Wow! After 3 weeks, WHITER TEETH and dogs think its a bowl of treats!
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.

Must be tastier than Hills small paws kibble!
I was skeptical about this since my 1 y/o 10 lb poochon is such a picky eater, but I went with the small size bag for her teeth health. I am impressed how she enjoys eating such gigantic nugget, far more than her usual kibble (Hills little paws chicken puppy, smallest kibble out there). My dog is not an agressive chewer, especially on the food side, she doesn’t enjoy treats like rawhide or porkhide, but she seems having no problem chopping down this hard nugget. It is hard, but more airy and crunch inside than her usual kibble, so less dense.She rarely eats breakfast when I give her usual kibble since she has less appetite in the morning. When I mix this into small kibbles, she only eats this giant kibble. So I ended up giving her this (6 nuggets) for breakfast, which she devours slowly but surely(Amazing!), and give usual kibble in the evening.My dog hasn’t had teeth problem yet, and I hope this kibble helps to prevent one! I will keep buying this as long as my dog keeps liking it!Update: Feb 2020My now 11lb dog finished 4lb bag in 3 months. She still likes it, and big nuggets in the morning and small kibbles + wet dog food in the evening works fine for her. I do notice her breath is fresh, except for the morning breath. She is now 15 months old, so still too early to tell, but the vet said her oral health is very good for now. I also notice there is no plaque building up. I am subscribing this now, and recommending around other dog owners.As for the reviews that complains about the size being too big, I believe it’s up to your dog’s preference, rather than the size. I had 5lb yorkie came over, and she destroyed 5 nuggets in no time, loving it. I guess this is worth trying!2nd update March 2021:I have kept my dog’s diet as I described above over 1 year now, and my dog is 2 and a half year old, who won’t allow me brushing her teeth at all. She doesn’t like any dental chews out there, so basically this kibble is the only defender for her oral health. That and her love for antler and chewing on soft clothes toys, are what I guess helping her teeth healthy. She still prefers this over her kibble, and she eats average 4 to 8 nuggets of this everyday. Her theeth are in a very good condition! I believe it’s safe to say this food really helps dog’s oral health! Regardless of dog’s size, it depends on each dog whether he loves this or not, but if he does, this is a must have item! I highly recommend.

Seems to help pups’ teeth
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.

Excellent treats
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.

Too big
The bites are too big for my 7lb chihuahua to safely eat, but it’s not that big of a deal because my labrador likes them mixed into her food.

We use this for our dog and also our Daughter uses it for hers, she recommended it for us when we got our dog. It is very good for their teeth and they seem to be bright and white after using it for a year. It seems big in size but our very small maltipoo has no problem eating it.

My Husky X enjoys eating Hills Oral dog food! And thank you to the Amazon driver (s) always friendly and for calling to see if I was home to not leave the bag in the rain..

Amazon often has the best price on this food. I usually watch it and buy when it’s on sale. I frequently check the price against the big pet food stores in my region. I have a little dog that has awful teeth and this food seems to keep his mouth clean. Despite the kibble size he manages fine. I think the larger kibbles actually encourage him to chew his food instead of swallowing it whole which is better for his teeth as the kibble texture “scrubs” his teeth. Combined with regular brushing it seems to have made a difference for my dog. He also seems to enjoy his food, gobbling it up willingly and even accepting kibbles sometimes as treats.My vet recommended this food so I feel good about giving it to him.

My 4.4 Shih Tzu who is 9 years old will not eat anything but this dog food. I have tried but she loves the big bites food. She has no trouble eating it.
