My cat loves Minties way more than I expected. The loud crunch makes it sound like he’s eating chips. Breath improvement is steady but not dramatic. I pair them with Nature’s Domain dry and soft Pure Cravings pouches. He gets one Minties treat a day, and the bag lasts around two weeks. If you’re wondering how many pieces are in a 2.5oz bag, mine had around 30. Not cheap, but if they keep teeth in better shape, I’m fine with it. Plus, he acts like I’m giving him gold nuggets.
I have one cat who loves Minties and one who treats them like alien objects. The one who likes them crunches them thoroughly, which is good because she tends to swallow treats whole. Her breath improved slightly, especially after her Nutra Nuggets meals. The bag is small, so for two cats, it lasts maybe a week and a half. I don’t overuse them since they’re more for dental support than snacking. But for a daily routine, they’re an easy win if your cat doesn’t mind the mint scent.
We introduced Minties dental treats as part of a dental-care plan after the vet recommended more chewing. My cat typically refuses harder textures, but she accepted these faster than expected. Breath improvement is mild but noticeable, especially around her Pure Cravings meals. The bag count is small, so I only give one piece every other day. That actually stretches a 2.5oz bag to almost a month. She doesn’t mind the mintiness at all. For cats that hate toothbrushes, these are a lifesaver or at least a finger-saver.
Minties cat treats were a total surprise hit here. My cat chomped on them like he’d been waiting his whole life for something crunchy. Breath definitely fresher, especially compared to when he’s eating tuna-heavy foods. I mix them in with his Kirkland Signature meals as a little after-dinner ritual. The bag disappears quickly if you give two pieces a day, so I stick to one. The mint scent is light enough that it doesn’t chase him away. If you’re unsure, buy a small bag first and test.
I bought Minties dental treats because brushing my cat’s teeth is basically a WWE match. He actually likes these and chews them happily. His breath improved a little, but what I really noticed is less tartar on his lower teeth. I pair them with Nutra Nuggets dry food since that already gives him some crunch. The 2.5oz bag has maybe 30 pieces, so one bag lasts two weeks. For a treat that does more than just taste good, these are a pretty solid option.
My senior cat needed something gentle but still crunchy enough to help her teeth, and Minties worked well. She eats mostly soft food now Pure Cravings chicken is her favorite so her breath can get rough. These treats helped tone that down without upsetting her stomach. I break them in half to make chewing easier, so the bag ends up lasting longer than expected. She seems to enjoy the texture, and I like that it helps her dental health a bit. Definitely worth keeping in the rotation.
I had a similar experience with the chewing part being the biggest win. My cat usually inhales treats without thinking, but with Minties she actually slows down and crunches properly. I give one after her Pure Cravings meals, and it’s become part of her routine now she literally waits by the cabinet. Breath improvement isn’t huge, but it’s definitely less noticeable than before. The 2.5oz bag lasts me about two weeks sticking to one a day.
The mint smell worried me at first too, but surprisingly both of my cats accepted it pretty quickly. One of them is super picky with anything “different,” but he ended up loving the crunch. I’ve noticed the biggest benefit is that they actually chew instead of swallowing like they do with softer treats. I rotate between Nutra Nuggets meals and wet food, so having something crunchy like this helps balance things out. Bag size is small though with two cats, it disappears fast.
Minties have been a nice addition to our nightly routine. My cat eats mostly Nature’s Domain and some wet toppers, so I wanted something specifically for dental support. She wasn’t sure about the smell at first, but once she tried one, she started expecting it every evening. I’ve noticed her breath is a bit fresher in the mornings, which is a big plus. I stick to one treat per day so the bag lasts around three weeks. Not a miracle product, but definitely helpful.
I like seeing others mention portion control because that’s what made the biggest difference for me. At first I gave two per day and the bag was gone in no time, but switching to one after dinner made it last much longer. My senior cat prefers softer food like Pure Cravings, but she still manages to chew these without trouble. I sometimes break them in half just to make it easier. Breath isn’t perfect, but it’s noticeably better than before, and she clearly enjoys the crunch.
