Get Naked Skin & Coat Dental Sticks review

intro

I first noticed the Get Naked Grain Free Skin & Coat Dental Chew Sticks while cataloging dental chews for small dogs. The listing makes several clear promises: these are grain-free stick treats designed for adult, small-breed dogs, fortified with omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids from fish oil and algae, and intended to promote skin and coat health while helping reduce plaque and tartar during chewing. In my research notes I also collected owner feedback that touches on taste, texture, digestibility, and pack sizing — all of which I’ll walk through so you can decide if these fit your dog.

What it is / first look

On paper this product is straightforward. The Get Naked Skin & Coat Dental Sticks come in a bag listed at 6.2 ounces (176 grams) and are sold as stick-form dental treats for adult dogs. The brand and manufacturer are clear: Get Naked, made by NPIC—The Makers of N-Bone (Natural Polymer International Corporation). The model number shown on the listing is 700453 and the product has been available since August 3, 2016.

The marketing copy highlights three primary functions: promote skin and coat health with a blend of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (explicitly called out as coming from fish oil and algae), provide grain-free nutrition, and offer dental benefits by helping reduce plaque and tartar during chewing. The listing also states these chews are fully digestible, crafted without rawhide or artificial additives, and are made in the USA.

Package and labeling details that matter: the listing identifies the flavor as Chicken, the age range as Adult, and the breed recommendation as Small Breeds. It also includes allergen information (Codfish). The listing asserts the chews are low calorie and calls the product a special diet.

Visually, the packaging photos suggest colorful retail bags; my research notes and the image files imply you may encounter pink and purple packaging variants. Because the listing emphasizes small and large sizes exist across the dental-stick line, it’s worth double-checking the size you’re ordering if you have a tiny toy-breed or a medium dog.

In daily use

How these chews perform day-to-day depends a lot on your dog’s chewing strength, stomach sensitivity, and food allergies. Below I summarize the real-world themes I compiled and explain how they translate to daily routines.

Small-breed adults

If you own a small-breed adult dog, this product is squarely targeted at you: the listing specifically recommends small breeds and marks the age range as adult. In my research notes many small dogs (Shih Tzu, Havanese, toy mixes) showed enthusiasm for the sticks, with owners reporting their dogs consistently liked the flavor and would accept them as a treat or reward. The package size (6.2 oz / 176 g) makes it easy to toss one in a training pouch or use as a daily dental reward.

That said, the sticks are described as firm and sometimes hard to break. Some owners report the chews are the perfect size and texture for their small dogs, while others say they are tough enough that scissors struggle to cut them. If you give daily portions to a tiny dog, plan to break a stick into smaller pieces — and use a sturdy cutter (some report pruning shears do the job).

Senior dogs

The listing identifies the intended age as adult; it does not claim special formulation for seniors. Still, in my notes there are senior dogs doing well on these sticks: a 12-year-old had -noted good teeth while regularly getting them, and another senior was able to eat them easily. If your senior has strong chewing ability and no destructive dental disease, you may find these a reasonable oral-care treat. If your senior has brittle teeth or chewing pain, the firmness flagged in my notes suggests caution.

Dogs with skin/coating needs

These chews are explicitly marketed to support skin and coat health. The listing states they're fortified with omega 3 and 6 fatty acids from fish oil and algae, and that the formulation promotes skin & coat health. In my research notes several owners reported the coat looked silkier or that skin issues seemed improved while using the product. Those are owner observations; the listing also stresses the chews are grain-free and low calorie, both potentially relevant if you’re managing diet-sensitive skin concerns.

Dogs with sensitive stomachs or allergies

Two safety points stand out. First, the listing includes Allergen Information: Codfish. If your dog has a fish allergy — including codfish — this product is not suitable. Second, some dogs in my notes experienced digestive upset (notably gas) after eating these chews. The listing itself claims the chews are fully digestible and made without artificial additives, yet individual tolerance varies. If your dog has a known sensitive stomach or prior treat-related reactions, I recommend trialing a single chew and monitoring tolerance.

