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

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.)

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

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.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

I'll answer by saying that I have a 12 yr old rescue dog from the pound. She never had any care for her teeth and has bad teeth and has lost several. She absolutely loves these CET petite chews and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Also her remaining teeth have really whitened up.

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

Yes, they are meant to be chewed. The last batch we bought did have a bit of a fishy taste to them, but it's not unbearable. We just ordered a new batch, so we'll see how they are.

If your little shih tsu has any trouble chewing then I wouldn't get them as they are fairly hard. If not then they are fine. My older cockapoo who was twelve didn't chew them at all but my younger four year old cockapoo liked them and had no trouble.Hope this helps you to decide.

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

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.

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.

They are soft and chewy for my old girl Ling Ling I break them in half. Ling Ling is missing a few teeth. My youngster at 5yrs Merlin gets 5 pcs am and 5 pcs pm he has weak hip bone.

The are really soft and chewy. My kids, 4 and 2, both love them. They're a great healthy snack for the entire family! Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

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.

I also have dogs with few to no teeth and that is the reason that I bought them. These are very soft and can be easily crumbled too.

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?
