Have you tried these? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Has anyone used the Dentastix by Pedigree? I bought some the other day because we were running out of Sophie's favorite treats. She was scheduled to have her teeth cleaned, but the appointment got canceled as the vet had over booked. Since the weather has been so bad on the weekends I didn't want to drive out of town to take her until it gets better. So, I thought I would try these. I don't know if I am just wanting them to work, but I think I really see a big difference. I noticed this afternoon that her teeth look quite white. Anyone have experience with these?

I have not tried them, but they are made by Pedigree, I would see what the ingredients are first.

I have one package. But my fur baby does not want anything to do with
them.

Yes! I was in Petsmart and a woman that has a yorkie said she has used these for years and her dog has NEVER had a problem with his teeth.

My puppy loves them.

Holiday loves them too. We bought the kind with mint in it, because her breath reeked after she would eat a bully stick. She eats them right up.

I thought about getting these for Sophie but was scared that they would like Greenies. I haven't tried them but I would interested to see peoples reviews on them.

I too use these but nothing can take the place of our regular brushing and professional cleaning.

Yes the smaller ones. My three love them.
