Rosie was eager to give a Merrick Dental Chew a try.
Though we haven't used them long enough to report any reduction of plaque or other dental improvements, the dogs did thoroughly enjoy giving them a good taste test.

When I opened the bag, I was not keen on the odor.  However, the individual dog bone shaped chews smelled faintly like alfalfa to me (which is an odor I enjoy.)  The dogs had no hesitation; the treats smelled pawsome to them!
Rudy politely waits his turn to try a Merrick Dental Chew.

I liked the size of these chews for my three big dogs.  I also appreciate that Merrick Big Brush Bones Dental Chews are all natural, grain free, and made in the US from US sourced ingredients.  Those dog lovers whose pets cannot tolerate gluten will like the fact that they are gluten free.

  6. We love Merrick products and thought about reviewing these, but Mom had the nerve to say we have enough snacks right now, so I guess we will be getting a toy which Bailie will most likely have to review. Good to know you like the chews, lip smacking good I guess.
