This chew is made from a single layer of beef rawhide sourced from North American cattle and coated with a solution built around chlorhexidine gluconate. The formula also includes hydrolyzed poultry liver, maltodextrin, sodium gluconate, mixed tocopherols, glucono-delta-lactone, and potassium sorbate. As the dog gnaws on the rawhide, the abrasive texture works against the tooth surface while the coating bathes the mouth in chlorhexidine to address odor-causing bacteria. The hide is baked rather than tanned and contains no formaldehyde or quaternary ammonium compounds. Each 8.4 oz package holds a supply of individually sized chews meant for dogs weighing less than 11 pounds. The product is intended as an intermittent or supplemental addition to a dog's regular diet and dental routine, not a meal replacement, and works best when a dog chews thoroughly rather than swallowing pieces whole.
