Are these easier to chew than the regular Kind bars?

Yes the ingredients are not as chunky, softer texture. The only variety that seems to be a harder chew is the Maple Pumpkin Seed with sea salt, but I like the flavor so much I don't mind the consistency.

My husband has full dentures and he chews them with no problems. They aren't hard or sticky and as the other commenter mentioned, if there are biting issues they will soften if held in your mouth.

They are chew-able with flavor but my dog doesn't like it. Maybe because he is on different meds for a long time( he has bone cancer )he got used to that I cover his meds with liverwurst.Tablets are big and he needs to take 3 of them. He weights 100 lbs. As long as I put a little bit of liverwurst with them he eats them without a complain. They help him a lot. I am really happy with that product.

Hi Sue. They are a hard chalky type. The texture as I chewed it even felt different than the Flintstone vitamin which chews and feels more like candy. This just felt different. Hope that helps!

I did not find these to be "frustation free". Most of the chews are stuck in the wrapper so it takes a while between the time you open one and when you can actually put it in your mouth. That was my experience anyway. I ordered the 2 lb bag of mango flavored chews. There was no mango flavor - just the original flavor and they are strong, but I do like them.

Not to chewy. Not that hard either. At times I just tear them since they are chunky, they are easy to tear into small pieces. Be warned, it will get your hands smelly!

you can chew as is. I sometimes oil and salt them, a little more tastier. they are not very bitter at all so they are easier to consume.

They're more soft than they are hard, although by the time you get to the last few in the box, they seem slightly harder. As for using them with dentures as the other commenter mentioned, my husband has full dentures and he has never complained of having any trouble eating them. I have my natural teeth, with some dental reconstruction like a bridge and some crowns, and I use these chews also. They can be a little sticky but not overly so, and whatever is sticky melts away very quickly.

They are not crunchy like a biscuit treat but I wouldn't describe them as a soft treat along the lines of a Zukes Mini Natural or the like. They are of a fairly firm and chewy consistency but still easy to break with the fingers. If the bag has been opened for quite a while though they dry out and get relatively hard.

The tablets are hard but they are actually fairly easy to bite into. I chew them up for a faster onset.

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?

They are both - probably more chewy than crunchy. If you get them FRESH they are crunchier. If you have issues with sticky sweetness, you may want to take a pass on these. The fresher they are, the less they seem sticky sweet. Hope that helps!

Having tried both in the last two months, I can confirm that there are differences. My kids like the taste of both equally, but the standard Animal Parade vitamins taste a little better to me. (But I prefer the Xylitol of the Gold, nutritionally.) More importantly, the Gold vitamins are definitely firmer, less "crumbly," and tougher to chew. I had no worries about my three-year-old's ability to chew the standard Animal Parade, but she definitely has trouble with the Gold version, so these won't work for her.

My kids have been taking these for years. They are definitely completely chewable. They are different than a typical chewable for sure. But they chew the whole thing up and swallow it with no problem. My picky child says they taste a little fishy but not too bad.

I've noticed that they are firmer, yes, but my dog has no trouble chewing them up. Like the one previous answer, we too put just a small amount in a jar with a lid and open the bag only when the jar is empty. I have noticed that the treats will dry out if left open to the air for awhile. Because of my dog's food allergies, they are the only treat he can digest on the market right now so as long as he eats them, I have no complaints. He loves them.

These treats are very hard to chew & don't break apart easily. However, the Jerky Treats by the same manufacturer would make good training treats, because they are easily broken into small pieces & they are not hard to chew. My Italian Greyhound won't eat hard treats & he loves those.
