I'll apologize in advance for the length of this review, but it's more of a story than a review.

After adopting a five-year-old Golden Retriever last year, I had to spend a few hundred dollars to have her teeth professionally cleaned. She had a lot of staining on her front teeth and canines and a lot of hard calculus on her large premolars. (See image I posted above for reference.) The vet had to remove one of her large bottom premolars due to the amount of decay. After the surgery, I committed to brushing her teeth two to three times per week, but that wasn't enough. The tartar and calculus came back within months. I began to get concerned that I'd have to get her teeth cleaned again and they'd have to (eventually) remove her other large, bottom premolar. (Imagine a dog without its bottom premolars!) Despite my rigorous brushing, the calculus would not come off. Going against the advice of many vets, I BBQ'd a slab of beef ribs and let her chew on them, but she refused to gnaw on them. She'd remove the meat and leave the bone. I then went to the pet store and spent about $20 on an assortment of chewable bones in hopes one of them would do the trick. The first one I gave her was the Purina Busy Bone. She went right at it and consumed almost the whole thing within 20 minutes. I let her consume the rest of it the following day, but didn't expect to see a difference so fast, so I didn't inspect her teeth immediately. A couple days later while brushing her teeth, I couldn't believe how much of the calculus was gone. I was so relieved that I wouldn't have to get her teeth professionally cleaned again and that I'd found something safe and effective to keep her tartar and calculus at bay. I committed to buying several of these while they were on sale.

The only downside to these Busy Bones is that they get really sticky when wet. Your dog's paws and legs WILL be sticky after chewing on one of these, so be prepared. Either let them do it outside or plan on wiping their legs afterwards. (It's a small price to pay, though.)

I really feel for the guy with the corgi whose dog almost choked when the Busy Bone became lodged (see review titled, "Dangerous Choking Hazard"). As a result, I will certainly monitor my dog while she's chewing on these in the future.

Good luck everyone.

This is the largest quantity and price per piece that I have been able to find. Not even the pet stores or whole sale catalogs have so far been able to match this. I love these bones because they last longer then most of the compressed non raw hide chew bones. The drawback is that most stores sell them for about 3 to 3.50 a piece.

I have greyhounds and these are a great addition to their teeth cleaning routine. It is the only thing that helps other than actually brushing their teeth which I don't do often enough. So what could be bad about this? They help keep my dog's teeth clean and my dogs love them. Win/win

My lab mix is about 45 pounds, not an aggressive chewer at all. She loves these, and they last awhile keeping her busy. My bully breed is 85 pounds, and he has jaws of steel. He bites off chunks of these and just chews them up like dog food. His lasted less than 10 minutes. He did throw it around a bit tossing it in the air, before eating it...Definitely a good product just not for big dogs who are aggressive chewers.

I first bought a pack of 2 in a store. Our dog Chewy ate the first one, but the second one we gave him a few days later he walked around the house with it for hours, then went outside and tried to bury it. He never tried to bury a bone before. He dug but wouldn't put it in, who wants to eat a dirty bone lol. I bought much more reasonably priced ones on Amazon and now he'll carry it around for hours and tries to bury it under my pillows and covers and my daughter's couch. Then he finally eats it. I read about this from another Amazon customer and couldn't believe my eyes. Have fun with your dog with these Busy Bones.
