We know why you’re here (besides finding the best dental treats for dogs): because you have a dog in your life. And that pup is pretty much family.
If you’re anything like us, there’s nothing more the two of you enjoy than quality time and cuddles. But things are getting awkward at home. You’re avoiding getting too close, and boy does your dog notice it. Sadly your dog’s bad breath is putting a damper on those canine kisses.
So what do you do?
We’ve got the perfect solution. And it’s simple enough for even the busiest of dog moms and dads. Dental treats, like our real meat Dental Jerky and Turkey Dental Sticks.
Dental treats for dogs are a fun way to help rid your dog of that smelly breath. So go ahead and get those canine smooches in. Dental treats have got your dog’s back. And well…their breath, too.
Does My Dog’s Dental Health Even Matter?
Yes! Like humans, dogs are susceptible to periodontal disease. Not having good oral hygiene can lead to oral health issues. Gum disease can wreak havoc on your dog’s overall health that goes beyond bad breath and yellow teeth. As it progresses, gum disease can cause bleeding gums, loose teeth, lumps, sensitivity, painful gums, bone decay and more.
So how do you keep all that from happening? Well, there’s not really any great substitutes for professional cleaning and at-home brushing. But is there something you can do in between visits? Are there ways you can supplement oral care and aid in fresher breath, all in the convenience of your home? You bet.
How Dental Treats Work
If you’re a long time dog parent, you’re no stranger to bad breath. Luckily, there’s a simple solution you can add to your dog’s daily routine to help with fresher breath. Dental treats help promote active chewing. Dogs that chew regularly tend to have less plaque build-up and usually a healthier mouth.
The Benefits:
- Instantly fresher breath. Whether you give your dog a treat first thing in the morning or right before a stroll in the park, you’ll immediately smell the reward.
- Dental treats require active chewing. This act of chewing can help scrape away tartar and smooth the teeth. Chewing also releases antibacterial saliva which is known to promote a healthier mouth.
- It’s possibly the easiest way to take care of your dogs oral health! Fresher breath for dogs is now as simple as tossing them a tasty dental treat.
Not All Dental Treats Are The Same
You may be excited about finding a way to freshen your dog’s smelly bad breath. So excited you’ve got a dozen different treats in your online shopping cart already. But before you end up with one box too many on your doorstep, know that not all dental treats and chews are the same.
Some Dental Chews Do More Harm Than Good
Some dental chews are made with ingredients that can be hard to digest, like rawhide. Many others include ingredients that are questionable at best. Not ours! (Be sure to check out our delicious Chicken Dental Sticks among others.)
Then there’s those chews with the hard surfaces. Those can lead to chipped or broken teeth, which is slightly counterproductive.
The best dental chews for dogs are those that are:
- Flexible and chewy, never hard
- Easy to digest
- Made with healthy ingredients
That’s exactly how our dental chews are made here at Blue Ridge Naturals. Our dental treats may very well be the perfect addition to your dog’s diet. They’re filled with wholesome whole ingredients from nature; ingredients that blend together beautifully for a delicious, delectable chew. Talk about pulling a double duty.
