Best Dental Sticks for Dogs

Chewing for success
Dentastix are a great choice for a dental chew. By feeding our large 6-year old 4 different dental chews per day, including one Dentastix, his mouth, teeth, and gums are so healthy he has never needed a dental cleaning. Our Vet is always impressed by the health of his mouth. He weighs about 130 lbs.

My doggies love their dentastix
They get so excited when it is time to have their dentastix. Their favorite flavor is mint I have noticed.
-
Excellent for teeth and gums
These treats work very well keeping large dogs' teeth and gums healthy and free of tarter. Been using them for many years and not one dental visit!!

Awesome Brushing Chews!
My Lacy loves them! I usually buy the mini as she is a miniature dachshund, but mistakenly ordered the small/medium. She doesn't have a problem with the bigger ones :)
-
No Fuss Brushing
For us, we found these dental chews better than the minty ones. They didn't seem to agree with our boy.
-
Brush them teefers!
Easy to give as treats. Dogs seem to like them. My Husky's breath is better & teeth seem to be cleaner!
Best Budget Dog Dental Chew

My dog loves them and they are good for her
When I had to put my dog on antibiotics I read where it could make her have loose stools or diarrhea so I read that prebiotics were important to keep her bowels healthy. I ordered these and to my surprise, she loves them! So now I feel good giving these to her for two reasons! Oh, and a 3rd reason is they are good for her teeth, so bonus!
-
My dog is real picky
My German Shepherd Akita mix is extremely picky with her food and dog dental bones. I was pleasantly surprised she actually begs for one after she eats her dinner. I used to give her Greenies until I found out they are toxic. So glad I decided to try Petlab Dental Chews. Her teeth are clean and her breath is fresh.
-
Hoping they work for my boy
Just started giving these dental chews to my lab so I haven’t noticed anything yet but hope they help with his breath and teeth. But he likes them and they do smell good
Best Dental Chew for Large Dogs

Great treat
Tali loves her Greenies and the calorie count is a plus when you're trying to get her weight down and keep it down
-
Brianna Adores Them!
As it has been only a short time that Brianna has been using the dental chews, which she loves, her teeth have shown improvement and are whiter. We will continue to use them
Best Dental Chew for Small Dogs

My best friend
I get these for my best friend because I like his breath to be fresh when he comes up and gives me kisses all the time I love him so much
-
Fewer Dental Cleanings
At the vet's recommendation, we started giving our doxies 1 every other day. Their teeth look great and we have fewer dental cleanings.

Brady goes BERSERK for Oravet
Wish these weren't so pricy because they really make Brady's breath fresh. He goes crazy as I reach for bag, before even touching it, then he really goes BERSERK! Worth the money when I have the extra.
Best Grain-Free Dog Dental Chew
-
These Treats are Grain-Free
I have really elderly dogs...(11 years old and 14 years old) and they need dental treats for the health of their teeth and gums. These treats fill the bill!
-
Smells good.
These are good but I still find them a little small for my giant breed dogs. I also wish there were more in a pack so you didn’t have to reorder as often. The product itself smells good and is chewy, but my big boy wolfs it down without a second thought so I’m not sure it’s a true dental chew in that sense.
-
Great option dental treat
Trying out a couple options for my newly adopted “golden girl” with bad breath. She likes them, seems to work, is my 2nd choice, personally. Prefer other brand with “mint” flavor, but I do recommend this brand.
Best Durable Dog Dental Chew

Wilderness large dental bones
My GSD LOVED these Wilderness Dental Bones!! We’re ALWAYS happy with Blue Buffalo Brand. We've been feeding our Rescue GSD Princess BB Wilderness since day one that she became a family member.

Best Dog Dental Chew for Puppies
-
Her Favorite!
I began giving these to Olive when she was a puppy and she went crazy over them. She's two years old now and I still buy them for her for a special weekly treat. She's so excited when she sees the bag open!
-
Yummies
My puppy and dogs love these! All I have to do is say yummy or chewy and they come flying to get theirs.
-
Good buy
gave to our puppy as a treat and she loved them. Chewed up in one setting, hopefully has clan teeth now :-)
Best Natural Dog Dental Chew

Finicky Fur Baby in love with Whimzees
My senior dog is very finnicky and typically will only eat one particular dental treat, these were part of a 'deal" and I figured if she hated them, I could share the neighbors dogs. Fat chance they will get any, she loves them. I love that they are grain free .
-
An actual chew
Most dental chews take just a few seconds for my dogs to crumble and eat. These are an actual chew and take them a few minutes so that they are actually working their teeth. Seems like a much better solution for my dogs who don't really like to play with chew toys and need some help in keeping their teeth clean.
-
Doggie Dessert and Dental Care -in-One!
My pooch loves these chews! After her dinner she is right at the kitchen counter where they are stored, waiting expectantly.

Maltipoo loves these
Our dog is from a rescue and had neglected teeth for at least two years. He needs a cleaning but these and brushing with the same companies toothpaste also took off so much plaque in the mean time! We will still do the cleaning but is breath is now fresh, his teeth bright, and he’s happy to get them everyday!
Best Overall Dog Dental Chew

Recommended By Vet
Dog love them. She get one each night at bedtime. She can’t hurry up and swallow these, seems she does take her time

Dog's teeth are still in good condition
I've been giving one of these to my rescue dog every day ever since I got her nine years ago. Someone recommended them to me and considering she is 15-17 years old and the vet said her teeth are in good condition for her age, I think they work pretty well.
-
Dalilah loves her daily greenies!
After our morning walk, she goes straight to her greenies so she can “brush” her teeth lol She loves them, wish they were a bit more affordable
