Hill's Science Diet Oral Care, Adult 1-6, Plaque & Tartar Buildup Support, Dry Dog Food, Chicken, Rice, & Barley, 28.5 lb Bag

What a surprise!!! Unbelievable how well my poodles love this food!They are simply not chewers, and it has been difficult to tolerate my 5 year old teacup's breath (5 lbs soaking wet) and she has developed bad teeth. When I had to make an appointment to have a couple removed for her, along my 2 year old (8 lb) poodle began showing staining teeth and developing bad breath, I knew things had to change. I began searching for oral care treats and discovered this food. I poured thru so many reviews and decided it looked promising. Wow! After 3 weeks the results are impressive! They are now on Bag #3. The dog kisses are much more welcomely recieved! I bought toothbrush and toothpaste now as well and just went to brush their teeth, and the 2 year old's teeth have completed brightened back to a new white! The stains are completely gone!The tiny teacup's are also noticeably brighter, and breath is down to mild instead of 👹👃😲😵😷.The most enjoyable part is dinner time. They love the "meatball" size and taste of this food more than any bag dry food Ive ever seen from any dog. They seem to think they are getting a bowl of treats!! The little one takes her food to the bed inside her kennel, then she will even stay in it and "guard" her morsels for hours to make sure the other dog doesnt get hers. My boy poodle has a different habit- his favorite things go out the doggie door. For instance, he will sneak socks, paper towels and all the best toys are discreetly taken outside to be enjoyed privately. And that now includes Hill's Science Diet Oral Care dog food-one piece of food at a time. They eat each piece slowly, and never a crumb left behind.Other dry dog food varieties seem to scatter messily at the bowl or to the rug, or land in the water dish. Those problems are gone!Aroma is positive as well, if that concerns anyone. Since I always scoop with my hands, I like to be able to tolerate the smell too since I am physically touching it everyday. (I do so because they smell me and my love for them on their food. Silly, maybe but I saw it on the Dog whisperer...), This food smells fresher somehow? Maybe its the parsely, but it does not smell like typical dry dog food, but has a light aromatic scent the dogs enjoy but it does not entice a human to want to eat it....lol.Price: Very satisfactory. Love the subscription delivery plan, with added discount. And even costs less than my local Petsmart.For the results, quality and meal enjoyment the dogs are showing it gets 5 stars from us.Con: available sizesMy 2 dogs are fed 1/2 -3/4 cups each food per day. I am on monthly subscription and one bag does not last thru next delivery. I Increased to 2 bags/mo.

A long time ago we had a vet who recommended using these as treats and we have ever since. The dogs love them and We always get compliments from vets about how healthy and clean their teeth are. I highly recommend these for treats.

Most of my dogs have horrible teeth. I give them daily dental chews and plaque off powder as well as brushing with doggy toothpaste. This kibble seems to be working to reduce tartar and bad breath. Each piece of food is about the size of a cheese ball/puff and not as dense as regular kibble. I have four pups, so I can’t afford to use this as their main source of food, but will add it to their normal meals as a topper and use as treats through out the day. All four dogs go crazy for them. They seem to love the taste and crunch and have not had any tummy problems with this food. My pups are medium/large dogs (40 to 65 pounds) and will occasionally swallow the kibble whole. This kibble is probably too large for toy/small dogs.

Update: both my 35 lb dog & 8 lb dog eat a few pieces of this a day. They are both able to eat it. They seem to really like it. Their teeth look NOTICEABLY cleaned! Very happy with this and will continue to supplement this with their regular food.I had no idea that this kibble is so huge. It's almost the size of a bouncy ball! My 35 lb dog had a hard time chewing it. I had to take a meat tenderizer and smash it up. It's kind of ridiculous! I've never seen dog food this large. I have no idea if it works yet but it will take some extra effort on my end to smash this food up.Update: even though I have to smash the food up a bit with a meat tenderizer, I think it has really worked to take the plaque off of my dog's teeth! This will be worked into our routine for the long haul!

I had Miniature Poodle pups that had a serious problem with bad breath and decaying teeth. My Veterinarian suggested that I buy large kibble so it could scrape their teeth when they chew it up. This Science Diet Oral Care dog food really does the job well. Gets rid of bad breath, cleans their teeth beautifully, all of my dog's, both large and small, just love it, and I have no more huge Vet dental bills. Only complaint is it's WAY too expensive but it's the only large kibble I can find.
