Dental Hygiene Chews for Dogs

I'm actually really impressed. Our Siberian Husky has had his teeth cleaned by the vet twice now, and both times recovery from anesthesia was awful, so we've been looking for a way to keep his teeth clean that he'll cooperate with. These actually work! His teeth are visibly cleaner after he chews one, and keeps his breath fresh. He's also got a really sensitive digestive tract, but he handles these without any issues. Poop is normal with the exception of a tinge of green and no odor the next day. I highly recommend giving these a try. (BTW, we only give about one a week because they are expensive, but it's doing the job of keeping plaque and tartar at bay. )

I have two vizslas — a wild puppy and a 7-year-old who’s sweet but has some seriously kickin’ breath. Before dropping $800 on a professional dental cleaning, my vet recommended trying these Oravet Dental Treats as a first step. So far, I’m impressed! My older dog actually loves the taste, which is saying a lot because he can be picky with treats. They’re firm enough to help with tartar buildup but not so hard that I worry about his teeth. I give him one daily, and we’re already noticing a mild improvement in breath — especially when paired with seaweed powder (algae-based) in his food. These aren’t a miracle fix, but they’re a solid and affordable part of a dental routine, especially if your dog isn’t quite ready for a full cleaning. Plus, no weird smell or mess like some other chews. If your dog’s breath is getting a little wild and you’re not quite ready for a big vet bill, these are definitely worth trying!

I try to keep a big treat jar full of these all the time, and make my "puppy" happy. Used to buy Greenies, which are also good, but my vet recommended these years ago and gave us some to try. My fourth Corgi since then and I am still using. They're a little pricey but a special treat and if good for tarter on teeth I am glad to keep them in the "special treat" jar - to hopefully not have teeth cleaning!

Great size for medium dogs, easy to chew without disappearing in two bites. Noticeable difference in breath and tartar buildup with regular use. Our lab treats these like a treat, not a chore, which makes sticking with a dental routine so much easier. A solid pick for keeping those teeth in check between vet visits.

It’s hard to rate these in terms of dental health since that’s such a long term thing, but my dog likes them and happily devours them. They do mess with her stomach a little and result in some interesting colors when she goes to the bathroom so I don’t give them every day-nothing major, just something to keep an eye out for.

Oravet. My veterinarian recommended this. I had been using other brands but with this my dog murphy hasn't had to have a teeth cleaning for several years. Murphy will definitely let me know if I've forgotten to give his daily treat. We are both very happy with this product.

I have one of those pickey Wheatens. She will eat them eventually and they work great for the hot breath. Pricey but because they work, worth the money. Will help avoid those expensive dental vet bills.

I purchased these for six-year-old Aussie doodle, and it has helped his breath immensely. I was concerned that it would cause an upset stomach but so far so good. I will purchase again.

My Lurcher didn’t take to these at all, too sticky and chewy for him. Only tried one and didn’t finish even that one. Waste of £72

I was sceptical about these but my girls teeth were getting quite bad. I bought them and could see a difference after the first bag. I bought a second bag and the plaque is 98% gone. It was such an improvement, I was thrilled with the results. She also really likes them. It makes her poop a bit green but no tummy upset at all. They are expensive but when you consider the cost of dental cleanings it is worth it. I supplement with Greenies but will alternate with these.

Excellent, fuzzy dog enjoys them.
