DentalifePurina Made in USA Facilities Cat Dental Treats, Savory Salmon Flavor - 19 oz. Canister

The 3 categories for rating this product are flavor, scent, and value for the money. Well, I guess me as the owner of the cat, I would not be able to speak to the flavor and scent part of the rating...... ;)The only thing I can tell is, Simba the cat loves the midnight dental treat. And this is the only dental treat that he would not gobble down without chewing. Kinda of defeat the purpose of the dental part of the treat if a cat can just swallow without chewing.This reason alone is enough for this dental treat to be top ranked!! Enough said!@!

This is a great product, and I was relieved to find it available on Amazon and easy to order. I was disappointed when local pet supply stores stopped stocking Purina DentaLife Cat Treats and tried to steer me to unfamiliar brands supposedly more "natural". My cat has trouble chewing other brands or doesn't like the flavor and won't touch them again. She loves the DentaLife. She is about nine years old and has lost two teeth. Soon after I adopted her at two years, her breath was awful and I let her vet do the dental cleaning which requires general anesthesia. Although it did the job, I hate putting a cat through that, and I've heard stories about pets not coming out of the anesthesia and dying. Rather than go that route every year, I try to maintain my cat's dental health with a regular remedy at home. The DentaLife treats seem to be working. I don't detect bad breath when my cat is near me. The vet has been impressed at how clean her teeth are during regular check-ups. On learning that I was using DentaLife, the vet also thought that fiber content in the treats might help alleviate a chronic hairball issue (although not completely, and that's another story). The VOHC seal displayed on this product was mentioned by the vet as something to look for when shopping for pet dental care products.

Madison loves these and it does a great job keeping his teeth in great shape. I WOULD PULL BACK NUBS IF I EVER TRIED TO BRUSH HIS TEETH!

I buy these every couple of months. I only have 1 cat, so this size container lasts a long time. She loves them and will actually drool for them. They are her favorites.

My cats liked these dental chews right away, and I'm glad I bought the large plastic jar full of them, because the directions are ridiculous!According to the label, you have to give your cat 17 of these treats PER DAY to get their teeth clean! SEVENTEEN!!! I wish I had known that, because at 17 a day, this jar will likely last barely a month. That makes these not a great value for the price... The directions also say the treats can't count for more than 10% of the cat's daily caloric intake (probably because the treats don't have proper amounts of taurine or vitamins, etc, to be a food substitute), but with 17 a day, I don't see how that is possible.I guess Purina is saying, "don't replace one of your cat's daily meals with these dental treats, even though 17 treats are basically 1 whole meal." My compromise was to cut the number in half, and give my cats 8 of these each, a few times a week. I hope that is enough to keep their teeth somewhat clean.BTW - you HAVE to clean your cat's teeth! If you don't do it with treats or water treatments or toothbrushing, by the time your cat gets to be 10 years old, they might start losing their teeth, making eating difficult and risking infection. If you don't give them treats, you should use a water supplement. I don't like oral water treatments because of the long list of chemicals on the label. If you can't do either, brush your cat's teeth with a cat toothpaste.I do brush one of my cat's teeth because he is docile enough to let me do it, but my other cat would kill me if I tried. The only other alternative is an annual expensive ($800+) teeth cleaning at the vet. The vet has to put the cat asleep to clean their teeth, which is both expensive and bad for their health.So I'm hoping these treats do some good, even if I only give half the recommended amount, a few times a week instead of daily. I won't know if they work until a few years, and my vet can evaluate my cats' teeth.

My dog and cat both went from decent dental checkups to great ones after using these. In fact, my cat got a compliment on his teeth last vet visit. These are affordable and actually do what they say they will. Plus, it is a treat so you can care for them and treat them at the same time. I would not buy anything else because these work so well. If you have a cat you must check out the cat version.

Cat likes them, they're approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council as of April 2017, and they're higher apparent-quality than Greenies (the only other VOHC-approved anti-tartar treat—not necessarily the only other one that works, or the best one on the market).These have more protein and less fiber than Greenies. They do list ground corn first, whereas Greenies lists chicken meal first—followed by wheat and rice. In other words: Greenies gets the meat-thing first on the ingredients list by using two types of starch-things, each of which is less by weight than the meat-thing. Guaranteed Analysis on Greenies, Proteine/Fat/Fiber? 27%/12%/10%. DentaLife? 32%/10%/7%. Meat doesn't provide fiber, and more protein generally means more meat.Can't determine how well they clean teeth, hence the VOHC accreditation: somebody more-knowledgeable than me says they do. Seems to be enough in here to treat the cat for about a month or so. First time she started scratching the cat tree I fed her a bunch there, and now she keeps tearing it up and then nudging the tub. Looks like she's not going to scratch up my piano any time soon.Subscribe-and-save this with various Sheba flavors and I've got a 15% discount on everything and some $30/month to feed my cat a bunch of premium food!

I feed two feral cats & wanted to help keep their oral health in good shape. I ordered the Purina DentaLife treat in chicken & salmon, they love both flavors.
