Best Dental Sticks for Dogs

Dogs love, and great for teeth
After dinner, they get their "cookie" and they are very enthusiastic about it, enjoy it a lot, and I know from their vet appts that their teeth are great. One dog in particular, we couldn't afford to have his teeth cleaned and a cookie a day for a year improved him so much, the vet said no cleaning needed.

My Go To in Dental Treats for Seniors
When my senior dog starting having kidney issues, it was very difficult to fine low protein treats for her -- most treats have more than 20% protein which is way to high for a dog with CKD. She was also a greyhound and they have awful dental problems so I wanted to find a dental treat that was low protein, soft enough for her to chew but yet substantial enough to clean her teeth. These do the trick. I cut them into smaller pieces for my nine pound chi-doxie mix and my medium size Toller. They are soft enough that cutting them is very easy. That way I don't have buy multiple sizes. I could not cut some of the other "green" treats and it was...

Best Budget Dog Dental Chew

Excellent dog snack
My dog loves the sticks and it really helps her digestion issues. I continue to buy them all of the time. My dog can’t get enough of them.
-
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.
Best Dental Chew for Large Dogs
-
Our 85 lb. Golden LOVES these!
These are expensive, but once a day we give Ozzie one of these and it makes his day. They must taste delicious and we know they are great for his teeth because our vet raves about how good his teeth are. Ozzie’s worth it.
-
Lots of chewing
I was afraid my dog would woof these down instead of chewing them. He did not. If you are unsure which size to buy, go for the larger.
-
My dogs pick
I give my standard poodle/lab a choice of dental treats each morning and he always chooses a large size greenies!
Best Dental Chew for Small Dogs

Mmmmm green thing!
I pester my human for these each night around 7. We call them my nightly green thing. They taste really good and my human says they help my breath.

My Dogs Love These Bones
My dogs love these green dental chews. I merely have to ask them if they want a green bone and they come running. And, I have seen results on their teeth in about 20 days.
-
It actually helped
I have been trying everything to help my dog's in between dental. I noticed better breath and slowly the tartar was coming off.
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.

One of the better dog treats...
A grain free after dinner bone treat for my Golden. He must love em because he never let's me forget to get his bone after eating. We love them...well, wait one...he (the dog...) loves them.
-
German shepherd loves these!
My dog loves these. I also like the bone shape, it makes it easy to break the treat into smaller pieces.
-
It’s dog gone good!
Lucy loves to sink her teeth into this tantalizing kibble. I love the fact it’s wholesome and helps maintain her health. I’ll keep buying it as long as it’s available.

-
Nice scent!
My puppy gets one a day after his dinner at night and it helps w the dog breath definitely it is mintier tho for those dogs who don’t like my old ones hate mint stuff but my puppy seems to prefer these over the wellness whimzies
-
Great for All Ages
I started giving these Puppy Health Grain-Free Dental Sticks to my Husky Mix puppy over three years ago, and have not stopped. I like the ingredients better than many of the "sticks" out there, and I have never noticed any digestive upset (with one a day). I also give one to my old 14+ year old Corgi Mix that loves the taste of them, too.
Best Natural Dog Dental Chew

Delicious
Well, at least that’s what our dog says! I’ve added this to her rotation of dental chews. She loves it.
-
Excellent !
Our 2 miniature poodles absolutely adore these dental chews. I has an apparent sensitivity to chicken. We purchased the veggie chews for that reason. When I take the bag out of the pantry their reaction is immediate. They jump like crickets and race (and I mean speed demons) their beds. They sit, lie down and shake hands awaiting this treat. Their reactions are priceless ! Highly recommend!
-
Puppy Lab Loves Them!
Our 4 month old lab is starting to loose his baby teeth. New ones coming in, kept him busy for a while. Teeth are looking wonderful!
Best Dog Dental Chew for Bad Breath

Nightly teeth cleaning.
My dog has IBD and these are made with Veggies. I give them to him and our other dog every night for teeth cleaning. They expect it now and love their nightly chew.

Great for dogs on a Hydrolized Diet!
My love bug developed a wildly sensitive GI tract last year and has only been able to tolerate Purina ProPlan Hydrolized salmon food. As a dog who used to get any treat she wanted, people food on the regular, and a daily greenie, the restricted diet affected her mood and demeanor. It broke my heart that our daily greenie ritual had to stop. Her vet gave us the a-okay to try these and see how she tolerated it and, almost 3 weeks in, so far so good! She was ecstatic to have something other than her hydrolyzed food and it brought a tear to my eye to see her pounce after and play with a greenie (of sorts) again. She was so happy! If you have...
Best Overall Dog Dental Chew

Puppy loved it
Got a six count to test it out and it’s the perfect amount for whether she liked it or not and luckily she did!
-
Endless Choices
Having the option of buying a large quantity of my boys treats is so much better than buying multiple smaller bags of them at the grocery store. And the price is better too

Our Dog Is In Love With Them
They are her favorite thing to eat. She can't have one till she finishes her food and as soon as she is done, she looks at us with an intent stare......we say, "You want your cookie?".....she licks her lips and puts her paw up to beg....so cute.
