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

They are soft. Not like cookie crumbly soft. More like brownies when you leave them in the oven a little too long. I love these. They help with separation anxiety, to sleep calmly through the night, or just to relax. I fill their kongs with pb and then stick one of these inside.

If the teeth were pulled recently, I would say "no" for sure. If it has been awhile, these are pliable compared to others we have tried with our senior dogs so your dog might do fine. I would, as someone else suggested, buy one of the smaller packs to start with since some dogs are picky (mine) and won't chew just anything.

My Maltese mix and larger dog both love them, but they may be too large unless you break them up. They are also crunchy. Both dogs do love them. I used to be able to buy similar treats in pet stores around here, but I need to buy them on line now. Hope this helps you.

They aren't yummy treats, but I wrap them in lunch meat or stick them on a chicken strip with a little peanut butter and one dog gobbles them up. The other dog is a little more challenging, but it never comes down to shoving it down his throat. It's worth any trouble because they are pain free and moving better.

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!

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.

They are chewable pills but are on the harder side. I can break them in half easily for my smaller dog but when my pups chew them you can hear a crunch so to me, they're on the harder side but if your doggy has trouble chewing them, you could easily just crush them into smaller pieces...

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

They are soft, but you have to be careful to watch the expiration date on the packaging. If it is not several months out then they can become dry. I stopped buying them online first because of the price change (but has since gone back down), but also it's hit and miss with the softness. I only buy in the store where I can see the expiration date and look at the color of the treats. The darker the softer.

I haven't found anything like them. My dog loves these. They can sometimes be a bit hard to find. Nylabone Healthy Edibles are long lasting chews my dog enjoys, but they are still rawhide and because I have to watch my dog's weight, I don't buy them nearly as often as Dreambones.

They are not crispy. They are softer, more leathery and chewy. Hope this helps.

I wanted to answer this older question just because my answer differs from the others. We have a very small dog and he can chew it for a few hours but it still lasts until I throw the remainder away or it could sit there for a few days but I opt to give him a fresh one. They are just the right thickness and are a long lasting and fantastic treat for him! They are definitely a rawhide and the best I have ever found anywhere.

No, they are hard and crunchy (they are hard to the touch and sound crunchy when she's eating them), which is probably one way they clean the teeth. There are some soft treats out there but not Greenies.

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.

My 11-year old lab mix thinks the hard pills are treats--I call her for a "treat," put her on a sit and throw one up in front of her and she catches it in the air and eats it, looking for more after finishing. She will also eat it when I just put it in the bowl with her dry food. My 14-year old papillon, who has bad teeth and weighs only 8 pounds, will eat a half pill only when we put peanut butter on it. I have never tried the soft ones, but perhaps my little pap would prefer those.

I have a picky eater and I call them "cookies" and he eats them without hesitation. I give them to him first thing of a morning after he has gone outside. Our other dogs get a cookie, but, Rex gets a bonelets....
