Editor's Notes
March 14, 2019:
Removed the Banjo & Bowden's Chicken Stackers due to availability concerns, along with the Pawstruck Natural Cow Hooves, which have a tendency to shatter and can be dangerous. If you have a particularly aggressive chewer, EcoKind Himalayan Gold, Lucky Premium Rawhides, and Buck Bone Organics should keep them busy for a while. On the other hand, Rocco & Roxie Gourmet are softer than most others, making them great for senior dogs or those who can't handle tough textures. While chewing on anything for extended periods can have benefits for dogs' oral hygiene, Greenies Original, Virbac C.E.T. VeggieDent, and Milk-Bone Brushing Treats are specifically designed to reduce plaque and tartar buildup and maintain dental health, which can also have the added benefit of getting rid of nasty breath.
