Just like people, dogs can suffer from dental problems.

My dog loves mint dentastyx
Mint dentastyx are the reason my 6 year old Lila dog has nice teeth. She looks forward to getting one everyday and I am happy to give her one daily.
-
All three dogs love these
I give each dog one of these at bedtime. I get comments at the vet about how nice my dogs’ teeth are, even the oldest at 6yo.
-
Fantastic toothbrush!
My 2 dogs (55 & 70 pound lab/pyrenees) get one of these every day after breakfast & the vet says their teeth are perfect :)
Best Dental Bone for Dogs
-
Great treat
My older large dog needs help with tartar buildup. These really do the trick. I've tried Greenies but he won't eat them. He loves the milk bones dental chews. They are like a tasty treat that he has to work at to eat. They really help his teeth stay cleaner. Plus they haven't caused him any distress which I worry about due to his chronic pancreatitis.
-
must have after feeding
My dog MUST have one to "brush her teeth" after supper. She will let you know if you forgot it!
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

-
Cleans Teeth
I like this product for teeth cleaning we have an old dog and a young dog and they work great for the breath on the older dog as well
Best Dental Chew for Small Dogs
-
the fact that they are individually wrapped inside the package
these dental chews are smaller for my dog, they are also "sweeter" or so it seems because my dog begs for them every day and he doesn't usually beg for his dental chews.
-
Exceptional Customer Service
Service rep assisted me in placing my order when my online order using PayPal would not process. She apologized for the inconvenience and applied a discount to my purchase which was not Chewy's fault but my own - I was not aware that I had not set up payment through PayPal as a payment option with Chewy although I've often used it with other merchants.
-
Better than Greenies
My dog would turn his nose up at Greenies but goes nuts over these dental treats. I have been giving them to my dogs for 4 years.
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 Dog Dental Chew for Puppies

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!

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.

The only “treat” that will get my boy to take his Cosequin. He knows he has to finish it to get his dental chew. When he gets the chew, he races off to eat it in the other room. With other treats, he’s find eating it in the kitchen.
-
Dogs love them
My vet office recommended these. My dogs love them. I do cut them up for ease of chewing for them

The like them
Time will tell how effective they are, but 10 days in they are still begging for their daily dental treats!
