Dog Dental Treats

Dog Dental Treats

We all love our dogs, but sometimes their breath can be so bad that giving them attention and playing with them isn’t as enjoyable as it normally is. You don’t want to hurt their feelings and ignore them, but you also don’t want to be smelling their breath while you’re lounging on the couch binging your favorite show, so what do you do? Although it is recommended to brush your dog’s teeth a few times every week, it may be a hassle to wrangle your pup, get them to stay still, and open their mouths long enough for you to safely get a toothbrush in there and brush. And sometimes, brushing alone doesn’t get rid of the smell entirely. Dog dental treats are the perfect solution to this problem. They not only freshen your pet’s breath but provide oral care as well, ensuring their teeth remain healthy. Some dental treats are also designed to last a while, giving your dog something to chew on to keep them busy and satisfy their natural urges to chew.

With our selection, we guarantee you’ll be able to find dental treats that your pup will love! Not only do we have a wide variety of brands, but we also have dental treats that are corn-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, grain-free, and free of corn, wheat, and soy for doggies on special diets. We even have dental treats made specifically for puppies and senior dogs and some that help with other health problems too!

Why taking care of your dog’s teeth is important

Your dog uses their mouth for more than just chewing food. They use it to pick up the ball when playing fetch at the dog park, when ripping up their favorite toys, when exploring new sights and smells, and when roughhousing with their fellow canine kind. Dogs use their mouths much more than us humans do, and because their mouths come in contact with so much stuff, it’s important to take proper care of their teeth and overall oral health.

We all want to keep our dogs healthy and in great shape, but all too often, pet owners will overlook the importance of oral hygiene. In fact, most dogs show symptoms of canine periodontal disease at the age of three. Periodontal disease is an infection associated with the inflammation of the periodontium – the layer of tissue surrounding the tooth. If untreated, the tooth can become loose and fall out over time. Canine periodontal disease also causes chronic pain that can make eating difficult, leading to more health problems. No one wants to see their pup in pain, and dental treats play a role in helping prevent oral issues from developing.

How often should I give my dog a dental treat?

Most dogs can be given dental treats every day or after every meal, depending on what the product’s packaging recommends. While dog dental treats are beneficial to your dog’s oral health, it’s important not to give them too many. Dental treats are still treats, and they contain extra calories that can result in an unbalanced diet and weight gain. If you’re worried about these extra calories, consider dental chews. Dental chews are made of soft rubber that your furry friend will love gnawing on, and they have many of the same benefits as dental treats, just without the calories.
