Would these treats be good for a dog who had some teeth pulled? I have Checkups and those are a bit difficult for her since shes had her teeth pulled.

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 would say consult with your vet about which treat would be best for your dog since they've had teeth pulled, the treats are hard might not be a good idea but like said before ask vet is the safest bet.

If most of the teeth are still present I would say yes. However they are still firm enough that teeth are essential to enjoy this treat.

Kazaam, I'm honestly not sure how your dog would handle the Dentastix. I just know they do seem to have helped my dogs control their tarter and get better (not glowing like I imagine they would be if I took the time to brush their teeth every day) reports from the vet. If you are concerned about sensitive gums then I recommend buying one of the smaller packs you can find at your local pet store or grocery and trying it out. If that works out I suggest you buy and use as a daily treat and see what the vet says about the condition of your dog's teeth on the next visit. I'm assuming you buy treats anyway so why not substitute one of these for a few others you might normally give? They shouldn't hurt your dog and if they help then all the better.

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.

Depending on which teeth have been pulled. My dogs use their canines to munch on those, they are meant for teeth cleanings so they're not soft. I would recommend that you use Greenies instead. They are excellent, my dogs love the taste and they are a little softer than the Dentastix. Dentastix is my budget version. I buy that when I've gone over pet budget for the previous month. Otherwise I give them Greenies but the Pedigree item is very good also.

This would depend on which teeth and how many have been pulled. We would recommend checking with your Veterinarian to see if they feel your dog can still properly chew our DENTASTIX. Hope this is helpful.

My current dogs prefer the soft jerky/stick-style treats, they just don't like the crunchy biscuit kind, no matter what brand it is. I have had two dogs that liked the crunchy ones, but they were the kind of dog that would eat about anything anyway. I'd try the jerky/soft treats, my dogs have liked all the snack sticks from Newman's Own. (Give the ones your own dogs won't eat to your local shelter--there will surely be a dog there who would like them!)

I do not believe so. Go back through the comments, read the thread of emails I exchanged with the manufacturer and make up your own mind. If you need to ask, look elsewhere for your dogs treats.

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

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.

I remember we gave them to my daughter as soon as she had her first teeth. I would say on the few months. Even if she play with them (I mean putting in her mouth without eating it) they are very helpful to keep her calm. Now that she is 16 month old...she doesn't want them anymore. So just try to gave them the biscuits (they are very very light and brakes easily, so no danger at all).

I'll answer by saying that I have a 12 yr old rescue dog from the pound. She never had any care for her teeth and has bad teeth and has lost several. She absolutely loves these CET petite chews and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Also her remaining teeth have really whitened up.

I would have to say yes. I have a ten year old Maltese who has eating these since she could chew. She has a few every day as a snack. In fact, she refuses to eat any other treat. My vet sats she is the healthiest maltese she ever seen, and when asked her age, no one believes she is 10.

Do not know! These chews are wonderful! Not easy for a dog to gulp. They are very hard so that to me freezing would not be necessary, and might change the taste! My dogs, LOVE these better than any chews, and I feel that they keep their teeth free from dental problems.

I would use these with any dog, large or small. They are intended for training so the dog should only need to smell and taste the treat. One or two is enough in most cases and a few would be plenty for a larger dog to get the idea.

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.

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

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

Was afk for several days. Sorry. The batch I have now does not say they are flavored, I just plop on one her food and it disappears just as fast as always, so I would have to say she eats them fine. I get them from Amazon instead of the vet as cost is much lower.

My lab won't eat the pills either. I make a big deal out of the chews like they are an after meal treat. I cut them into pieces (x8) and feed them to her which she loves. When I first got them for her I crumbled one onto her food (can + dry) like Parmesan cheese on spaghetti. Maybe you can buy some samples from your vet to see what your dog thinks before you buy a whole bag...my dog is 14 and still walks 1-2 miles with me at a slow pace.

My doxie has good sound teeth and she takes several minutes to chew this thing up...it is a HARD stick, not brittle, its chewy but its hard. If your Dog has teeth issues I would not suggest this at all. I think you could search for "get naked low calorie soft chews" or something similar to that, to get a GOOD for your pet treat...as my girl LOVES these, she whines for them, so I feel its a great product, MADE IN THE USA too! Hope you can find something =)

The best thing to do is just try them. You may have to try different doses-some dogs need more some less and it's not always based on size. Our dog is just over ten lbs and takes the med-large size chews.
