Are these really hard to chew? Could someone with no teeth get through a bag? Thank-you

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

They are thicker than say.. tortilla chips and while they are delicious, might be a bit hard to chew for someone without teeth.

They are very thick and crunchy so I think it would be difficult for someone without teeth.

These are crispy chips. To chew these without teeth would require them to be softened. Perhaps dips in a liquid. They are quite tasty though!

No, my two year old loves them. We've never had to crush them. We just hand one to her and she eats it. The consistency is similar to a chewable vitamin.

The makers say you should not use if you have missing teeth. I think there may be a choking hazzard, but I'm not sure. If I were your friend, I would suggest to not use them if you have no top teeth.

No they are not chewable a but if they are hard to swallow then try smashing them and putting in in your drink or sprinkle on food. I did that numerous times

Yes, they are relatively soft. They're not like the rock hard mass produced ones we were buying before we found these. We have a very old Jack Russell and a middle aged Yorkie (who has had dental work for bad teeth) and they have no problem with them. The treats are in varying sizes, some quite large, but we cut them up into bite size pieces.

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?

Yes, they could be. They are not extremely small and they are very tough. My son often complained about how hard to chew they were- he wanted to chew through them. They are very durable!

They are not chewable....I've changed to Piping Rock vitamins (available on line from Piping Rock Vitamin site)...I've never purchased chewables. All I have gotten are either gel or powder inside. Have you done a search on line with "chewable" in the search line? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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!

I haven't had a problem with them being hard or stuck together. I cut them to give my Cavalier Spaniel half a chew per day and have no difficulty. The newest bag wasn't any different than previous ones. The date code on my bag is 04/2016.

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

They are hard. A little harder than a dentistick. My dogs loves them. But they are only 8 & 4

I never have had this problem in almost a year's ordering. I do get them from Bariatric Advantage and you should check the expiration date, but if they are hard, then I would write directly to them (or better yet, call) and nicely ask for a replacement bag as your bag is inedible. They are a big enough company I'm sure they would be happy to help you. Yes, they should be soft and chewy. I do keep mine in a plastic container after opening the bag to help preserve freshness for the month's supply (and I only order one month at a time). Good luck! I love mine!!

They are hard on the outside but get soft enough to chew a little. These are the big jawbreaker size...not the little ones that come in a box.

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.

mice are know to chew through alot of things... in my opinion, i think the would be able to chew through the bag if they were determained.

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).
