Virbac C.E.T.® VEGGIEDENT® FR3SH® Tartar Control Chews for Dogs with digestive health support, VOHC Approved, Medium 22-66lbs

Across the reviewers we read, Virbac C.E.T. VeggieDent FR3SH is the chew most consistently named by veterinarians in r/dogs threads, with one high-trust comment stating outright that "the VeggieDent chews by CET are the ones vets I've worked for have always recommended" and another r/germanshorthairs commenter reporting a visible improvement after switching from Greenies. A peer-reviewed entry on pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov describes the formulation as safe and fully soluble to digestive enzymes in vitro, which is unusual technical backing for a dental treat.

The consensus is not unanimous. A chewy.com reviewer reported the chew hardening to a near-rock state after a couple of weeks in storage, and an r/pitbulls thread notes that power chewers finish a piece in under five minutes, undermining the mechanical-cleaning premise. A separate high-trust r/dogs thread warns about Virbac's rawhide line being made in Mexico, which is a different SKU but worth flagging since shoppers conflate the brand.

Net-net, the VeggieDent FR3SH chews land at the top because the high-trust veterinary endorsement and published-paper backing outweigh the texture and longevity complaints. Buyers with strong chewers should plan to size up and treat these as a daily dental supplement, not a long-duration chew.
