| Merrick Texas Toothpicks Merrick Texas Toothpicks users, how many can I safely give my boys each week? They would happily eat one per day if I allowed them. How many do you give your dogs?

| Hmmm that's a great question. I give each of my girls one every other day to every two days. Maybe that's too much, but they bug me until I give in. My vet was amazed at how clean their teeth were recently. Moka is almost 4 and has never had a teeth cleaning and has no tarter build up. He said to keep doing what I am doing.

I am still mulling over whether to try bones from the butcher. My concern is that my boys are very aggressive chewers and I was told by raw food feeders that weight-bearing bones from large animals can easily fracture teeth. I worry about broken teeth.

I agree. Merrick gives the fat/protein percentage of this treat, but they don't say how many calories, perhaps because the treat varies in size.
