Review: Bamboo’s DogToids Breath Mints
The Good: They are designed to to clean and freshen dog breath–while some dog owners relish the naturally potent pooch-stink, the idea of a product that can at least temporarily get rid of that freshly licked poop scent is a great thing indeed. Oh, and dogs seem to really like the taste (of the DogToids…and apparently of poop as well).
The Not-So-Good: I’m not quite sure how well they work. I just fed one to my dog Casper, then I got down and smelled his breath…it smells like dog treats.
One of the ingredients is “desiccated liver.” Thanks to a quick visit to dictionary.com, I now know desiccated just means dehydrated–not necessarily a bad thing after all…the word “desiccated” just sounded really scary.
The Verdict: The jury is still out on whether this is more novelty than it is effective, but I’ll take the placebo effect over poop breath any day of the week.

Interesting concept – but I’m not sure I see how they differ from regular dog treats? The packaging is cute and all, but it does seem more of a novelty item as you say.

Totally right about that Brent. I notice most pet stores have these for sale right next to the checkout stand. Novelty item with clever name + impulse buy that occurs while waiting in line at the checkout stand= brilliant.
