Ask Susan PetersPurina Veterinary Diets Dental Chews Dog Food Review:

Purina Veterinary Diets Dental Chews Canine Treats doesn't seem to have anything special in it. This is pretty much junk with a high price. Ol Roy, cheap stuff, scored much better than animal fat. If your vet is selling this stuff they are making a huge profit at your dog's expense! Chewing on a shoe would be a healthier choice for your dog's treat.
