Mini size my Chihuahua loves, fresher breath and tartar holding steady
Size/Bag: Mini, 4 ozDog: 5-lb ChihuahuaRoutine: 1 chew nightly as a bedtime treatI started these as a nightly âbrushlessâ treat and my Chihuahua looks forward to them. The mini size is perfect for a tiny jaw, he actually chews them instead of gulping. After making this part of our routine, his breath is noticeably fresher. At our last vet visit, I was told his tartar hasnât gotten any worse since the prior appointment, which lines up with what Iâm seeing.ProsToy-breed friendly size; easy to chewMy dog loves the taste (no coaxing needed)Breath smells better within our nightly routineVet noted no new tartar progression since startingCons / Watch-outsThese are an adjunct, not a replacement for brushing or pro cleaningsThey need to be chewed to work, if your dog is a gulper, supervise or hold one endAt one per day, a 4-oz bag can go quicklyBottom line: As a daily, low-effort add-on, these have been a win: my Chihuahua enjoys them, his breath is better, and tartar has held steady between checkups. Iâll keep them in our bedtime routine and update if anything changes.

My dogs’ FAVORITE treat!
My dogs *LOVE* these treats, they are their favorite! I hope they NEVER stop making them. I was skeptical at first about how well they would clean my dogs’ teeth, but I gave it a try. My dogs had moderate plaque, so I started giving them a ProDen Plaque Off chew in the am, (they will eat them, but they aren’t their favorite like these are) and one of these Ark Naturals at night. They come to me at precisely 8pm demanding them, and they don’t do that for the others. Sometimes the bigger one will come in ahead of time and try to trick me into giving it out early.The way I understood my reading, the kelp in the ProDen Plaque Off chews kinda makes the tartar thin and brittle enough to break away, while the ingredient in these Ark Naturals Protection+ treats cause a release of igA in their saliva which forms a protective barrier on teeth. We went from our vet telling us we needed to get dentals soon (both dogs will turn 4 this summer, and one is a chi mix, so their teeth go bad quickly) to clean teeth using these. I was surprised, because that included the incisors and canines, not just the molars they chew with. You have to be patient, it does take time to work. You need to give it ay least a good month to start noticing any results, and at least 2 months to see some good results. The smell is a little different…they have meat flavoring and clove in them among other things, so that’s an interesting scent combo. Haha But it’s not horrific, and you get used to it. It was just a surprise to me at first. They do work, though, so no complaints. My dogs have fresh breath, clean teeth, and the dogs didn’t have any tummy issues, etc. with them.If you’re wondering why I don’t just brush their teeth, I have RA pretty bad, so my hands cramp up and hurt trying to get in my chi’s tiny mouth with a brush. The treat combo I discussed above is my workaround, but I do try to get in there every now and then on one of my “good” days. This combo can be expensive depending on how many dogs you have, but it’s definitely cheaper than dentals! Also better not to do anesthesia if you don’t have to. Now that we have pretty clean teeth here, I’m considering maybe dropping the ProDen Plaque Off chews since the dogs aren’t that excited about them, and will keep going with these. It would be interesting to see how well they help prevent plaque and tartar on their own. For now, I definitely recommend these, and I signed up for the monthly subscription for the bigger bags. I think my dogs would completely freak out if I missed giving any. They can be pricey in the small bags at retail stores, but you might want to get a small bag first to sample and make sure they agree with your dogs and they like the flavor. Hope they work well for you also if you try them!

Very popular with the Chi
My dog absolutely loves these. He knows he gets one mid-morning and another mid-afternoon, and I have no opportunity to forget to give them to him, as he reminds me sternly. They really do keep his teeth clean. He is a 7 lb. Chihuahua, and small dogs just generally have problems with their teeth. With these and getting his teeth cleaned one a year, he has kept all his teeth, and they are in good shape.

Saved my eldest dogs teeth
My 7 year old boxer has had bad teeth issues. Like not even enjoying pigs ears level. Almost anything made her bleed and be sore. We got this, after a person we have grown to trust told us this was a good stepping stone to working up to regular chews. We were NOT disappointed! Our pup loves the flavor, and devoured it in seconds. After a few weeks, we were offering the pups pigs ears… She was reluctant at first, but then went for it. She actually, I kid you not, looked at me shocked before she shredded it. Now she can handle the harder dental chews as well as these, and the mix has made such a difference. These chews were a godsend. We will keep getting them, just because she loves the flavor ð, but also it was an effective method in non painfully getting her gums and teeth back up to par. The smell isn’t bad either. Like cinnamon.

Cleans but causes allergies
My dogs love these treats, and unlike many other dental treats it doesn’t give them loose stools the next day. It has helped with the bad breath abit and their teeth are a bit cleaner bits they could be tougher chews as my dogs get through these in only a few bites. The other thing is that they cause my dogs allergies to flair up. My eldest has been scratching like crazy but after I stopped giving him these treats he hasn’t been scratching after a few days. Likely due to using chicken flavor rather than beef or non avian meat flavor.

smelly but effective
Dogs loved them, and it did seem to help but… yo, I’ll go bankrupt if I use these as directed for my dogs. But pet and pet care isn’t cheap, and they work as advertised. To me they smelled weird, but you all know dogs, the weirder the smell the more they love it.

Picky dog approved.
My Great Danes love the taste of these. My male is picky about his treats and they have his approval. I am not sure about the effectiveness or toothpaste quality as they just started them.

My dog loves it as a treat and her teeth are cleaner after a few weeks of use, worth the price.
