C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs - Plaque & Tartar Control - Single Layer Beefhide with Exclusive Dual-Enzyme System & Tasty Chicken Flavor - Easy to Give Dog Dental Chew

I have a 10 1/2 year old terrier mix. She has NEVER had her teeth cleaned professionally at the vet's office. I have brushed her teeth on occasion over the years, but for quite a while now I have been giving her 1/2 of a stick of these twice a day. Not only does she love them, but they have been an excellent method for keeping her teeth pretty much tartar free. After her morning and evening walks, she awaits her dental chew.

A vet recommended these to me. The dogs really like them and no choking for them. I still watch when they start getting to a little piece and I try to take it away, but they have swallowed the end of it and seem to be just fine.

These are excellent. Longest lasting dental chews out there. They actually have to chew them vs just swallowing it. My dogs breath is great and haven't had to do a dental in years. I give them 1-2 a week.

My two pups, Scout and Gus, love these chews — they “brush” their teeth with them every single morning like clockwork. It’s become part of our routine, and I genuinely feel good knowing these help with their dental health and keep their breath fresh enough for morning snuggles.That said, I’m knocking off one star for the inconsistency in size. I understand the bags are sold by weight, but sometimes we get a batch with super thick chews, and we burn through the bag way faster than usual. Other times, the chews are thinner and last us the whole month. A little more consistency would go a long way — especially for those of us planning monthly pup budgets!Bottom line: These chews are a staple in our household, and Scout and Gus give them two paws up. Just wish we could count on the same quantity each time!

My German Shepherd loves these. The only thing that worries me is that once she gets down to the last third, she swallows it whole. I worked in the pet industry for many years and I cannot tell you how many dogs die from getting a rawhide knot stuck in their digestive tract. These are slim, smooth, thin bars, so even if they swallow them, I feel it will make its way through, no problem. Oh, and her teeth a gleaming white again.

The Chews are very dangerous, they don’t dissolve (not even in chunks or pieces), severe choking hazard. My pug had been chewing on it constantly for over an hour. She’d chew it for a bit and then spit it out for a few then start chewing on it again. I thought she was just taking her time to enjoy it. Turns out it was not very chewable and got wadded up into a small condensed rock hard chunk. So she tried to swallow the whole chunk since it wouldn’t soften up or break apart. She rapidly started struggling to breathe. I quickly jammed my fingers down her throat and dug it out. She would have suffocated and died if I hadn’t been able to reach it. She’s a Pug and already has breathing & pallet difficulties.The description when purchasing a single bag markets the item form as: CHEWABLES, single layer for easier digestion. The 3 pack markets the item form as: WAFERS, gulping whole chews reduce efficacy, “can be” harmful for dogs. Mentions nothing about possible choking hazard or even recommending supervision when the dog is chewing on it.My dogs have an obsession with chewing kongs, toys, antlers, sticks and even rocks. Never had any issues swallowing or gulping items down. They prefer to suck on it and carry it in their mouth wherever they go. I rarely purchase any type or form of rawhide due to a possible choking hazard. I read the reviews and that they are #1 with Vets for dental hygiene. I read several different descriptions and packages, didn’t see anything about possible choking hazard. It mentions if swallowed whole it reduces the efficacy and CAN be harmful to your dog. The way it’s worded gives the impression that if swallowed whole it might make your dog sick due to ingesting the abrasive dual enzyme system all at once…. Especially if you need to wash hands after handling it. No issues with the first couple of chews. But most of them were unable to be chewable and didn’t really breakdown/soften or pull apart so I would throw them out. I have seen many dogs attempt to swallow them whole, usually by softening it first. I had never witnessed or heard of a “chew” that folded up into a small rock solid rawhide. I was unfortunately unaware that was a possibility, I was monitoring them to make sure that when it was softened up they wouldn’t try to swallow the entire thing at once, like the package warned about. I heard her struggling to breathe so I tried immediately reached in her mouth trying to feel a huge soft long piece of rawhide. Couldn’t feel anything. Took my fingers out and she still couldn’t take a breath. So I reached as far down her throat as I could making a scooping motion with one finger to find what was blocking her airways. After pulling her tongue forward with my free hand I finally found the issue. Absolutely horrified that something could become so compact and flat with rugged edges that it could get stuck and block the circumference of her esophagus. Please clarify on your packaging and descriptions that it is VERY important to NEVER leave your dog unattended chewing any type of raw hide.

This was recommended to me by pups vet. I was told to lean them off bones as they are getting there in years and to try this as they are both big on chewing.Both my dogs love them. I don't know if it's a texture thing for them or if it simply tastes good to them. I can confirm that it doesn't smell horrible. Normally a dental stick doesn't last either of my dogs any time at all. This both functions like a dental stick and a chewing bone. My dogs have no issue digesting the chew. My main worry is how they will react after eating something new, but I can say that they had no issues. It is a bit more money wise than the other types of dental sticks, but they are woth it in the long run.

My picky Yorkies LOVE these chews! They think they are treats and get one a day. They keep their teeth clean and strong and their breath smelling fresh. I have bought these for about 10 years and will continue to buy them!
