C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews
These premium beefhide chews combine a rough, abrasive texture for mechanical scraping with an exclusive Dual-Enzyme System that activates upon contact with saliva to target hidden bacteria and eliminate bad breath at the source.
C.E.T. HEXtra Premium Oral Hygiene Chews
Engineered for advanced dental defense, these abrasive beefhide chews are infused with Chlorhexidine, a potent veterinary antiseptic that continuously releases during chewing to block bacterial growth and halt tartar accumulation.
Real Owner Experiences
Sarah Jenkins “My 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Max, developed a noticeable layer of yellow tartar along his back molars, and his breath was becoming unbearable. Our vet recommended the large size C.E.T. Enzymatic Chews, and the results after three weeks have been phenomenal. Not only does he spend a solid ten minutes happily gnawing on a single chew, but the abrasive texture has visibly scraped away the surface buildup, and his breath is completely neutralized. It is a huge relief finding a dental treat that actually delivers on its clinical promises without upsetting his sensitive stomach.”
Michael Alvarez “After my toy poodle, Bella, had a professional dental cleaning, I wanted to find a serious preventative care product to maintain her pearly whites, so I picked up the Extra Small C.E.T. HEXtra Chews. Because toy breeds are so prone to rapid plaque buildup, the infused Chlorhexidine in these treats has been a total game-changer. I give her one every evening, and during her six-month checkup last week, the veterinarian explicitly noted how remarkably clean her gumline looked with virtually zero new tartar formation. She loves the flavor, and I love that the antiseptic formula actively protects her teeth long after she finishes chewing.”
Amanda Ross “We have been using the Medium C.E.T. Enzymatic Chews for our rescue dog, Luna, for over a year now as part of her daily routine. She used to back away whenever I brought out a toothbrush, so switching to these basted beefhide treats completely eliminated our daily grooming struggle. They are tough enough to provide an excellent mechanical scrape against her teeth as she works through them, which has kept her gums looking healthy and pink. It is easily the most effective, stress-free investment I have made for her long-term health.”
C.E.T. FAQ
What is the difference between standard C.E.T. Enzymatic Chews and the HEXtra Premium line?
While both lines are made from premium beefhide and use a natural abrasive texture to mechanically scrape away buildup, they feature entirely different active ingredients. The classic Enzymatic Chews utilize an exclusive Dual-Enzyme System that activates upon contact with saliva to neutralize plaque-causing bacteria. In contrast, the HEXtra Premium Chews are infused with Chlorhexidine Gluconate, a powerful clinical antiseptic that bonds to your dog’s teeth and gums for sustained, long-lasting antimicrobial defense.
Are these dental chews safe for a puppy that is currently teething?
Yes, C.E.T. dental chews are safe for teething puppies, provided they have already transitioned to eating solid kibble completely, easily, and safely. However, it is highly recommended to strictly supervise your puppy while they are working on a chew to prevent them from gulping down large, unchewed pieces.
What country are these dental chews manufactured in and where do the hides come from?
The raw hides used to make C.E.T. Enzymatic and HEXtra dental chews are sourced exclusively from North American cattle. The final manufacturing, basting, and treatment processing are completed at Virbac’s dedicated facilities in Mexico before being distributed out of their primary corporate hubs in the United States and Canada.
Can I give these chews to my cat or are they strictly for dogs?
The current C.E.T. Enzymatic and HEXtra lines are formulated and sized exclusively for dogs. While Virbac previously manufactured a feline-specific version of their dental treats, the cat-specific chews have been discontinued, and dog chews should not be given to cats due to differences in sizing, texture hardness, and caloric density.
How many calories are in each chew and will it interfere with my dog’s low-fat diet?
The caloric content varies directly depending on the size of the chew you purchase. Extra-Small chews contain roughly 24 to 30 kcal, Small chews have 32 to 48 kcal, Medium chews range from 54 to 75 kcal, and Large chews run between 88 to 105 kcal. They are generally considered safe for dogs on low-fat diets, but you should always calculate these totals into your dog’s daily caloric allotment and consult your vet if your pet is prone to medical conditions like pancreatitis.
