Dental Dog Treats

Dental dog treats are treats designed to support oral hygiene through chewing. Their texture and shape encourage dogs to chew, which can help mechanically reduce plaque build-up and support fresher breath as part of a regular dental care routine.

Dental treats can help reduce plaque through the natural chewing action. They are best used as a complement to regular dental care, such as tooth brushing and routine veterinary check-ups, rather than a replacement.

Dental treats and chews can help freshen breath by reducing plaque and food build-up through chewing. Crunchy treats and longer-lasting chews may both contribute to fresher breath as part of an overall dental care routine.

In addition to treats and chews, daily supplements containing ingredients such as seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) have been clinically studied and shown to help reduce plaque when given consistently as part of a dog’s diet. Combining appropriate treats, chews, and daily supplements can support better oral hygiene alongside regular brushing and veterinary care.

We recommend supervising your dog when they are enjoying chews or treats. While incidents with dog treats and chews are extremely rare, no treat or chew can be considered completely risk-free. Monitoring your dog helps you understand their chewing style and choose treats and chews that are appropriate for their size, age, and eating habits.

When choosing dental treats or chews, look for options that:

• Are appropriate for your dog’s size and chewing style
  
• Encourage chewing without being too hard
  
• Use simple, digestible ingredients
  
• Clearly disclose nutritional information and calories
  
• Fit within your dog’s overall diet and weight management plan
