Any Q

The mechanical action of chewing the meat off a bone helps to remove plaque, which then minimises the formation of tartar (calcified plaque). Giving your dog bones regularly can increase the time between dental cleans at the vet and keep your dog's teeth cleaner and healthier for longer.


Is chewing on bones bad for my dogs teeth?

#1: Bones. Many owners think meat bones are a safe, natural chew toy for pets; however, chewing on any hard material can fracture a tooth. Dogs love bones, and can become so focused on gnawing off every last bit of tissue that they fail to notice a cracked or broken tooth.

What bones are good for dogs teeth?

Lamb bones and goat bones are excellent options for dogs because they're still abrasive and hard, but not as dense as raw beef bones or raw bison bones. Raw bones are an excellent option for helping to keep your dog's teeth and gums healthy.
