Did you know dental treats and toys can reduce plaque buildup on your pet's teeth?

The simple mechanical action of chewing can reduce plaque buildup, and some dental treat products contain anti-tartar ingredients. If your pet chews through their edible treats too quickly, non-edible dental chew toys may be a good choice for your pet!

Ask our team about about the right dental treats and chew toys.
