My 7 year old Australian Shepherd, Goose, recently died with stomach cancer. While being diagnosed at UT Vet hospital in Knoxville, the vet asked if she had been exposed to ESTROGEN...over an extended period of time...to toxic levels. I was flabbergasted. While researching the treats and foods she ate on a daily basis we discovered that these Dental hygiene sticks contain a preservative know to cause cancer, especially stomach cancer in rodents. The preservatives BHT and BHA are synthetic and mimic ESTROGEN!! They are used to extend the shelf life. According to the package my dog should have been receiving 2 sticks daily. While she only received 1 per day for her dental hygiene her levels of estrogen were apparently high enough to alarm this vet to alarm me. Goose was so sick that she threw up her stomach lining!!! She may have saved her brother's life as we are now aware of the toxins Purina (and others) are putting in their dog foods and treats. Please be an advocate for your pet and limit/end their exposure to these toxins.

Beware - Full of dangerous artificial ingredients

Do not give your dogs Purina DentaLife treats. They contain several preservatives and artificial ingredients, two (BHA and BHT) that are known carcinogens in humans

Do not give your dogs Purina DentaLife treats. They contain several preservatives and artificial ingredients, two (BHA and BHT) that are known carcinogens in humans and suspected to be carcinogens in dogs and one (sodium tripolyphosphate) that is known to cause stomach upset and kidney stones. The U.S. government has also listed sodium tripolyphosphate as a possible neurotoxin. This product should be taken off the market, but instead of doing the right thing, Purina denies that the chews are causing problems. My 70 lb. dog is going through a second night of nausea and distress in one week after having these treats for the first time because we didn't realize at first what was causing him to become ill. However, nothing else in his diet changed and he hasn't gotten into anything. A quick look at the ingredient list confirmed my suspicions. I only wish I had done that BEFORE I bought this product and gave it to my dog. Do not give these to your dog. Look for treats without a bunch of dangerous artificial ingredients and preservatives instead.

I did receive this item as a free sample for my pet. My first impression of course was the packaging which was pleasant to the eye (you can never lose putting a pup on the front!). Upon opening the bag (which of course my dog heard from the back of the house), the smell was fresh and at least for the dog, something to make her drool!. The snack was whisked away and quickly eaten. I didn’t notice a significant change to breathe (like not after a human brushing teeth/etc) but there was no bad breath, so I’ll take it as a plus. My pooch is about 50 lbs so I went with the large breed size and it seemed to work perfect for her. I would certainly purchase again since she really seemed to love them!

I received a free sample to try in exchange for my honest review. And I must honestly say, that my pup Theo absolutely loves these “treats”, and so do I. His breath often smells like his food (fish) all day long, and he is a kissing boy so he is always is our faces. After his first one, his breath had absolutely no smell at all!! He also has no build up, and isn’t bleeding when chewing his bones. I was amazed, and recommend to everyone. These come in different sizes for different sized pups, so it really is perfect!

The second I opened the bag they were interested in the smell pulled two out of the bag and my dogs chowed them down with in seconds, I got these as a free sample to try out to see what my fur baby's thought about them I must say they loved them. I Love the face that there are no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives and these ones where made for larger dog's I give a five star cause my dogs are a little on the picky side when it comes to their treats but they loved the Purina Dentalife activfresh.

Dental chews have sugar!

While we didn't mind the honey with the spirulina, why would a product labelled "dental chew" have added sugar? Sugar is to please the human's taste buds but we do not chew these! Let's face it: honey + added sugar is bad for dogs' teeth and teaches them to like sugar. That's why this rating is a 4-star, rather than a 5.

I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. My large breed dog absolutely loves this product. I use to try another brand of dental treats and she would always wait until last to eat the dental, but with these new DentaLife dental treats it's the first thing she eats in the morning.

Molly finishes supper and runs to find me wherever I am, with that 'urgent' look in her eyes. I ask what she wants, then answer myself with "Is it time to brush your teeth? Show me where to find your toothbrush!". She runs to the treat cabinet and does the happy dance. Which for an 80 pound pitt/shepherd mix is pretty impactful. She loves her 'toothbrush' and gets quite grumpy if I'm distracted and don't provide it quickly enough. Plus - as a rescue she came to me never having any dental care and a sub-par diet. These have made a huge difference in her teeth and gums.

We have three dogs, and the 12 year old in particular has terrible breath that cannot be fixed, no matter how many dental cleanings, etc. we do. This actually has helped so much! Before, I could tell when he was in my car with his head near mine while I was driving because of his breath... but now I can't. And, to be clear, he's been on the regular dentalife dental chews for years, but recently switched to ActivFresh. It's worth the cost difference!
