Promising review: "I felt compelled to write this review. We just got (2.5 weeks ago) a rescue who was a stray. His teeth had what looked to me like weird gray mounds at the back of the molars. He would not let us brush his teeth or come close to putting anything in his mouth. At first, we tried the regular hard teeth-cleaning chews. He liked them fine, but they seemed to be just a fun chew for him. We then decided to splurge on the OraVet Chews, which, granted, were quite expensive, but we were hoping to at least stall the progression of dental issues that he appeared to have. Our dog loved them and treats them like a high-value treat. They appear to be semi-soft when he bites down, so his teeth sink into the chew (as opposed to the more traditional, very hard tooth chews that just seem to crumble and are consumed quite quickly). Within a week of starting these, we noticed that his teeth appeared whiter, and we could no longer find the gray at the back of his mouth. His breath also improved greatly. I would highly recommend this (at least to try) to anyone, I cannot believe that these chews were able to do this in just under a week." —akshunna

Promising reviews: "This works great!! I can’t believe the difference in smell on my dog's breath." —Cristina Ribeiro

"These dog teeth cleaning wipes have been great for helping with plaque and tartar buildup on my dog’s teeth. They fit well on my finger and are long enough to cover it comfortably. My dog doesn’t seem to mind them at all, though he does have an easy-going temperament. They’re definitely easier to use than a toothbrush and make cleaning his teeth much simpler." —Cindy`

Promising review: "The dogs' breath definitely smells better, and the best part is that the dogs love them and always get excited when they hear it's time for a toothbrush – and that's the main thing. They tolerate them, they love them, and their breath smells better. Of course, they are a bit more expensive with six dogs, but it's really worth it." —Silke

Promising review: "My 7-year-old pit bull was given one of these as a gift from family. He is in love with it!! Acts like a puppy again and is so excited to get his daily chewy, plus his breath doesn't smell like a dumpster anymore! Worth the price." —Rebecca C.

Promising review: "I bought this because I saw all the great reviews. I needed to buy something to help with my two dogs' bad breath. It was just really bad. They go to the vet and have no serious issues. This spray really works. Their breath smells so much better than before." —Ini P

Promising review: "These are the best in my mind for nightly dental chews. Moccha waits patiently for me to get her chew at night. I got the small as an extra bonus for her middle-of-the-night pee break. Going on 15, she has her health issues, so I choose carefully. These are great. I have used them for years, and she continues to have great teeth and breath. I love the smell of them, and I guess she does as well." —farmgirl

Promising review: "This is the best dental solution for those especially finicky dogs. I still brush my Yorkie's teeth, but the Perio Support is a MUST-HAVE as an addition to a dog's dental care plan. Her teeth and breath are so much better with the daily use of this product. It does not hinder her appetite when sprinkled on her food; plus, it is so nice to take on vacations to continue her dental health at all times!" —Kelli

Promising reviews: "My husky has stinky breath, and she loves this toy :)! Her teeth have become a lot cleaner, too!! I wouldn’t recommend it for a power chewer, but if your dog only chews a little, it’s good!" —Kalysta

"Our puppy loves this. She has literally chewed through 13 toys in three weeks, and according to the vet, she isn’t teething yet. Eeekkkkkkk. I was searching for a tough and durable toy, yet a soft enough one that she wouldn’t injure her puppy vampire teeth. She has been at this toy like a cat with catnip. Some other reviews that caught my attention were around dental hygiene and fresh breath. I am looking forward to seeing how that unravels since our last dog wouldn’t allow us to brush his teeth at all, and we spent a fortune in dentals." —Ean

Promising review: "I have to admit most of these types of products don’t work for Border Collies, they have the worst breath, and if they do work, the dogs don’t like them. But these work for my Border Collie's horrible breath. And he loves them more than any other treat! They work for the whole week! They stay fresh in the package! They stay soft even after you open the package, and they last a long time! I have another dog who is super picky, and she won’t eat any treats, but she loves these. I think they are worth the money spent. I would highly recommend you get these for your dogs. The breath will be great, their teeth will be whiter, and both your dog and you will be happier!" —Kendra

Promising review: "My dog Potter absolutely loves these! He gets so excited every time I grab one — it’s easily his favorite treat. Not only does he enjoy them, but I love that they help support his dental health, too. It’s a win-win knowing he’s getting something he loves while also helping keep his teeth clean and breath fresher. Great quality, consistent, and something I always keep stocked. If your dog is anything like Potter, they’ll love these. Highly recommend!" —Arthuro M.

Promising review: "This 'little green guy,' as it’s known around here, immediately became our dog’s favorite toy. He loves it, almost as much as food, and I’m not really sure why. It has lasted two weeks without any damage to the main structure AND the squeaker still works. For anyone with a true power chewer, they will know how unbelievable it is when toys (even the indestructible ones) last more than a few hours. I’m so happy with it that even if I have to buy a new one at this point, I’d still think it’s worth the money. I have definitely noticed an improvement in his breath, the color of his teeth, and the fact that his gums no longer bleed when using it. Two thumbs up from this Pibble mom!" —Lindsay

Promising reviews: "Our dogs' teeth are white, sparkly with fresh breath. It is so easy to reach the back teeth that it doesn’t take more than five minutes to clean their teeth." —Penny S.

"These are perfect for my greyhound. Greyhounds' teeth need a lot of cleaning because of their soft food diet on the tracks. Used to just use one toothbrush, but they got ratty fast. I use these for about a week and then toss them. At this rate, this package will last me close to a year. Brushing is so important to make those super expensive vet dental cleanings last!" —Djj2018

Promising reviews: "Works well. I can tell the difference in their breath when I don’t use it." —L. Breedveld

"I have a small dog who has always had bad teeth, and despite years of (expensive) professional cleanings, she had to have 11 teeth extracted. I saw this in my recommendations and assumed that, like the millions of (expensive!) products we’ve tried, it would do nothing, and she would hate it. But there were so many customer photos I thought I may as well try this too. My mind is blown…It’s only been a couple of weeks, and her teeth are visibly cleaner! Substantially! Not only that, but she even seems to like the flavor of her minty water. I went to refill her water bowl after a hike today, and only after I opened the bottle did she come to me and happily slurp down water! She usually has to be cajoled into drinking even after the hottest days (she is cuter than she is bright), so this is saying something! Completely recommend :)" —Caroline

Promising reviews: "Why is no one talking about the real super power behind this dog toy? Its ability to clean the dog's teeth and take away that nasty dog breath that we all know so well. My Pit had the worst breath, almost gag-worthy, but this dog toy took away all the bad smells, making any dog owner wanna kiss their fur baby. 😁" —Amazon Customer

"This toy is very durable. We’ve had it for about two months, and it’s still completely intact. Every single toy is ruined within minutes. But this one is winning the battle. And it keeps her entertained for a good while! It’s a must-buy!" —Hector Flores
