Pedigree Dental Dog Treats DentaStix Small Dogs

Dentastixs are not worth the gamble on your dog’s health – All things being equal in my two dog’s diets with zero issues, we gave them each one dentastix (4” long piece), appropriate for their sizes, and both of them got sick the next day. Loose stools, foul smell, some mucus and blood in one stool. One dog is still having issues 48 hours later and if there is no improvement with a safe diet to calm his… Read more

internals down, I’m going to have to go to the vet. So thanks, Dentastix. This product should not be on the shelves anymore. 4/2/24.

Do not Use – If you love your dog, do not give them this product, both our Cavoodles experienced vomiting within a hour of consuming these. Vomiting up yellow bile. Never had a problem with another brand. Show details

We call this Breakfast – My Daughter bred my dog on 21 August 2015. We picked him up then picked a caravan up in November 2015. We take our dog everytime we go on the Caravan. My dog has chewed up a Dentastix for breakfast ever since he could handle it. I noticed a couple of times in the early days he swallowed one whole. He soon learnt after complications not to do that… Read more

mostly & he holds it in his two front paws & carefully chews it every morning. His teeth are still quite nice and I put it down to the Dentastix. We make sure we always have dentastix and don't ever let him down because when my wife gets up he comes to the cupboard with her to get one.

EXCELLENT ! and saved $400-$900 on vet quotes to correct his "dental health problems" – Absolutely essential for dental health! I had three opinions from local vets that my (Spaniel-sized) dog had 'severe dental health problems' and quotes varied from $400 to over $900 to rectify. I was surprised and worried so I thought I'd try dental sticks - I initially tried some green ones but my dog had constant diarrhea and some vomiting so… Read more

changed to Dentastix. His teeth seemed to improve within weeks and a month later he had to see a vet for an injured paw. The health report from one of the same vets on the day: "Dental health - Good"!! I was amazed and thankful that I had put him on Dentastix and continue to use them, knowing his teeth/gums aren't causing him any pain or disease, his breath is better and I have saved a LOT of money on vet bills. I would absolutely recommend Dentastix to any pet owner, to help maintain good dental health and keep their vet care expenses down! I have only seen a diarrhea problem when he hadn't had his food for that day - otherwise no adverse reaction at all, and he's eating more enthusiastically now which is great.

Great product – I’ve given my dogs these for years. I do exactly what the last writer said.i break them in half so they usually have one whole one at the end of the day. Show details

Made my dog sick – My dog is fine with greenies and minties, but these made him sick. I wasn’t sure if it was from the dentastix so I tried giving him another a week later… he so much as put it in his mouth and started throwing up immediately. This time he won’t even eat it. I just threw away a bag of 100 of these. Show details

DentaStyx – as in the mythological river of death. While in the Boston area helping out with a new grandchild on an otherwise pleasant visit, and out of regular treats, we purchased these instead. Our older dog started having bloody diarrhea for the first time ever about five hours later, which lasted about three days. Luckily we did not waste over a grand… Read more

contacting an emergency nighttime vet, but I had to walk her every half hour so she didn't ruin our hosts' carpets, including the night it was forty below with the wind chill. My wife happened to mention the brand name early on and I couldn't believe all the same cause-and-effect bad reviews online. Amazing that this is still on the market.

These have never been an issue before but now – I'm not sure if it's a bad batch or if they've changed ingredients but my 2 dogs became very ill with both vomitting and diarrhea after eating these. I will never buy again. Show details

If you love your animal, NEVER BUY THESE! – We brought our Labrador pup home 3 weeks ago excited with all the treats…dentastix original being one of them.. Within 1 hour our 11 week puppy had vomited and was extremely lethargic, lost bladder control, appetite, wouldn’t drink water, was hardly responsive, extremely dizzy..my young children were inconsolable thinking our new family member was… Read more

dying infront of them.. THE MOST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AS A DOG OWNER!!! How these are on the market after all the reviews is an absolute disgrace!! This also cost us $1100 in emergency veterinary bills! We should send the vet bills to this joke of a company!

DON’T recommend. Puppy required all day vet observation – My 5 month old pup vomited bile non-stop all night and had to go to the vet in the morning. Gave me a big scare. I checked the age recommendation and ingredients prior to purchasing but it still upset his little tummy. I’ve since checked the reviews and wish I had checked beforehand, seems like my pup had a mild reaction compared to others. They… Read more

must have changed their ingredients because my old dog (who had tummy sensitivities and intolerances) loved dentastix’s. Overall, I would definitely not use this product again!

