Dog Dental Chews

January 27, 2025

Our oral hygiene is directly connected to our overall health and well-being. For humans, this means brushing and flossing regularly and going to the dentist when we need to. But for our pets, it's a bit trickier. Sure, you can brush your dog’s teeth with a dog toothpaste and brush, but not a lot of dogs enjoy that experience. One of the easiest ways to help keep your dog’s teeth and gums healthy is by giving them dental chews. What are dog dental chews, and how do they help? Let’s chat about it!

What are Dog Dental Chews?

Dog chews that help clean your dog’s teeth. They can also help massage gums. These can be bully sticks, yak chews, pizzles, or any other type of chew treat designed for your dog to chew.

What are the benefits?

Dental chews are a great choice when it comes to keeping your dog’s teeth and gums healthy. As your dog chews the treat, it helps scrape away plaque and buildup from its teeth. This helps prevent gum disease, which can lead to further illness in dogs.

Are dental chews edible?

Ours are, yes! All of our dog chews are 100% digestible for dogs.

What are they?

Just like dog treats, dental chews for dogs can be made from a wide variety of proteins. We offer pork, lamb, beef, and cheese as our main chew proteins.

Bully sticks, also known as beef pizzle, are made from dried and cured bull penis. Any dog chew with the term “pizzle” is a penis of that particular animal!

Our Himalayan Yak Snaks, also known as Yak Chews, are not made from meat, but cheese! Using a combination of yak milk, cow milk, lime, and salt, they are a traditional dog chew hailing from Nepal.

What Dog Chew is Best for My Dog?

That definitely depends!

What breed is your dog? What size is your dog? Do they have any dental issues already? Any allergies? Do they chew quickly? – These are all things to consider when choosing a dental chew for your dog.
