Our vet recommended getting "C.E.T. chews" to help clean our dog's teeth, so I looked around online and came across the VeggieDent chews and the HEXtra premium chews. Both of these met the requirement of being "C.E.T chews" but they looked (and sounded from the description) very different from each other, so I wasn't sure what kind to buy. Based on the reviews for each, it still wasn't clear what would work better, so I ordered one pack of each. I was worried that the VeggieDent chews would too easily be consumed and therefore wouldn't do much for cleaning her teeth, and I was worried that the HEXtra chews would be a choking hazard because they wouldn't come apart easily enough and she might swallow them whole.

The VeggieDent chews were definitely easy for her to break pieces off of, but she was quite happy doing so, and it took her about 15s or maybe a bit more to eat it. She chewed each little piece that broke off while she ate it, and it was definitely cleaning her teeth. The HEXtra chews, however, are a choking hazard, and I will never give her another one. She was very excited to get the HEXtra chew (they smell terrible but apparently good to a dog) and chewed on it for a second or two, and then in one quick gulp it was gone. The whole chew, still in one piece. It was in her mouth for about 2 seconds. She is a VERY strong chewer (she can take chunks off of a black kong easily in 30 seconds or so, and she's a medium-large dog), and had no desire to chew pieces off of the HEXtra chew, I'm guessing because the moistened chew seemed like something to be swallowed whole. The HEXtra chews were useless for cleaning her teeth and a choking hazard, and I would never give her another one.

In summary, the VeggieDent chews were great for cleaning our dog's teeth (though they didn't last particularly long, but if you're looking for something to last long, try a kong product), while the HEXtra chews did nothing for our dog's teeth and were also a choking hazard because she swallowed it whole within a second or two.

Note: I've posted this review for the HEXtra chews as well, in case it's useful for people who may be debating between these two types of C.E.T. chews.

Verbac products in general have been SUPERIOR in my opinion, especially the HEXtra chews. I thought I'd give these VeggieDent Chews a try for some variety. Here's the problem since these are marketed as a means to clean a dogs teeth, I would expect them to last a while during which the chewing and gnawing action would indeed help the dogs teeth, but here's the snag, I have a small-to-medium size dog and he went through one of these chews in minutes, whereas the HEXtra chews last much longer. There wasn't any "chewing" involved, the dog just bit the VeggieDent Chew and it breaks off into smaller semi-sharp shards and only chews momentarily then its gone. I would have expected these chews to have a more chewy consistency rather than a hard consistency so a dog couldn't just bite through the chew and swallow the smaller pieces. I cannot possibly fathom any benefit to the dog's teeth in terms of removing plaque or reducing tarter. I wouldn't buy these again and will stick with the HEXtra line of chews.

This is one of three products we rotate daily for our dog to keep her teeth and breath clean. We have been using this approach for almost eight years, and her teeth have remained very healthy and her breath has never been a problem.

Amazon provided these chews for a better price that we had gotten at the vets, and we didn't have to drive there to receive them (or find out we'd have to come back as her size was currently unavailable).

I like to keep my dogs teeth as clean as possible in between her yearly cleanings at the vet. After trying a variety of methods, I settled on these chews for my dog(lab/shepard mix 80 pounds) because the rawhide C.E.T. chews were too easy for her to tear apart and choke on the large pieces. The thin slices of rawhide tear too easily for larger and stronger dogs. My dog nearly choked to death on the rawhide chews. So I switched to these chews for my dog and they work great. My dogs breath doesn't stink and this formulation is easy on her stomach.

One of my dogs has allergies and can't have any food or treats containing meat products. So I thought purchasing VeggieDents was a logical choice and bought then on three different occasions. The 3rd bag not only contained the Chews, it also contained small white WORMS. That was upsetting enough, but I didn't notice the worms right away and had given my dogs these chews 2 separate times.

I contacted the manufacturer,and Virbac wanted the bag sent to them to do an investigation. I sent the bag back expecting a response. No response, but I received a new package of VeggieDents in the mail. This was over 6 months ago. I called Virbac on several occasions, but no one knew about the bag of worms and chews. No investigation either.

No more VeggieDents for my dogs!