Do not give to your dog – Bought this product and gave my 2 year old Terrier mix one. After 24 hours she was throwing up what looked like blood clots In the vomit. Monitored her and following day she was better. I will never buy this product again. Threw the package away!

The worst. Stay away!!! – Noticed our dog threw up yellow bile a few times on these (never had an issue in past years) & suspected it was this causing it but gave it the benefit of the doubt. Tonight he had full body spasms like we’ve never seen and then he threw up after eating it. Why would you even make treats like this?? This is the worst, can’t believe it’s still on the market and they can sell this legitimately. Show details

Absolute cr#p – Gave this to my 6 month old Maltese Terrier cross. She got so lethargic within half an hour and was not at all well. Googled them and found their reviews. Have also complained to the company. Took back to Coles for a refund and bought this range instead. https://bellandbone.com.au/ Show details

Makes my dog violently ill – This product is horrible. Has made my dog sick in the past. Would only recommend using them if you need your dog to vomit. He used to get them as a young dog, then we suspected that it was the dentastix that made him vomit so we stopped using them. Have not used them for years. Tried him again on them to the same result, big piles of dog vomit all over the place! Toxic product. AVOID. Show details

Awful, please do not give these to your dog – Gave one of these to my 12 year old yorkie and within an hour she was vomiting violently and had constant runs which then turned into just blood!!! Very scary experience and cannot understand why this product is still on the shelves!! Show details

Please do your research – We just spent the last 3 hours in emergency. Our Toy Cavoodle was ok on it for the first few days but today, he went flat and limp and of course as first time puppy owner's, we went into panic mode. He was vomiting and extremely lethargic. Please do your own research before purchasing. Not worth the panic attack! Show details

DentaStix Dental Disaster – Switched from Rawhide Chews after seeing how they were made and after only 1 DentaStix, our pup became lethargic and not as keen to eat as usual eventually eating because we persisted. Next morning she vomitted and is showing signs she may vomit some more. It is the only change to her diet and happened so quickly afterwards that we can surmise it was the DentaStix that caused it. Show details

Something must have changed – Dog used to love them but something must have changed because they now give her the runs and make her vomit. It's such a shame because prior to this she has been having one a day since she was a pup (she's now 4) and they did great for her gums and teeth. Show details

Do Not Buy... Allergic Reaction Rash – My initial concern about the rash was for my male dog, Biscuit. He was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma and prior to the diagnosis the vet prescribed an antibiotics, since his lymph nodes were swollen, she was thinking maybe it was an infection instead, so I noticed the rash after the meds started so thought that is what the rash was from until… Read more

yesterday when I noticed that my other dog, Buttercup, developed the same rash, then I realized that it was these treats. These treats gave both of my dogs a severe allergic rash on their back above their tail. It also made their hair fall out where the rash appeared. I felt so sorry for them but didn't realize it was the treats until my second dog started having the rash, it just took longer for her to get it. The only change in both dogs diet were these treats so I know for sure, that it was these toxic treats. Please do not buy these for your dogs!!!!

Caused vomiting – Made our 5 month old puppy vomit for a day and a half after having one of these sticks for the first time. He was better then had another one and was sick again after. He hasn't had any more and is fine again. Needless to say the rest went in the bin.  Show details

Made our dog very sick – We gave our dog a 1/4 piece of dentastix (we cut her a very small piece to try) for small dogs and couple hours later she started vomiting. This product should be pulled off the market immediately as feeding it to your dog could have serious consequences!!! Please do not buy this product!! Show details

ALLERGIC REACTION – Finally worked out that everytime we gave our 14month old Maltese Terrier these he started shaking uncontrollably, panting, lethargic and some frothing at the mount. It was terrible to see you like that, and I will never buy these for him again. Show details

Neurotoxicity and vomiting – 4 months old Bernedoodle Had an original dentastix this morning. Within 30 minutes started head tremor, twitching and lethargy Within an hour vomited twice and was drooling excessively and runny nose. Show details

My dog got so sick from this product – I started my dog on this product late last week. One every other day. By She didn’t want to eat they way she always does. On Sunday morning she started vomiting yellow bike. This lasted most of the day. Later that night she started vomiting a white substance. She just laid in the yard eating grass. What a horrible 24 hours we’ve had. She will… Read more

still not eat, but am hoping she will later today. The only change to her diet was adding Dentastix. I will never use this product again.

Uncontrollable vomiting . Bad side effects!! – I just bought the combo pack from Costco and gave one of the large sticks to each of my dogs. One 30# beagle and a 90# retriever. Both through up all night about eight spots over my kitchen floor. The Dentastix was the only change in diet or food. The have now thrown up 2 nights straight. My retriever is doing better and eating but my beagle is… Read more
