Y’all know we are all about some good tastin’ treats. Ya also know my Lady is a stickler ’bout our teeth. Not sure why she’s so obessed with em, but who’s gonna argue with good tastin’ dental treats? Not us! That’s for sure! The other day we gots a chance to try some of them Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews! Boy howdy! If’n ya ain’t tried em, ya don’t know what you’re missin’ out on! I liked em so good that I ended up in a fight with my big brother Ozzy! I finished mine and was over there tryin’ to steal his crumbs. Ya got to be brave to tackle that big ole boy! Anyway, I guess he wanted his crumbs cause he got me told right quick like. As a matter of fact, them Zuke’s Z-Bones are all our favorites now! Where have they been all this time is what I wanna know?!
As usual, I only know if I like em or not. So, I’m gonna round up my Lady to s’plain all the particulars and why she likes em for us.
Here’s what my Lady had to say ’bout the Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews:
Y’all should know by now I am all about keeping my dogs teeth clean. Just as in humans, keeping the teeth and gums healthy goes a long way towards keeping them healthy. While there are a few ways of brushing their teeth, my dogs favorite way are the dental chews. Dental chews are a great way to freshen their breath and promote healthy teeth and gums. However, when looking at dental chews I look for ones that digestible, healthy and of course they have to be made in the USA. First, let me tell you a bit about Zuke’s:
About Zuke’s
Located in Durango, Colorado, Zuke’s is a leader in the natural pet treat category. Named after founder Patrick Meiering’s beloved Labrador Retriever, Zuke’s has been powered by passionate pet lovers for 20 years. The Zuke’s team is driven by the joy that comes from exploring and adventuring with their dogs, and the pursuit of a healthier life that makes pets and people happier. Creating treats with only the finest natural ingredients and no harsh additives or preservatives has been a priority at Zuke’s since day one. All of Zuke’s products, with the exception of the new Genuine Jerky featuring 100% grass-fed beef from New Zealand, are made in the USA. The company’s unwavering commitment to product purity and quality helped Zuke’s become a successful, sustainable, and philanthropic business.
We had never tried the Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews, but I had heard a lot of good things about them. Of course I jumped at the chance for the pups to try them out! So what makes Zuke’s Z-Bones so special? Zuke’s Z-Bones are completely edible, grain-free dental chews that helps fight the dreaded doggie breath and clean teeth the natural way by using whole food fruits and vegetables. Upon reading about them, I was most impressed with the fact that they are highly digestable. This is because they are made of a pea and potato-based protein. They also contain ingredients such apples, carrots and cherries. Not only are they digestible, they are antioxidant rich! They also contain alfalfa, parsley, rosemary and fennel. All of these ingredients naturally freshen breath by supporting digestion. Of course, the chewing action and texture of the Zuke’s dental chews help polish the teeth and maintain healthy gums. What the Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews DO NOT CONTAIN are wheat gluten, cornstarch or synthetic chlorophyll!
Not only do Zuke’s Z-Bones clean their teeth and promote healthy gums, they are also fortified with vitamins and minerals and completely free of chemicals, color dyes, harsh additives, or preservatives. So, yep! Zuke’s definitely has my A-OK approval.
Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews come in three tasty flavors, which include: clean apple crisp, clean carrot crisp, and clean berry crisp.
They are available in 4 different sizes:
- Mini Z-Bones for dogs 10-25 lbs
- Regular Z-Bones for dogs 25-60 lbs
- Large Z-Bones for dogs 60-90 lbs
- Giant Z-Bones for dogs 90+ lbs.
We had a chance to try out all the flavors and all the sizes since our pack includes pups ranging in size from the tiny to giant.
Itty bitty Little Bit is only 7 lbs. But, she thoroughly enjoyed the Mini Z-bones size in the clean apple crips flavor.
Sallie and Miss Molly enjoyed the regular sized Z-Bones for weights of 25-60. Molly is borderline for the large size, so she actually shared in one of those also. They loved the regular size in the clean berry crisp flavor.
Maggie, Brandi and Seager enjoyed the large sized in the clean carrot flavor. To give you an idea on size – they are a German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd and a German Shepherd/Lab mix. The large size was an ample sized treat for them.
Finally, my big Ozzy, at 125+ lbs (you have to love the big goof ball) knew his name was on the giant Z-Bones! His Z-Bones were also in the clean carrot flavor and he could hardly wait until I snapped the pic!
All the pups absolutely love them! I think it is safe to say that the Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews are THE most favorite dental chew yet! Funny how all I have to do is mention it is dental chew time to make their ears perk up. They all immediately head to their beds to wait on them.