Materials & build quality

With edible products, "build quality" maps to formulation, texture, and manufacturing transparency. The listing describes the sticks as grain-free and made from quality wholesome natural ingredients. Key explicit formulation points from the listing:

• Flavor: Chicken
• Special Ingredients: Grain-free
• Additional Features: Fortified with Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids from Fish Oil and Algae
• Item Form: Stick
• Product Benefits listed: Promotes skin & coat health, supports dental care, balanced nutrition
• Claims: Fully digestible; crafted without rawhide or artificial additives

Texture and durability in use: the listing promises dental action by reducing plaque and tartar during chewing, which implies a firm texture designed to abrade soft deposits on the tooth surface. My notes reflect that the sticks are noticeably firm — some dogs chew them down over several minutes, others take them as longer-lasting chews. A few accounts call them "very hard" and warn these could be too much for dogs with weak teeth.

Sourcing and manufacturing: the listing states the product is Proudly Made in the USA and lists the manufacturer as NPIC-The Makers of N-Bone. That’s helpful if you prefer domestically produced pet products.

Safety considerations

Pet safety has to be the first filter. Here are the safety facts and real-world signals I compiled.

Allergy & ingredient flags

The listing provides an Allergen Information field: Codfish. If your dog has a fish allergy — or specific sensitivity to cod — avoid this product. The listing also states the chews are grain-free and are fortified with fatty acids from fish oil and algae; if you’re managing fish or seafood allergies, that fat source matters.

Choking / dental risk

The sticks are a firm dental chew. In my notes a few owners explicitly warn they are "very hard" and advise that only dogs with strong teeth should have them. Conversely, other owners point out the sticks are perfect for small dogs and do not smell bad. Because the chew is stick-shaped and firm, supervise first-time feedings to confirm your dog chews safely and doesn’t try to swallow large pieces whole. If your dog is an aggressive chewer who fractures examples of harder chews, consult a qualified professional before use — the listing doesn’t claim fracture-proof or teeth-safe for all dogs.

Digestibility & tummy issues

The listing claims the chews are fully digestible and crafted without rawhide or artificial additives. Still, my notes include reports of digestive upset (gas) in some dogs. That tells me that while the formulation is intended to be gentle, individual sensitivity exists. Start with one chew and observe. If your dog has a history of treat-triggered GI reactions, the listing’s “fully digestible” claim does not guarantee tolerance.

Age & size fit

The manufacturer marks these as for Adult dogs and recommends Small Breeds. If you’re considering these for a puppy, the listing’s Age Range Description is Adult, so the product isn’t targeted to puppies. For large-breed dogs, the listing does not recommend them — the Get Naked dental-stick line does sell both large and small sizes overall, but this specific Skin & Coat variant is geared to small breeds per the listing.

Other safety notes to remember

• Because treats can be a choking hazard if swallowed whole, always supervise new chews until you understand how your dog handles them.
• If your dog is allergic to fish or cod specifically, do not use — the listing’s allergen field names codfish explicitly.
• The listing states the chews contain no rawhide — that removes one common rawhide-specific risk, but it is not a guarantee against other chew-related problems.

Who this is for / who should skip

Being precise about fit helps avoid frustrations and safety issues. Use the listing facts and my notes to match this product to common owner profiles.

Good fit

• Owners of adult, small-breed dogs: The listing explicitly recommends small breeds and an adult age range. Many small dogs in my notes accepted and enjoyed the chews.
• Dog parents wanting grain-free treats: The product is marketed as grain-free and would suit dogs on grain-free treat rotations.
• People looking for a dental-support snack that also targets skin & coat: The sticks are fortified with omega 3 and 6 (from fish oil and algae) and the listing cites both dental and skin/coat benefits.
• Owners who prefer rawhide-free chews: The listing clearly states these are crafted without rawhide.

Who should skip or use caution

• Dogs with fish/cod allergies: The listing lists Codfish as an allergen.
• Dogs with sensitive stomachs: Some notes report gas or upset after eating these sticks despite the listing’s digestibility claim.
• Dogs with fragile or compromised teeth: The sticks can be quite firm; several notes warn they are "very hard" and can be tough on weaker teeth.
• Puppies: The listing’s age range is Adult, so these aren’t positioned for puppies.

