Pedigree DentaStix 112 Sticks Functional Snacks, Daily Dental Chews for Small Dogs (5 -10 kg), Megapack

Product Information

Dentastix claim their unique shape helps keep teeth clean but depending on the dog, the soft chew doesn't do much to naturally rub away at plaque.

With this blanket term, it is impossible to know what type of grains are in Dentastix or the quality of the grains. This video from Greenies has some stats that show us why it’s important to give our dogs dental chews and keep their teeth clean.

We like the Fresh ones instead of the Original or Beef Flavor ones because we find the mint smell more pleasing than the others. While dental chews can help to keep plaque at bay, they’re no substitute for brushing your dog’s teeth to prevent infections and gum disease.

In the UK, pet food and treat companies aren’t legally obliged to list individual ingredients in their product. Even better, the toothpaste requires no brushing; you simply squeeze it into a groove on each chew, and your pup’s chewing will do the job for you.Some veterinarians say it’s not true that dogs’ mouths are cleaner, but most of the bacteria found in a dog’s mouth won’t harm humans. With the help of vets and nutritionists at The Waltham Centre, Pedigree has developed a range of tasty dental chew sticks for dogs that reduce plaque and tartar build-up, helping to reduce the risk of gum disease. Getting a hyper, excited dog to sit still for a few minutes every day for a tooth clean can be difficult – we get it, we’ve been through it with Smudge! One batch could be different to another depending on the vegetable products that are most cost-effective at the time. The main Dentastix ingredient that cleans your dog’s teeth is Sodium Tripolyphosphate, a chemical which can break down plaque and tartar.
