Benefits of Dental Sticks for Dogs

Should I give my dog a dental stick? It’s a question many pet parents have!

In fact, according to The American Kennel Club, just like us humans, dogs can suffer from oral health issues. This includes bad breath, tooth decay, mouth infections, cavities, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and so on.

Luckily, there is an easy solution. The answer?
Doggy dental sticks.

Why Are Dental Sticks Good for Dogs?

In addition to brushing their teeth, dog owners everywhere love giving their four- legged friends dental sticks for several different reasons. Not only do they come in delicious flavors (like beef, chicken, and lamb) but they are loaded with physical health benefits, too!

Some of our favorites include:

• Red Barn Dog Bully Twist (all-natural, highly digestible) 
• Whimzee Stix (100% vegetarian, no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or wheat/gluten)

• Greenies (clean teeth, fresh breath and a happy dog)

Each of these doggy dental sticks will boost your pet’s oral health in the three 

important following ways:

 

 

1. Fight Plaque and Tartar Buildup

Let’s begin with the #1 reason why veterinarians recommend dental sticks – plaque and tartar. Over time, plaque hardens on a dog’s teeth after eating meals. The result is a sticky substance that mixes with saliva and builds up. When left uncleaned, this can push gums so that tooth enamel is exposed, leading to sensitivity and even pain.

Ouch!

However, a dog dental chew will scrape off plaque before becoming a bigger problem.

2. Help Maintain Healthier Gums

Speaking of gums, dental sticks for dogs keep gums pink and healthy.

Whereas animal bones can break and accidently injure your pet (or worse, be a choking hazard) a dental stick is specifically designed to suit a dog’s mouth. As they chomp, chew, and slide their canine teeth along the stick, food and buildup is scrubbed off rather than remaining on the gumline, where disease and infections can fester.

Stop swollen and irritated gums in their tracks.

3. Reduce Bad Breath

And lastly, dogs who use dental sticks smell better!

Of course, we all enjoy wet puppy kisses. But nobody likes stinky breath. Many dental sticks are made with ingredients that naturally minimize oral odor. Plus, they taste great.
