as many dog treats are, but they do require the ability to be able to chew, unless you do what I do for one of my senior dogs. I let the treat stand in hot water for about 1 minute, and then he is able to readily eat the treat.

Never had chew them. I have no issue swallowing the pills. If you can handle the taste more power to you.

I haven't had that problem, though I haven't chewed on them myself. Have used them in daycare and they are cleaned twice daily and the most popular chewing toy among the crawlers. I will say they are not ideal if there are dogs around, as the small dog at the place I nanny will chew them up if given the chance.

I dont currently have a bag of these that I could tell you that. I use 6 chews a day post WLS so they never last longer than a month for me. Right now I am using Celebrate calcium chews just for variety

The makers say you should not use if you have missing teeth. I think there may be a choking hazzard, but I'm not sure. If I were your friend, I would suggest to not use them if you have no top teeth.

I've a 4 pound Pom whose 12 this year. Looks young and very healthy but lost jaw teeth to neglect before we met at the pound 5 years ago. Would these be easy for him to chew without too much discomfort?
