Halo Spot's Dental Chews - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Britster · 04-19-2011, 04:54 PM

I just noticed Halo now has dental chews. I did not see them on Petco's website yet but it states they are new.

Spot's Chew? Natural Edible Dental Treat for Dogs Sm/Med - Pumpkin Flavor (7.2oz)

I was wondering if anyone had tried them? Jackson got a Dentastix the other day from one of his doggy friend's mommy's, lol, and he loved it. But I don't really want them to be a regular part of his diet (made by Pedigree). I'm not really doing it so much for dental care, as I don't believe they'd help all that much, more just for a treat.

I think Halo is a much better company than Pedigree, obviously. Anyones, just looking for some input and putting it out there for anyone interested.

Interesting. The ingredients look good. I'll wait and see if the pet store i use starts carrying them since she carries Halo food and she really researches eveything she sells. I'll probably try them

WOW! Those look really nice and actually have really good ingredients that my kiddos could have. I am going to look into then. My question would be how hard are they? If they have no give when you stick your fingernail in them I would worry, that is how Armani broke his tooth. I will have to go check out PetCo so I can feel one.

They look like the Dentastix and if they are like them... they are really soft. I break them in half when Jackson gets some from his doggy friend

He eats them really fast so they're not really helpful in keeping them occupied but he enjoys them. He finishes one in less than 2 minutes.

I'm glad I found this brand cuz I couldn't get myself to buy the Pedigree dentastix... LoL, but he really liked the ones he tried.

I can't bring myself to buy Pedigree either but my baby eats Halo salmon dry, so I will look for the sticks. Thx.

Good to hear- I am going to try to get to PetCo this weekend sometime.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. My Teddie eats part halo spot's stew salmon puppy food, part Welness, so maybe he would like these. Always on the lookout for something new...

LuvTaycieGirl · 04-29-2011, 07:33 AM

I just saw these at Petco yesterday! I didn't buy a bag yet but I think I will be going back. They seem rather big to me in the package, but I think they would be easy to chew on.

BonBon · 04-29-2011, 07:40 AM

Now these look like something I'd like to try. Thanks Brit!

ritapatt · 04-29-2011, 07:41 AM

Ziva eats these type of chews so fast I don't think they really do much teeth cleaning- but a side effect we have had- "rubbery" poop that won't let go!

She Hates it!

LacieSK · 06-08-2011, 07:27 AM

I just started giving Lacie these today..Lacie is 6months old, and the package says that they do not recommend puppies use the sticks, but I've given her half to chew on . She loves it! To be safe I will not be giving these to her every day (as per the package), but probably once every three days.

dogbert · 06-08-2011, 02:31 PM

The pumpkin ones smell wonderful!
