We've used Arm & Hammer dental products for our dogs in the past, but the few times we have tried out the dental chews with our dogs they have turned their noses up in disinterest. Apparently these bones smell a lot more tasty because they each had no issues with snacking on these new treats. These definitely aren't long lasting chews as our two made short work of these in under a minute. We didn't notice any real change in breath, and the bones didn't cause any tummy upset. The treats don't smell bad like some liver treats do, and that may be because the liver ingredient is a "natural chicken liver enhancer" which seems to be chicken liver that has been dried and ground into dust.As a pet parent, I am on the fence with these treats when it comes to the ingredients and where they are manufactured. There's no need for the artificial dyes to be added to the product except to make them appear more appealing to humans. There's also no need to add in any sugar. I haven't heard any issues with products made in Thailand, and several pet sites actually mention that Thailand's versions of our FDA and USDA are actually more stringent than those here in the US. I couldn't find any instances of recalls associated with treats or foods made there, so that is a good thing. If Arm & Hammer could get rid of the dyes, that would be great. Until then, I will give these to our pups as an occasional treat, but will still lean towards purchasing treats that are made with few ingredients as possible or making them at home.

My dogs have never tried Arm & Hammer brand, but I thought I would give it a try. I didnt even know Arm & Hammer made dog treats. Nylabone Dental Treats were my Min Pin's fave treat, but they changed their formula, so I don't feel as much loyalty for them and am looking for a new dental treat. These treats contain quality ingredients, and my 2 dogs like the taste, but the size is very large for two small dogs. They don't seem to offer different size options depending on the size of your dog, and these are too big for my smalls dogs to have every night. So I took off one star for that. If you have small dogs like me, I would look for another option. Or the dental treats are soft enough to break in half. If you have large dogs, this size would be perfect.

The ingredient list on these is great, and I love that there are benefits for both teeth and coat. My two pugs both seem to like them. Although one hides it instead of eating it right away (he usually eats anything) and the other finds it and goes to town. Then the first one wants it back and eats it with no problem 🤷 Anyway, be sure to keep an eye on your dogs while eating them, because they aren't hard to chew at all and they go fast. I don't want my smallish dogs eating a whole bone in one sitting. Especially a bone that costs more than $2 per treat. They may be too big for some toy breeds. I have to cut them in half for my pugs.

I'll keep this review brief:1. It's very important to me that I give my dog safe, nutritionally sound food and treats. I especially love to give him treats that help his coat and teeth. These cover all of the bases for me.2. My dog loves these. He rarely jumps up and down and gets excited. After the first one of these he ate, the very next time I reached for them, he freaked out in excitement.In sum, the above two observations make these a winner. Recommended4 starsCheers!

There are quite a variety of dental chews available within the last few years. These are similar to the others in being based on starches and glycerin, but do have some unique ingredients such as pineapple pulp fiber and fructooligosaccharide. Could do without the food coloring, though.My dogs enjoy these, but not notable more or less so than any other dental chew I have offered them.But that’s JustMe.
