Are these really hard to chew? Could someone with no teeth get through a bag? Thank-you

You need teeth, they are hard. Just the right crunch. I love them with dip. I prefer this brand to any of the others.

They are thicker than say.. tortilla chips and while they are delicious, might be a bit hard to chew for someone without teeth.

They are very thick and crunchy so I think it would be difficult for someone without teeth.

These are crispy chips. To chew these without teeth would require them to be softened. Perhaps dips in a liquid. They are quite tasty though!

Very hard and crunchy. My 11.5- and 10-yr-olds handle them okay, but they all do have very good teeth. If you have any doubts about the strength of your pack's teeth, choose something softer.

They are soft and chewy for my old girl Ling Ling I break them in half. Ling Ling is missing a few teeth. My youngster at 5yrs Merlin gets 5 pcs am and 5 pcs pm he has weak hip bone.

these are a bit crunchy...would not recommend for a pup with few teeth..the Milos brand is pretty good and most of those treats are soft...hope this helps

I had not noticed any but I just went and stuck my face in the bag and no they don't. My dog is picky about snacks and she eats them fine. As I said she is only 5 1/2 lb.so I have to break them in half even though they are small and are soft to chew. I want to echo the answer before mine THESE ARE NOT TREATS use them as directed.

I wouldn't worry too much as they take a while to break down my pug had one for a good two wks and that's chewing daily. If you're worried about weight try antler chews they are rock hard and so good for them , but they'll take years to make a dent in !

Not easily. These are the most durable balls I've had and our dog destroys everything quickly also. If he's left with them alone to chew them for hours he might chew through but we use them for retrieval and he gets lots of chewing then but he doesn't get them to chew alone.

They aren't really big - They are oblong. I wouldn't advise crushing them because they don't taste or smell very good. I guess you could cut them in half if need be. I usually swallow then pretty quickly so that I won't get any of the taste in my mouth - they really are nasty BUT they do the trick. I have noticed a big difference in my energy level. So they are well worth the stink !!

I've not used the non-Glus...... yummies, but these are not terribly hard. I have a Greyhound with a poor mouth and he loves them and can chew them with no problems. I'm a great fan of this product.

I buy these for two mini schnauzers, 15 & 18 lbs. The 15 lb. female goes through one of them in an hour. The 18 lb. male just chews one until the flavor goes away. From chewing, they become quite gummy and they aren't nearly as thick a chew as they used to be. Out of the 30 in the bag, maybe 10 are heavy duty chews like I want them to have and the other 20 are quite flimsy. I don't think I could recommend them for a larger dog and am not certain that I will even order again for our two little ones. Hope this helps.

Yes, they could be. They are not extremely small and they are very tough. My son often complained about how hard to chew they were- he wanted to chew through them. They are very durable!

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.

They are hard, not soft. My daughters both chewed on the soft ones and made extra holes, so these worked better for them.

They are hard, but not as hard as a raw hide. My 10 year old carries it around for awhile, and then eats it in one sitting.

They are not snacks, but not real thick rawhide either. My dog, a 35 pounder can chew through them in a few (usually five) minutes. These are great products and my dog loves them, but don't expect them to last as long a traditional, knotted rawhide. Of course my dog can eat through those in an hour or two as well.

No, my two year old loves them. We've never had to crush them. We just hand one to her and she eats it. The consistency is similar to a chewable vitamin.

Yes, they are hard, but then they are dental treats and are to clean the teeth. My cats haven't had any troubles. Maybe like your cat is used to something softer, or like another person said, you might have a stale bag.
