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 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

If you have an issue with swallowing them, they do chew easily. Although the flavor has a shellfish quality to them. I'm not someone who can swallow medium to large pills, and I wound up chewing them.

There is no give, they are hard plastic, you'd have to bite pretty darn hard to break it.

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.

Yes, my bag came with all the chews stuck together and I had to take them all apart. And yes, the chews are pretty hard but our dog(age11) is able to enjoy them.

A puppy would be able to chew these depending on how large your dog is . Once these balls have a hole in them they can be flattened or crushed very easily.. They get their strength from being air ttight my 3 year old can easily crush these if he chews them for long enough . He has never been able to tear off any plastic they stay intact well after being crushed so I have never been scared of him choking on a small bit of plastic. I would say supervision would be required

Yes, they can be chewed, but they shoot out the liquid like a gusher. It doesn't smell good/taste very good. I have one kid who eats them like vitamins, chews it up; the other won't touch it and we cut it open and pour into juice.

My husband took them, I did not. He did not care for them as he still complained of fish burps. He does not recall them being very small but he did say they were not hard to swallow. Hope that helps!

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.

I have not tried to chew them and I am waiting for my next bottle. When I get it, I will try and let you know. Of any pill I have taken, they are very easy to swallow. You prob could cut them in half and that would make it easier to take. They are similar to a football in shape, oval.

They are very hard, with just slightly more give that Nylabones. I'm very happy with them because they dent just very slightly, instead of tiny plastic pieces coming off in the gums like Nylabones.

Nope...I just smash them for my boy cuz he is missing alot of teeth, but I see the do make soft chews probably like a heartworm pill, but they cost more...I see they do sell the soft chews..dont know if on amazon

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 aren't soft, definitely about as tough as a bully stick or a rawhide - so use your best judgement I guess. My little elderly schnauzer mix does fine with it, and our friend's pom eats it like a cracker.

these are a bit crunchy...would not recommend for a pup with few teeth..the Milos brand is pretty good and most of those treats are soft...hope this helps

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.
