Would these be good for a small breed puppy? Other crunchy dog treats are too big for my doxies. Or they are too hard for them to break & eat easily

Yes they are good for my morkie (maltese yorkie mix). He's about 10lbs and likes the smell and taste of these treats. They are crunchy and he has no problem breaking them up.

These treats would be PERFECT for a small dog. I know you will not be disappointed.

Probably not but they make a mini version as well. They are chewy but my 50 lb dog loves those as well.

I gave them to my German Shepard mix, no problem. I had originally bought them for my 3 lb chichuana but her teeth were to delicate to chew them. If they get too small you could remove them from dog but my German... Eats the whole thing.

I haven't really had a problem breaking them. My dog is a Beagle and likes to just chew on the bigger pieces. Good luck

They can be broken in half for smaller dogs. My dog loves them. She gets one after her morning meal.

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 think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

They are very easy to break into bits. I actually tear mine into four pieces for my dog. Wellness also has a puppy treat that is smaller than the dog treats. These are great treats and they are not full of a bunch of junk like so many others! I only feed my dog Wellness! If you have any other questions just let me know...

I think these treats would be difficult for her to chew.They are hard and she needs something soft.If you're looking for something soft try Wellness Wellbites.They come in different flavors and my dog likes them very much.Good luck!

I have a 65 pound mix and a 55 pound Pitty and neither of them had any issues eating them. I think if your dog is okay eating things like kibble she'll be okay eating these, as they are at least 3 inches in length. Plus the dogs adore them!!

They are about 1/2 inch in diameter and are scored in half. They are not soft like a pupperoni but not real hard either. I have a miniature poodle and she manages a whole one quite easily. She is almost 13 years old. I decided rather than mess with cutting them in half, I give her one whole one on even days only. I hope this is helpful.

Absolutely! I both have a smaller chihuahua mix and a shepard mix. The are small enough bites for a small dog for sure! My babies healthy as horses and peppy as puppies and they are both about 4 years old.

Wellness makes this version of treats for puppies too. I am not sure if this particular one is recommended for pups but if doesn't say you can't give them these. The puppy version is smaller for their mouth. Just type in the search in Amazon - Wellness Wellbite puppy.

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.

Yes. I have a 5.5 pound toy poodle and it takes her a while to chew one down. I bought the small ones, and I preferred cutting them in half because it still seemed like too much. It was NOT easy cutting them in half! I've since stopped feeding these to her because they come from China and I'm paranoid about any treats from China, even if they don't have chicken. But to answer your question, yes, I believe they're meant to be that hard. I think that's why they're supposed to be "dental chews". Things that are hard to chew are usually good for scraping tartar off their teeth.

They are crunchy treats. They do break apart pretty easily and you would be able to crumble them but they are not soft.

They are not soft or chewy but they are pretty crumbly and easy to break into smaller pieces that a little puppy could handle.

They are hard like a nylabone. I know my dog is able to break it down really slowly and get a bit here and there, but it doesn't have any softness
