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

The are very soft and our Golden absolutely loves them - both the chicken and the beef flavor. Be sure to keep the lid on tight as the will harden slightly with time. I would think, even with time, they would still be soft enough for aging teeth. Hope this helps!!!

They are not as hard as many dog treats are, but they do require the ability to be able to chew, unless you do what I do for one of my senior dogs. I let the treat stand in hot water for about 1 minute, and then he is able to readily eat the treat.

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).

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.

If the teeth were pulled recently, I would say "no" for sure. If it has been awhile, these are pliable compared to others we have tried with our senior dogs so your dog might do fine. I would, as someone else suggested, buy one of the smaller packs to start with since some dogs are picky (mine) and won't chew just anything.

I dont currently have a bag of these that I could tell you that. I use 6 chews a day post WLS so they never last longer than a month for me. Right now I am using Celebrate calcium chews just for variety

They are soft, but you have to be careful to watch the expiration date on the packaging. If it is not several months out then they can become dry. I stopped buying them online first because of the price change (but has since gone back down), but also it's hit and miss with the softness. I only buy in the store where I can see the expiration date and look at the color of the treats. The darker the softer.

I'm sorry, but we didn't give it a lot of chance to work. Plus, I brush my dog's teeth and he really doesn't have tartar so I can't really answer. I can tell you that my vet recommended them, and I can tell you that my dog really enjoyed chewing them-but he choked on them too often for my comfort. Sorry, not much help, was I?

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

They are crunchy. Wellness has a soft treat which you might want to consider. Our dog loves both.

These treats are suppose to hard like a cookie . They are not intended to be soft or chewy. My chihuahua loves them.

Not sure what the one person that answered was talking about--these taste really bad...certainly nothing like a regular, delicious and sweet candy bar. they start out with an ok flavor, but as you chew the center there's this really bad/fake taste that comes out strong...this is what i imagine dog biscuits taste like. but whatever, they're fairly low calorie for a lot of protein and yet weigh in at a hefty 50g...so i wouldn't expect them to "taste great." to be fair, i'm a "foodie" and love great flavorful food. but i also eat light sometimes and workout often. for comparison, my protein shakes i make with water, as well as other protein bars i've bought, taste much better than these.

If he likes to chew on them they should be just about right. They are kind of thick. Both of my dogs like them now. We ran out, but have no money to order more.

I would say Yes. My grown dog loves them too. But my neighbor just got a smaller dog (pup) and I actually gave them a bag, because I noticed that while I was holding it, he was constantly trying to chew on my hand with those little sharp teeth, so I thought a bag of those would be perfect for the puppy to chew on and not choke. But, as I have had many puppies and dogs, I always watch them when they are chewing on onesomething until they are finished. I never leave a pet alone with a chew bone.

Good question. To be honest they are quite large, but they do vary alot in thickness.....some are really thick and take ages to chew others are much thinner and take less time. Also depends how your dogs work on them....I have one that is slower on the thin ones as you expect, but my other takes more time over the thinner ones....

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