My vet gives us a big bag full of it everytime we come in for free, so we have been using it at treats. I don't know if I would switch over to it full-time.... Justin and I are discussing it. My Aussie has gastrointestinal issues, so changing his dog food completely is a nightmare! But, if it saves a trip to the vet for a teeth cleaning, it might be with it. Hmmm.

Teeth cleaning isn't the main reason. It's more of a "keeping busy and chewing on something" kind of thing.
