Kind of crunchy, but thin - around 1/4" thick, so easy to chew as opposed to some half-inch thick biscuits.

They are crunchy. Wellness has a soft treat which you might want to consider. Our dog loves both.

Not sure what the one person that answered was talking about--these taste really bad...certainly nothing like a regular, delicious and sweet candy bar. they start out with an ok flavor, but as you chew the center there's this really bad/fake taste that comes out strong...this is what i imagine dog biscuits taste like. but whatever, they're fairly low calorie for a lot of protein and yet weigh in at a hefty 50g...so i wouldn't expect them to "taste great." to be fair, i'm a "foodie" and love great flavorful food. but i also eat light sometimes and workout often. for comparison, my protein shakes i make with water, as well as other protein bars i've bought, taste much better than these.

Yes they are soft. We have 2 dogs that much prefer the softer treats opposed to the milk bone type treats. We have been using them for at least 5 years. Hope that helped. Randy L.

Depending on which teeth have been pulled. My dogs use their canines to munch on those, they are meant for teeth cleanings so they're not soft. I would recommend that you use Greenies instead. They are excellent, my dogs love the taste and they are a little softer than the Dentastix. Dentastix is my budget version. I buy that when I've gone over pet budget for the previous month. Otherwise I give them Greenies but the Pedigree item is very good also.

Hi Jon R.,It's a tablet. Crunchy like a cookie. Not a soft treat, but not a hard bone either. My pups love them, think they are treats. Chew them up easily.

I get the chewable. at first, my dog would eat thosewithout mixing them with anything. However she did quit accepting them after a while. So now I cross them and mix them in with her breakfast food. although technically they aren't supposed to be taken with food, it's the only way I can get her to eat them and my vet said it was okay, better than her not getting them at all.the chewable are larger in size than the regular tablets, but much easier to crush. I use a mortar and pestle, just in case you can't get your dog to chew them

These treats are suppose to hard like a cookie . They are not intended to be soft or chewy. My chihuahua loves them.

I, like others here, don't know the calories. however, you can go to their web site, (google blue dog bakery) and they have all the information on their products. I went there when I first started using the products.full disclosure, I stopped using their products as the ones I wanted were not available, and the other treats were so hard that I had to use a hammer and plastic bag to break them up. If they are that hard, the dogs will have a tough time crunching them, and that would not be good for their teeth.

My lab won't eat the pills either. I make a big deal out of the chews like they are an after meal treat. I cut them into pieces (x8) and feed them to her which she loves. When I first got them for her I crumbled one onto her food (can + dry) like Parmesan cheese on spaghetti. Maybe you can buy some samples from your vet to see what your dog thinks before you buy a whole bag...my dog is 14 and still walks 1-2 miles with me at a slow pace.

These are very small heart shaped soft chews. A small dog would have no problem chewing them. My dog loves them

Hi Jo Anne; the individually wrapped ones, once you get the first few chewy layers off, are hard. The smaller ones that come in boxes are chewy. Hope this helps!

I didn't experience that with my dog's treats. However, I would check with the manufacturer for their recommendation. (NOTE: I have added bread to hard cookies, etc. to soften in the past. Not sure if that would work here?)

Yes, they are chewable and my dogs love them! My dogs think these are treats - I highly recommend!

They're made of a hard plastic, your dog will not be able to chew on it. They have a hard time getting the treat out as it is...they're pretty sturdy, will last for yrs.

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.

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.
