Are Dental Treats and Toys a Good Idea?

Are Dental Treats and Toys a Good Idea?

Dental treats play a 2-in-1 role. In addition to the base purpose of keeping teeth clean and healthy, they keep your pup entertained as well.Dental toys also contribute to cleaning your dog’s teeth, and the upside is that they would willingly play with these toys.This makes dental treats and toys a good idea and opting to purchase some would be a great call by a pet parent.

What Kinds of Dental Treats and Toys are Available?

There are a range of dog dental treats and toys that may be great for your pet’s dental health. However, here are the most effective ones which can be gotten from Petland or petland.com: 

Dog Chew Toys

These toys are inedible and super effective. Some pretty good ones are Plaque Attackers, Kong toys, and Gumabones. They are an especially good choice for dogs that chew and swallow treats rapidly. 

Dental Chews, Bones, and Biscuits

Some great choices include OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews, Del Monte Tartar Check Dog Biscuits, and Greenies. These are all approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC). 

Dog Dental Diets 

Certain formulations of food are effective at reducing buildup of plaque and tartar. 

This is accomplished in various ways such as larger kibble or texture that end up doing some scrubbing while your pup is chewing. 

Some others feature special coating that effectively reduces plaque, prevents bacteria growth. Before opting for any, ensure to consult a veterinarian. 

Why are Dental Treats and Toys Important?

Generally, edible treats should be limited because they typically contain lots of calories. They should be further reduced for smaller dogs.

Amazing staff. All very nice and answered all my questions. I loved all the dogs but I had to see the dog named Kevin! I went in with a completely negative view on petlands but the staff really changed my mind by going over all the breeder info, If I am ever in need of a puppy I will go there and you should too.

We came at a time they were very busy and never once did we feel rushed, or given attitude while asking questions. The two on staff were amazing and sweet!

I went in to get my dogs nails trimmed and was met with a smile and warm greeting from an employee, Dean. The trimming was quick and they really showed my scared dog good care. It was the most pleasant experience I’ve had when it comes to some of these pet places!

We just went for a walk”puppy therapy.” Look at how cute they are. I was a little surprised that considering how few customers were in at the time & yet we only got a “let us know if we can help you with anything” and that was it. There were plenty of employees in store, as it was probably the beginning of the Friday night shift, before families started coming in. I had made an appointment, just in case we decided to see any of the dogs. I guess I’m accustomed to the employees being more personal and wanting to tell me things based on the conversation my group is having without me having to reach out to them.
