Wellness WHIMZEES Value Box Dog Dental Treats, Natural Chews, Medium Size (44 Count)

Getting this out of the way first thing-my 94 pound dog has a stomach made out of tissue paper. I cannot give him 99% of the dog products out there because the majority of the preservatives used makes him incapacitated for days. He gets so ill that he cannot walk, we have to carry him out and hold him up every 5 minutes so he can be sick. It is not fun. I had to do a crash course in dog nutrition because almost every single dog food makes him sick, the only ones that don’t cost $10 a meal and I cannot afford $20 a day to feed this behemoth. So I cook everything for him, including treats.They have these things loose, at dog head height, in Petco. My dog snapped one up before I could stop him one day (he never grabs things in there, he just noses whatever new toy he’s picking out, and we leave so my guard was down). I expected 5 days of hell and broth and rice hand fed to him (he doesn’t have the strength to eat during these reactions). The dog...was fine. Absolutely no reaction at all. A week or so later, I gave him another to test. Still fine. Now he gets them on the regular, and he’s...still fine.He’s a pretty big dog, but he’s decided he has a dainty little mouth, so he truly prefers the small ones. I put my foot down and stepped it up to medium ones. It lasts him about 5 minutes. Which is actually a pretty long time for him. They don’t have much of a smell at all, they don’t leave a weird residue on your hands, they don’t seem to stain carpeting or bedspreads, and the dog is bananas for these things. After his noon walk, we come in, he heads straight for the counter, chews his vitamin up, then gets his Whimzee reward for choking down the vile vitamin. I used to have to hide the vile vitamin in a piece of chicken or liver, but now he sucks it down because “WHIMZEE!!!!!”.I cannot attest to whether it helps control tartar. My dog is a “social” chewer, and he gnaws on a bone when we are companionably hanging out while I’m reading, or when we’re all hanging out talking, so he doesn’t need dental chews because his teeth are super clean. He doesn’t need it for breath control because he only gets human grade home cooked food to avoid preservatives, which means no doggy breath.I do know that they will not make your dog ill if they have preservative sensitivities. They digest just fine if you have a dog who actually chews them instead of gulping down pieces. They may digest fine if you have a gulper, but I don’t have that experience.I also know that they are a godsend for me. It is one less thing I have to make for the dog. 30 treats a month doesn’t sound like much work, but when you have a full time job and have to cook the family meals and the dog meals and the human desserts and the dog treats and you have a 90 pound dog...30 l as treats is kind of a big deal! Add the lack of vile vitamin bribery on a daily basis, and you have a definite win.They are a bit pricey, and I have considered cheaper options, but this one works. After $4500 in vet bills figuring out why he was always so ill, you tend to shy away from varying from what you know works and won’t try to kill your dog. I do save a bit by doing the subscribe and save plan, with the bonus of never forgetting to get them and running out.After reading the ingredients in a lot of the cheaper chews, these truly are the healthier option for your dog. I’ve read a lot of ingredient labels in dog products over the years with the issues my dog has had, and some of the products contain things you wouldn’t dream of feeding your dog. The ingredients in the Whimzees are pretty clear and safe. The only thing I would change is to add a bit of ginger for flavor and to give a bit extra towards aiding digestion and stomach upsets for when your dog is feeling a bit off.

Normally this product is AMAZING! My Golden Retriever loves these and they keep his teeth super nice! The last time I received them, however, they were the wrong size. He needs the large, and we got the medium. He loves these different shapes, except the alligator is his least favorite.

My dogs LOVE whimzee time! I like that they come in the three different shapes so that it helps clean the dogs teeth more efficiently than other dental chewsMy dogs get their whimzees everyday and they all have beautiful teeth!

It’s impossible to brush my hyperactive dogs teeth, these however do an amazing job of keeping them clean. He gets so excited to get one, and reminds me (incessantly) if I forget to give him one after he’s eaten his dinner. They’re more chewy than Greenies so it takes him a little longer to eat, which I feel helps to clean more thoroughly. I can’t recommend these enough!

The dogs absolutely love them, and they keep their teeth nice and clean, I give them one each a day. I haven’t tried one myself, I imagine they’d be a bit chewy for me. Love that they’re natural ingredients, no rubbish.

I have purchased the 44 pack from Amazon twice and each time they were delivered with a broken seal and were placed in a zip lock bag. Needless to say, I didn’t feel like giving them to my dog. Called Amazon customer service and they were great about the issue. They immediately gave a full refund. I have in the past purchased this large box at other stores and there is no baggie inside the box. In all fairness, I have also purchased the 27 pack of Whimzees from Amazon with no issue. This review is about the size Medium 44 pack. Other than the packing issue, my dog absolutely LOVES Whimzees! The different shapes are sooo adorable! He barks at the alligator ones before chewing them and picks up the other ones and tosses them around before chewing! He loves Whimzees!

My 50 lb mix loves these. She gets one each night and gets super excited for them. They seem to keep her bad breath in check (I also brush her teeth). She seems to love the taste. They frequently go on sale and I stock up when they do!

My dogs love these. No issues.
