Dental Chews, Friend or Foe

Let’s Talk About Dental Chews! 🐾

We get it — you see “Dental Chew” on the packet and it feels like the right choice for your pet. After all, who doesn’t want clean teeth and a healthy mouth?

But here’s what most people don’t realise:
Many commercial dental chews are heavily marketed (and very cleverly so!) to seem like the only option for dental health. The truth?
✔️ They can help reduce plaque through the chewing action.
❗ But some are highly processed, full of fillers, sugars, and additives — things your pet’s body doesn’t need.
❗ And not all dogs chew them properly; some gulp them down, which doesn’t help their teeth at all!

So what’s the better, natural option?

Anything that’s naturally abrasive and encourages slow, proper chewing can work as an excellent “dental chew.”

✅ Raw bones (suitable types, always with supervision)
✅ Natural animal parts like rabbit ears, tendons, and bully sticks
✅ Dehydrated chews with natural fibres

These natural chews not only help clean teeth by scraping away plaque, they also engage your pet’s instincts, keep them mentally stimulated, and avoid loading them with unnecessary ingredients.

Natural chews = A Healthier body and a healthier mind!

In short:
👉 Dental health isn’t about the packet.
👉 It’s about what and how your pet chews.
👉 Natural options can be even better — and much more fun!
