(Details of the package depreciated, as of 2012-10-23 And yes, a little more detail, I would of course also have liked, especially with regard to the minerals and inorganic materials..)
My Little (five and a half month old Golden) plastered the things within minutes. Anyone who hopes to make a long time to deal with his favorite, he should get / give for this purpose rather bone or rawhide. It is important and which is also available on the package, provide the Wüffel sufficient water (actually already a matter of course). Anyway, he runs after getting straight to the water bowl.
As for the smell criticized: I can not confirm that. After chemical smell really do not now.
In various forums is reported that Dentastix can have a laxative effect. That's when my Wüffel not the case, so I forgive the 5 star (in the opposite case it would probably just become a star). I'm not sure if I allow the dental care effect konterkarrier, but these sticks I've already kleingeschnibbelt order to administer them as a special treat or abuse of search games, where I am now gone over to make their own treats.
He has dropped his milk teeth only recently and the new have come before, I can of course no statements apply whether that's true with the 80% reduction in tartar formation. This will then show in the coming months / years. Until then he gets them in any case continue.
Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Why? He loves them, tolerate them well, the breeder will take you as a souvenir with (soo so bad they can not be).
