Beachbum1 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Anyone using Milkbone Dental Chews, and if so, your review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndtime Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 When we got Odin, we brought him to our vet for a well check up. The vet said his back teeth will need a dental, but, since he was new to our home, give him a chance to get settled. We started buying the dental chews at BJ's. The next time we went back to the vet, he said keep doing what you are doing and Odin didn't need the dental. We have him two years and Shine three years, and, neither has had to have a dental since we have them. You can only give one chew a day and we only give it to them when we leave the house for a while. I do buy the medium and not the large dog size. I think, because, when we first started buying them, medium was the only size they had in BJ's. So, I would say that we are pleased.

Potomacpupsmom Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 We use them too, and they love them. I buy the medium size too, instead of the large. I give it to them after breakfast each day and we are very happy with the results.

Walliered Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I buy the Ora Vet chews. I am seeing great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes! Fabulous. Works pretty good on teeth, although Ryder is done his within about 5 minutes. The best thing is it doesn't make him sick and no D. I do however find them excessively packaged and expensive and only buy them if I see them on sale.

greysmom Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A bit expensive and they have chicken in them, so we don't buy them very often, but they seem like they work as well as any of the commercial dental chews available. Greenies, Busy Bones, Dentasticks are all brands we have used in the past with good results. My non-chicken eater uses Whimzee brand chews.

Beachbum1 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks all. I bought a box of 30 large size at Sam's for $15.00. I'll see how they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndtime Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks all. I bought a box of 30 large size at Sam's for $15.00. I'll see how they do. I guess that is about right. I pay $13.99 in BJ's for 40 medium. Let us know how they like them.

fastpointydoge Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I bought a box of the medium sized ones at the grocery store yesterday after reading this thread. Rogue loves them! Will be interested if it's a noticable difference I can see. Quote Sarah with P Kay Ruger "Rogue" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I just bought a mini size box on sale for $3.97 - no idea how small these actually are so this should be interesting....

palmettobug Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Johnny has no problem making these and Greenies disappear in record time (he gets large ones!). We've also done Minities and Whimzees (the big toothbrush shaped ones take a little longer due to their size and hardness). Quote Current Crew: Gino-Gene-Eugene!

XTRAWLD Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Turns out the minis last about 1 minute longer than any milk bone type biscuit/cookie. Pretty cute to watch him keep trying to crack it and chew like a cookie....kinda like giving a huge gumball/gobstopper to a kid that can't quite break it down for the first minute.

GreytTerp Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 We ended up changing to the Virbac chews because our guy doesn't chew dental treats enough to pass through his digestive system. With the milk bone dental chews, he ate such big pieces that he would end up vomiting them back up the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
