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

hi, i just got these from the vet. my mini doxie just had her canine teeth pulled in december, and yes, she still eats these treats. she also has had 6 other teeth taken out, so, somehow, she can still work on these. the vet, highly recommended them. i have three dogs (10 yr old terrier, 8 yr old doxie and a puppy), they all trade off on these treats. the doxie usually will take the treat after it is worked on by the other dogs, but she does chew them.

They are supposed to be hard as they are a dental treat. The chewing process helps them get the tartar off their teeth. If he can't chew them, he may have an issue with his teeth and/or gums.

they are crunchier than a greenie's pill pocket. They are pretty easy to crush, but they are definitely dry. I don't know if your dog can crunch anything without teeth. They are probably the consistency of a trisquit cracker (for people).

I had not noticed any but I just went and stuck my face in the bag and no they don't. My dog is picky about snacks and she eats them fine. As I said she is only 5 1/2 lb.so I have to break them in half even though they are small and are soft to chew. I want to echo the answer before mine THESE ARE NOT TREATS use them as directed.

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.

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 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.

We use Lean Treats, I think that is what they are called. They are soft and malleable, allowing me to squeeze them a bit so they fell out easily. Takes a bit of effort though. Quite a lot of fun for our dog.

They last longer than a chewy, but not as long as a real bone. I bread them in half, and it takes my mini poodle 15-20 minutes and my Chihuahau/poodle about 1/2 hour to get through one. I don't know how long it would take a larger dog.

No, they're a good, but small treat you can give more liberally for training without ruining their diet. They're roughly the size of an average piece of kibble, but soft.

They are sort of in between. They aren't very soft and not quite crunchy. They should not be hard. If you got Composure that is very hard they might be old or stale. I can easily break mine in half for my cat. Also, you are calling them treats. They are not actually treats but medicinal to calm cats down.

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.

Yes Nancy, tbonz are soft. My dog loves them. He also has a problem with hard bones and and is a really picky eater. these are perfect for him. and according to Nikko , quite tasty as well, Ha Ha. he prefers the porterhouse flavor

My dog will not touch these treats, but they are not soft. I would call them hard and crunchy ---but they are not of the chicken jerky style my boy likes.

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. :)