Verdict

Get Naked Skin & Coat Dental Chew Sticks are a focused small-breed, adult dog treat: grain-free, rawhide-free, and fortified with omega 3 and 6 fatty acids from fish oil and algae to support skin and coat health, while also offering dental action to help reduce plaque and tartar. The product is sold in a 6.2 ounce (176 gram) bag and packaged in stick form. The manufacturer and brand are NPIC / Get Naked, and the listing states the chews are made in the USA.

Strengths I saw in the listing and my notes:

• Clear multi-purpose positioning: skin & coat support plus dental care.
• Grain-free and free of rawhide and artificial additives according to the listing.
• Most small-breed dogs in my notes eagerly accept them and find them tasty.
• Fortified with omegas from both fish oil and algae — useful for owners prioritizing fatty-acid support.

Real-world cautions:

• Codfish allergen is explicitly listed — not suitable for fish-allergic dogs.
• Some dogs experienced gas or digestive upset despite the listing’s fully digestible claim.
• The firm texture is a mixed blessing: good for dental abrasion but potentially risky for dogs with weak teeth or aggressive power chewers.
• The listing does not specify the exact treat count per bag on the product page I reviewed; some owners indicate there may be only six chews per pack.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Confirm your dog is an adult and a small breed — the listing targets Small Breeds and Age Range: Adult.
• Check for fish allergy: the listing lists Codfish in the Allergen Information.
• Decide if you want a firm chew — these sticks are meant to help reduce plaque and tartar during chewing and are described as firm; supervise first use.
• Be ready to break a stick into smaller pieces if you use it for training rewards — some owners report the pieces can be hard to divide without sturdy cutters.
• Expect a bag size of 6.2 oz (176 g) — the listing lists this explicitly, but exact treat counts may vary and the listing itself doesn’t spell out piece count.

Packaging colors

Image files and my research notes suggest the retail bags appear in colorful batches. Available colors may include the following packaging variations:

• pink
• purple

FAQ

1. Q: Are these treats safe for puppies?

   A: The listing lists Age Range Description as Adult, so these chews are targeted to adult dogs. The listing does not position them for puppies.

2. Q: Do these chews contain grain?

   A: The product is labeled grain-free in the listing.

3. Q: Are they rawhide?

   A: The listing explicitly states the chews are crafted without rawhide.

4. Q: My dog has a fish allergy — is this safe?

   A: The listing includes Allergen Information: Codfish. If your dog is allergic to fish, including cod, this product is not suitable.

5. Q: How hard are these chews? Could they break my dog’s teeth?

   A: The listing describes them as dental sticks that help reduce plaque and tartar during chewing, which implies a firm texture. In my research notes some people called them "very hard" and suggested only dogs with strong teeth use them; others used pruning shears to cut them into smaller pieces. Supervise initial feedings and avoid if your dog has brittle teeth.

6. Q: How many chews are in a bag?

   A: The listing specifies a bag weight of 6.2 ounces (176 grams) but does not list the exact number of individual sticks on the product page details I reviewed. My notes include reports that some packs contained six chews, but the listing itself does not state a piece count.

7. Q: Will these improve my dog’s skin and coat?

   A: The listing says the chews are fortified with Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids from fish oil and algae and are formulated to promote skin and coat health. In my notes multiple owners observed coat improvements while using the chews, though individual results will vary.

8. Q: Do they cause stomach upset?

   A: The listing claims the chews are fully digestible and without artificial additives, but my notes include some reports of gas and stomach upset in dogs with sensitive digestion. Start with one chew and monitor for tolerance.

Overall, Get Naked Skin & Coat Dental Sticks are a well-positioned option if you want a grain-free, rawhide-free dental chew that also supplies omega fatty acids to support coat condition — especially for adult, small-breed dogs. They’re not risk-free: codfish allergen labeling, reported digestive sensitivity in some dogs, and the firm texture that can be tough on weak teeth are real considerations. If your dog is a small-breed adult with a tolerant stomach and reasonably strong teeth, these are worth trying; just supervise the first few chews and break them into training-sized pieces if needed.

That’s the practical take from my notes and the listing. If you want me to compare these directly against another grain-free dental chew or the large-size Get Naked versions, I can pull the differences and show ingredient and texture contrasts next.
