Dental disease affects 80% of dogs over age 3. Regular dental chews are one of the easiest ways to support your dog's oral health between professional cleanings.
VOHC Certification
The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) certifies products that meet standards for reducing plaque or tartar. Look for the VOHC seal — it's the closest thing to a dental health guarantee.
Dental Chew Safety
Choose chews appropriate for your dog's size. Too-small chews pose choking hazards. Supervise chewing, especially with aggressive chewers. Replace chews when they become small enough to swallow.
