Soft and chewy. But they will not melt like a candy bar will. They are safe therefore for backpacking in hot weather: no melt!

The bars are soft and chewy, some of them have tiny bits of nuts in them but not large pieces. Hope that helps!

I don't think I would give them to a child under three. The nuts can be big enough to choke a toddler, IMHO

I eat these almost every day and once in a while there is a whole or nearly whole almond in the bar. Therefore, I wouldn't give it to a 2 year old, I think it's too much of a choking hazard.

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 find them to be very chewable. If you have trouble chewing things, just let them melt in your mouth. They remind me of a caramel. I actually like the chocolate ones, but my dtr loves the caramel. Its like having a little dessert. :)

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!

Yes, they are hard, but then they are dental treats and are to clean the teeth. My cats haven't had any troubles. Maybe like your cat is used to something softer, or like another person said, you might have a stale bag.

They are very crunchy, to help with dental issues. My cats haven't a problem, even the one who has less than half of his teeth left (15+). Perhaps they are stale? But in any case, they aren't meant to be soft. (My cats eat some canned, mostly raw, so crunchy is a treat to them.)

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

No in my opinion. Very hard & dry. My 4 yr old would not eat & she loves treats. Very Disappointedin product

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.

I would say this brand is somewhat soft...similar to the texture of a hard gooey raisen. Reminds me of taffy that doesn't want to leave your teeth....This brand of Goji Berries are more on the low end...and yes, it's nicely priced...These are great for smoothies but not for snacking!

The cookies come in fours different flavors: beef, chicken, liver, and lamb. That's why they have different colors too. In theory, the cookies have natural flavor because no artificial ones have been added. So far, they look kind of dry, but non- greasy at all as other snacks. My Baby is allergic so she cannot eat anything greasy or with artificial components. She likes them and they seem to be healthy for her; at least, not bad for her allergy.For the price, they are a really good choice.

They look raw to me. I bought them on few occasions and give one package to my son. He is against roasted nuts and strictly paleo, he never complained.

My 3year old loves them and they're not too hard for her. They're gummy candy style- so a little tougher than a gummy bear. If you warm them up they get softer.

They are not round but not scratch you skin sharp. I have a almost 3 yr. old and 1 yr old and neither of them have been injured by them. I mean they are blocks so if they are thrown hard the cornes could do damage. But I would say they are the nicest blocks you could find. I was unsure of the price,but I am very pleased. Walmart sells a set of 16 blocks the brand is Garanimals and they are like $9 the have animals and colors and shapes on them,maybe try those first?? ot sure how old your kids are,but those blocks are also very nice and not sharp :)

They are hard candies. You suck on them until they dissolve. They don't get soft or chewy.

I haven't tried them myself but we just put them in the bowl with our dog's dry food and she eats them right along with the food. They are a little softer than dry food. Our dog is ten lbs. so we give a half pill twice daily. She was limping when she would get up and no longer does that. Been using at least one year.

They are hard, but not as hard as a raw hide. My 10 year old carries it around for awhile, and then eats it in one sitting.
