Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats Product Review

I've always given my cats treats from time to time. They love to nibble on them, and the crunchy nuggets help remove harmful tartar from their teeth. I buy different brands of cat treats for a couple reasons. One, this allows me to buy what's on sale. And two, buying different brands gives my cats a wider variety of flavors. My felines get bored eating the same flavor. Recently I spotted a new cat treat on the store shelf. Since it's made by "Hartz", a recognized leader in pet products, I decided to check it out. Read this informative product review and find out about Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats. They can improve your cat's oral health and save you vet bills!

Product Description
Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats comes in 3 different flavors- salmon, beef and chicken. I chose the salmon flavor for my felines. When I opened the bag, my cat Jasmine immediately climbed up on my lap and tried to stick her nose in it. So, they must smell pretty tasty to her. The Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats smell like cereal to me. Not bad, just like cereal.

Taste Test and Conclusion
As I said, my cat Jasmine went nuts over the smell and flavor of Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats. She eats most anything, so that wasn't a real test. When finicky Holly climbed up to see what I had, and ate some Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats, that's when I decided they must taste good.

According to the company, just 5 Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats fed to your cat twice a day will "block 3 times as much tartar formation as regular crunchy treats." These treats claim to be different than other cat treats because of a "patented ingredient DentaShield®." DentaShield works like fluoride in that it coats your cat's teeth to help protect them from tartar build up.

Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats is recommended to be used in conjunction with regular tooth brushings, and professional cleanings by your vet.

There's really no way I'll know if Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats is better for my feline's teeth than the competitors. Once they get tired of the salmon, beef and chicken flavors, I'll have to switch to another brand. The DentaShield advantage sounds good. According to the Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats package, this product "...is clinically proven to reduce tartar by 75%." That sounds very good. If, by some odd chance my cats continue to eat Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Cat Treats without tiring of the flavors, I'll be able to tell if it's a better product than its competitors.
