Is the WHIMZEES Brushzees Dental Chews, Medium right for your dog?
- Who it’s for
- A medium dog who needs a daily chew that also cleans — plant-based, grain-free, and on VOHC's accepted list under its own name.
- Who should skip it
- Your dog gulps chews whole. A swallowed chew cleans nothing and is a choking risk — size up and supervise.
The verdict
A dental chew's cleaning effect comes from the chewing, so the important decisions are size and supervision rather than flavour. WHIMZEES are plant-based with six primary ingredients, no meat, no grain, no artificial colours or preservatives — useful for dogs with protein sensitivities who cannot have the usual hide or meat-based chews. This is the Brushzees shape, which VOHC lists by name (all sizes) as accepted for plaque and tartar. The shapes are textured to extend chewing time. One a day for an adult dog, per the feeding guidance. Buy the size band for your dog's weight and take it away if they try to swallow it whole. Count the calories against their daily food — a daily dental chew is a daily snack, and that adds up quietly over a year.
Drawbacks
- A daily chew adds daily calories that need accounting for
- Gulpers get no benefit and take a real choking risk
