SmartBones Dental Chew Medium 4 Pack More of a treat

  • Chewing activity promotes healthy dental care

  • Safe and rawhide free
  • Suitable for dog breeds 20 to 40-pound; approximately 5-inch long
  • Great taste
  • Safer than rawhide don't last as long but also cleans teeth I picked these up from my local pet shop for a bit cheaper than what they are on offer for from Amazon so you might wish to shop around.Over all I am quite satisfied with these bones. They are much safer than raw hide chews given they are made from dried chicken which means unlike raw hide you know these are actually digestible. This is the biggest reason I bought them. My vet recommended not giving my Sheltie raw hide as they aren't properly digestible. Whether this is true or not I've heeded her advice.Baird my Sheltie really seems to enjoy them. When he sees one coming out of the bag his tail is wagging like crazy. He enjoys these as much as our old family Sheltie McGyver enjoyed raw hide. The only difference I see between these and raw hide is that raw hide lasted roughly 30 minutes longer in chew time than these. I'd say Baird can chew through one of these in about 30 or so minutes while our old Sheltie could chew on a single raw hide for an hour at which point we would throw away the little nub. There is nothing left of these bones after 30 minutes.As far as the dental application goes it does smell of mint so I assume it should if nothing else help with doggy breath though to be fair Baird has never really had doggy breath. I also use some dog mouth foam so I don't know what really keeps his breath fresh between the two.If you aren't too sure about raw hide for your dog and want something you know can be digested these are definitely worth it.For those that try to keep track of where the things they give their dog come from these are made in China. I've tried finding something similar not made in China but it seems such a thing doesn't exist or I just can't find them.
    Made in China Great product but made in China. Once I realized this after purchase I got a little worried. Kind of over priced in the regular retail market. My dogs like it & have been ok but I wish I knew ahead of time where it was made.
    More of a treat Good product but more of a treat for my dogs. It took them just a matter of minutes to have the SmartBone gone. Maybe good for dogs that are not big chewers.
