Kind of crunchy, but thin - around 1/4" thick, so easy to chew as opposed to some half-inch thick biscuits.

hi, i just got these from the vet. my mini doxie just had her canine teeth pulled in december, and yes, she still eats these treats. she also has had 6 other teeth taken out, so, somehow, she can still work on these. the vet, highly recommended them. i have three dogs (10 yr old terrier, 8 yr old doxie and a puppy), they all trade off on these treats. the doxie usually will take the treat after it is worked on by the other dogs, but she does chew them.

My 11-year old lab mix thinks the hard pills are treats--I call her for a "treat," put her on a sit and throw one up in front of her and she catches it in the air and eats it, looking for more after finishing. She will also eat it when I just put it in the bowl with her dry food. My 14-year old papillon, who has bad teeth and weighs only 8 pounds, will eat a half pill only when we put peanut butter on it. I have never tried the soft ones, but perhaps my little pap would prefer those.

The are very soft and our Golden absolutely loves them - both the chicken and the beef flavor. Be sure to keep the lid on tight as the will harden slightly with time. I would think, even with time, they would still be soft enough for aging teeth. Hope this helps!!!

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.

I haven't actually taste them, so I can't attest to flavor, but dog #1 who takes them doesn't need them to be 'hidden', so I doubt they are bitter. Dog #2 has her's dressed with a dab of butter, and she doesn't object to eating them that way. Neither one spits them out (but I do put them in their food bowls with their breakfast rather than trying to feed them to them independently of a meal.)

They are very crunchy, to help with dental issues. My cats haven't a problem, even the one who has less than half of his teeth left (15+). Perhaps they are stale? But in any case, they aren't meant to be soft. (My cats eat some canned, mostly raw, so crunchy is a treat to them.)

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

I didn't experience that with my dog's treats. However, I would check with the manufacturer for their recommendation. (NOTE: I have added bread to hard cookies, etc. to soften in the past. Not sure if that would work here?)

They are soft. Not like cookie crumbly soft. More like brownies when you leave them in the oven a little too long. I love these. They help with separation anxiety, to sleep calmly through the night, or just to relax. I fill their kongs with pb and then stick one of these inside.

They are chewable pills but are on the harder side. I can break them in half easily for my smaller dog but when my pups chew them you can hear a crunch so to me, they're on the harder side but if your doggy has trouble chewing them, you could easily just crush them into smaller pieces...

hi, these are just like greenies they are uniquely shaped th scrub the tartar off ur dogs teeth to prevent brushing soo much i give my dog 2 a week and he just munches away seems to really love these treats i would give them a try

They aren't soft but not extremely hard either. Sometimes I split them in half when giving multiple treats and they break easily so it could be something you could crumble up for your puppy. I hope that helps.

They are supposed to be hard as they are a dental treat. The chewing process helps them get the tartar off their teeth. If he can't chew them, he may have an issue with his teeth and/or gums.

No, they're a good, but small treat you can give more liberally for training without ruining their diet. They're roughly the size of an average piece of kibble, but soft.

They are hard candies. You suck on them until they dissolve. They don't get soft or chewy.

they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it.... I don't know that I'd call it a "treat", never have offered him one by itself - knowing our Barni, he'd just gobble it without asking what it was :) (they don't have a definitive "odor" so probably fairly tasteless) He eats so fast (inhales so to speak), I doubt he realizes taking 'medicine'.....
