Overview
Barkbox's Bright Durable Dental Chew Sticks come in an 8 ounce bag of 15 chews, built for small breeds and marketed toward tough chewers. Instead of the usual chicken or beef flavoring, the ingredient list centers on peppermint, parsley, turmeric, and thyme.
At $17.99 for 15 chews, the per-treat price sits above some larger multipacks, which fits with the durability-focused, smaller-batch positioning of this line.
With 134 reviews and a 4.7 star rating, the feedback so far is strongly positive, though the sample size is smaller than more established dental chew lines, so it is still building a longer track record.

Performance notes
The turmeric, parsley, and herbal blend here is a flavor and ingredient choice rather than a medical claim, and the stick's marketed durability is meant to hold up better against dogs that chew aggressively compared to softer dental sticks.
What buyers say
A 4.7 average across 134 reviews is a strong early signal, but the smaller sample size means it is less battle-tested than higher-volume dental chews in this category.
Is this chew more durable than a standard dental stick?
It is marketed as a durable option for tough chewers, so it is designed to hold up longer under aggressive chewing than a typical soft dental stick, though how long any chew lasts depends on your individual dog.
Will my dog like the herbal flavor?
Since this uses peppermint, parsley, turmeric, and thyme instead of a meat flavor, acceptance can vary more by dog than with chicken or beef flavored chews.
What breed size is this made for?
This listing is sized for small breeds. Look for a larger Barkbox dental chew option if your dog is medium or large.
