Virbac C.E.T. IntelliDent Cat Bites Dental Care Cat Treats for Healthy Teeth and Gums Fresh Breath Chicken Flavor 90 per Bag

They really like these cat dental treats. When I'm really exhausted and can't brush their teeth, these are so much more convenient.

The media could not be loaded. The vet recommended this as a dental treat for our cat Stella to help keep her teeth clean and gums healthy.I brought them home thinking she probably wouldn't care for them but I didn't give her cheap, unhealthy store-bought treats anyway so I figured she wouldn't have anything to compare the taste to.She LOVES these things and we use them as treats to reward and when we have to go away for the day as well.They are of course hard, giving her teeth a good workout and I have not noticed any side affects or negative health or digestive events because of them. *with the exception of the one time we gave her 4 in one day - it upset her tummy so we didn't do that again. They recommend 3 a day, our running average with Stella currently, is 2 to 3 per day.When we were down to the last few in the first bag, I searched on Amazon for them just to see if I could get a lower price than at the vet's office and found them to be nearly half the cost of what I'd paid at the office.They come in a zippered resealable bag which is convenient and are shipped quickly which is good because I don't like her to run out of these.

EDIT TO ADD A STAR:My cats decided they like these a lot and work really hard to chew them. I still think they are way too hard but I supplement these to their other treatsORIGINAL: These treats are very hard, harder than the Purina dental ones my cats are used to eating. One cat just swallows them whole and the other isn't super interested in them. We will use them up but doubt I'll repurchase.

I tried this product since Virbac stopped making their wonderful CET Chews for cats. I am so upset that the company did this because I had finally found a cat dental product that actually worked and that was easy to administer. In fact, my two cats LOVED the chews, especially the fish ones. They kept my cats' teeth beautifully clean, and the cats went for them as if they were candy. Why on earth did Virbac decide to stop making a product that was so good?? I really don't understand this at all. It would be one thing if the product was awful and didn't work, but the chews were GREAT! This new product, the Intellident, is a complete waste. My cats won't touch it! The pieces are very small and bite-sized, BUT they are hard as rocks! Obviously, the smell did not attract my cats because they took one sniff and backed off. So, I threw the entire bag in the trash.PLEASE, VIRBAC, BRING BACK THE OLD PRODUCT!!! You were crazy to get rid of it, and you have disappointed a lot of people, I would bet. I can't be alone in my fury. And, by the way, I just took one cat to the vet to have his teeth checked, and he needs a professional cleaning for tartar buildup since we have been out of the chews for probably a year now. WTH, VIRBAC??? You really did a dumb thing.

I have an older cat who is 9 years old. My previous pet passed due to oral cancer so I am trying to maximize her dental care with supplements. She is picky about touching her mouth so we needed a product that she would just eat.This brand was recommended to me by my veterinarian as a good option for her dental health.The product is tasty as my cat after one day immediately recognized the sound of the bag opening and came rushing over. The size of the treats is perfect also. Overall I find the product is clean, functional, with good appearance.This said my cat has sensitivities to grain and diet adjustments, even when following a standard recommended protocol of easing her into things. One day after giving her supplements she had diarrhea, and I attributed that to the grains in this product. So I would not recommend this for sensitive stomachs like hers.

I first ran into these at the vet, they gave me a free sample to help keep my cat's teeth clean and tartar-free. (she was in to get her teeth cleaned)I've got a nightly ritual with my cat now, she runs up the tree, I give her a good brushing, and she gets three of these to chew on. For her they're like treats, she loves the taste and will sniff them out as I hide them around on the tree. Unlike some other cat treats I've tried, these have a decent aroma to them which really attracts her.There's 90 in a bag, and she gets three a day, so that's a bag a month. And her teeth are still pearly white even months after that cleaning, so I think they're doing the job.

I like the idea of having treats that would help my cats keep their teeth clean, but if they won't eat them it doesn't help. Out of six cats, only one (once in a while another would eat them). I've tried them at least two different times, but they didn't prefer them.

My cat loves these teeth-cleaning treats. And I love the paper packaging, which recycles and fits in my mailbox.
