Hills Science Diet Adult 1-6 Oral Care Small Mini Dry Dog Food Chicken Barley 12 5 lb Bag

WOW!!! THIS WORKS FAST!!! I wish I had taken before and after photos!!! In less than ONE WEEK, my dog's yellow tartar and plaque coated teeth are white!!! I wouldn't believe this if I didn't see it with my own eyes!!! I didn't get this for free or any discount. I am not being compensated for this review!!! I contacted my vet and they gave me a list of approved products to help with oral care) Back to results... So, my young adult dog had come to us with advanced oral build up. No decay, just super yellow teeth with visible tartar and plaque. Her breath was rank! ICK! In less than one week, after adding this food to her current Hills food, it acted as super miracle scrubbers doing a wonderful job faster than I could have ever dreamed!!! This worked like those commercials that show dogs yellow icky teeth getting white with one swipe. I don't think this will help with decaying teeth... But for breath and tartar/plaque this is a WIN! I still see yellow at the gum line, but each time I look at her teeth the get whiter and whiter! NOW Breath...I literally would gag when her mouth would get close to my nose. I would have to wash my hand, arm or anywhere she licked me because her breath was so funky! I would not believe this if I didn't see it! Her breath is so neutral now all I smell is food. This makes me so happy because the teeth cleaning would have been dangerous for her to stay under for a longer period. Also, it costs so much more than this bag of dog food. We were going to have our baby's teeth cleaned while she is spayed, but now we won't have to pay for or keep her under anesthesia longer to get her dental care. ***OLD REVIEW: (kept so you can see that my dogs did not choke or have issue with chewing them.) So, my YORKIES love this food, but for 4 pound dogs, these are WAAAAAY too big to give them whole. They will choke! These are about a half an inch wide and a half an inch long. Some are larger. I have to use a nutcracker to break them and give them to my babies. The package says SMALL AND MINI. I don't know what small and mini means to you, but I think 4 pound dogs are SMALL AND MINI and these are not! As for the teeth, and if this helps with their plaque or tartar, don't know yet. It will take me a week to crack all the pieces to serve to my babies! Read more

So check this out (see the picture)! These are the perfect size to fit in a Nylabone Power Chew Knuckle Bone that can be found in pet stores and at Chewy online. So, now my little doggie gets treats that are good for him and he can have as many as he wants. One end of the dog food is slightly smaller. Just slide it in as far as you can, and turn it over onto your counter and use the palm of your hand to push down on the chew toy and it slides further into the chew toy hole. You will want it sticking a little out, cause you dog will like to lick it before working to get it out and then eating it. It's great! Read more

The pieces are about an inch in size. Not small / mini. My dog likes them, but they are quite large for a small dog. Would be fine for a 40 pound + dog. Read more

I have small dogs and they need food for oral care. They like it and it helps keep their teeth clean. Read more

I’ve been using this food as a topper for my older, medium (48 pound) dog. She still has really nice teeth and I’m trying to keep it that way. These seem to help clean off some of the plaque (obviously nothing is as good as brushing). My dog really likes the crunchiness of these and acts like they’re a treat. She’s usually pretty picky. I worry about the size of these kibble though. They’re about the size of a tater tot for lack of a better comparison. I would worry about these being a possible choking hazard for a small dog that doesn’t like to chew or a small dog not liking the kibble because of the size. As with anything, supervise while your dog is eating and these can be a great food/addition to your dog’s diet. Read more

This says it's for "mini" dogs, but don't believe it. The pieces are way too big and my 10lb Chihuahua chocked on one. I had to heimlich him to git him to throw it up. I wouldn't give this to a dog unless they were at least 30lbs. Read more

We use it as a treat after she potty's outside. She 5 and she eats what we eat, I mean everything we eat and her teeth had a little tartar. She's a 7 pound Pom with a good size mouth, and food driven, but won't eat dog food. I thought these are too big; but gave it to her, yep, no problem, after all she earned it. I guess it's been about three weeks and you should see her pearly white teeth. 😁 Read more

My doggy loves Hill science. My vet uses health science I use both the dry and the wet. I put the dry on the bottom in case she’s really hungry and then a small amount of the wet on top because she loves that. Read more