I really like that the Zuke’s come in so many different sizes, as well as flavors. There’s something for every size and type of dog. I’m pretty sure my Gavan would gobble them all up and they’d all be his favorite.
Your dogs really look like they enjoy the Zuke’s dog treats. They’re adorable too. 🙂
I love the action shots with the dogs. I think the flavors are unique and dog friendly. I’m glad the minis are good for tiny dogs. It’s hard being a Maltese in a Labrador world.
Definitely! Little Bit holds her own with the Mini’s and loves them!
I like the action shots with your dogs eating the treats. I’m glad to see the Zuke’s minis are good for tiny dogs. It is tough being a Maltese in a Labrador world.
I would love to have my pugs try these. I already feed them Wellness Grain Free food, so I love to get treats/products that follow in line with their regular food.
These look high quality. My dogs chew raw bones for their teeth.
After reading this review, I gotta get me some Zukes for my pups. I love that they are grain free. And, since I don’t brush their teeth, they really do need a quality dental chew. Thanks
I only discovered Zuke’s about a year ago. With five dogs and three cats, we really go through food, treats, andother pet related items. I’m very impressed with the products – they only contain healthy ingredients and are made in the US.
I spend a lot on these items. I need one that is re sibley prized.
I like that these are dye free and don’t have additives in them. It makes me feel good to know these are safe to give my dogs.
I like that these are all natural ingredients and made in the USA!! I look for that when buying products for my little doggies.
These look awesome! I love that they offer them in so many sizes so you can get the one that is perfect for your dog. I also love that they help freshen breath. My pup’s breath isn’t bad, but I know many dogs have that problem especially as they get older.
I am very careful what treats I give my dog and I really like that these are grain free.
i am sure my dog J.R. would love these, he likes everything
My dog Ranger loves his treat. I think he’d like the carrot crisp best.
The bones look appetizing haha
I think my pets would love these! Anything that is natural and good for them is great.
my dogs would love them and the blog on u tube for the gifts
Max loves carrots so I’m sure he would be thrilled with that flavor.
I love the variety of sizes, most dental bones are two sizes fit all. The flavors sound totally awesome too! Still appealing to the pup but not strong meat flavors that don’t exactly smell good on puppies breath. I bet these ones smell awesome!
WOW! Thanks so very much for the Fantastic Review on Zuke’s Z-Bones Grain Free Dental Chews for Dogs #Review #petpalooza! These bones sound absolutely wonderful for our 4 legged fur babies! I know that my little girls love carrots and apples! I’m always afraid to try different types of fruit or veggies with them because I don’t know if they can have them or not! ALL your dogs seemed to be quite content and happy with their Zuke’s Z-Bones! I would love to get some small ones for my babies, however, I can’t afford at the moment to purchase any! Zuke’s sounds like a wonderful company which really cares about our pets! I love that they donate to the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund! Our Siberian Husky, Keisha, died from cancer 🙁 I love this fact about this company!

My dog loves Z-Bones!!

we love zukes!!
They look awesome!
Seeing mini’s makes me happy for my little dog, Leia!
These sound great. I worry that my dog’s teeth will have problems if I’m not proactive with their care. These sound like a perfect solution. I love that they come in multiple flavors.
our sammy jam would love these.thanks.
I will definitely be buyers these for my German Shepherd Diesel I have been trying to find a healthy dental chew!

We love that they donate to the animal cancer fund.
These dental chews look great! I’m sure my dogs would love them..they could use a little dental assistance since they don’t put up very well with me trying to brush their teeth.
I really enjoyed your review, and seeing your fur-babies. I haven’t tried Zuke’s yet, but I plan on it. I’m sure my 3 dogs will love all the flavors. My mom’s dog is grain-intolerant so I’ll have to pick up a bag for Daisy Duke also.
I like that they come in so many different flavors and sizes. I have had no luck finding a bone that she enjoys and doesn’t eat in five minutes.
No plastic! Yay! How long do they last/how hard are they?
If you choose the correct size for the dog, they last maybe 5 minutes. They are not so hard they sit and chew and chew and chew. They are made to clean the teeth and freshen breath. They do last longer than other dental chews I have tried, but are still a crunchy chew.
Z Bones sounds like a great product for dogs. I really like they help with their dental health. Thanks!
My daughter’s dog would love these! I love that the Z-bones come in different sizes.
I like that these are natural. So many times you find a bunch of other things in treats.
Oh I see the Mini Bones I think my dogs would like them much better and would actually eat them and chew on them good for their teeth.
I like that Zukes are made in the USA from USA sourced ingredients. I trust their treats and my dogs love them. I have not found a treat that my dogs do not like.
Great review! I really like that these are fortified with vitamins and minerals. I hope my puppy gets to try them soon.
I like the realistic shape. Look easy to hand over to the dog. Appreciate Natural made in the USA (Colorado)
I like that it cleans their teeth and promote healthy gums.
I like that they sell them individually so your pets can try the flavors first. I think my dogs would most enjoy the carrot flavored.
I want to try these for my dogs teeth, I think they’ll like the carrot flavor.
We love Zuke’s for training. I would love to try the dental z-bones!
I believe these to be great quality products for the pup’s teeth. I recommend them.
These sound amazing. My poor dog even with a tooth brush carrot sticks and a good diet he has stinky breath You love them dearly but you really want them to have healthy teeth and gums too and know what they are consuming are good for them too
these sound amazing. Luckily my dog likes carrots as well lol
my girls love the little Zukes and the treats. some of the bars are too hard for my little girls. i wish they had not sold out though. my independent pet store stopped selling them when they changed. however, i find them at other stores.
