For those of us with small dogs, while it’s great that they can curl up on the couch and breathe directly into our faces, sometimes the mighty smell coming out of those tiny mouths feels like it’s coming from some much larger (and stinkier) depths. Brushing daily isn’t always realistic — especially when your dog acts like a toothbrush is a medieval torture device. That’s where these dog chews come in.

Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs Beef have earned a devoted fan base for one very simple reason: they work fast. One shopper put it bluntly, “Literally 4 days after purchasing this product, her teeth look almost completely clean.” For anyone who’s ever struggled with dog breath that could clear a room, that’s the kind of review that makes you hit “add to cart” immediately.
Unlike a lot of dental sticks that crumble in seconds or smell like they’ve been under the porch for a week, these dog oral hygiene chews are made from baked (not tanned) North American beef hide, which gives them a natural abrasive texture. They’re coated with a poultry flavor dogs actually love, plus a dual-enzyme system (glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase) that mixes with saliva to help break down plaque and freshen breath. Your dog does the chewing — the enzymes do the dirty work.
Dog Owners Say These Oral Hygiene Dental Chews Work in ‘Just 4 Days’
Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs
Small dog owners are especially vocal about the fit. “Great for cleaning teeth, and my 4lb. Chihuahua loves these taste! It’s the perfect size for her tiny mouth,” one reviewer said. Another added, “My picky Yorkies LOVE these chews! They think they are treats and get one a day.” But they’re not just for the little guys — the chews come in multiple sizes, from extra-small to large, so bigger dogs can get in on the breath-freshening action too.
Even dogs with sensitive stomachs seem to handle these dog teeth-cleaning chews well. “She has been doing GREAT,” one shopper wrote, after worrying about introducing something new. Another noted, “It doesn’t smell horrible,” which, frankly, is a glowing endorsement for a dental chew.
Of course, like with any chew, it’s smart to keep an eye on your dog while they’re gnawing — swallowing big chunks can be a choking hazard and potentially lead to blockages, no matter the brand. But for a lot of dog owners, Virbac’s C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs have been the game-changer. Or as one terrier parent said, “They have been an excellent method for keeping her teeth pretty much tartar free.”
