5. Raw Hide White Roll 15 pcs: The dog is a carnivore. Your dog loves to chew and therefore he needs to chew hard! This rawhide chewing snack ensures that your dog cleans their gums while scraping, and it will strengthen the jaw muscles considerably.

6. Cerea Brush Small 11 cm: Another chewing brush not to be missed in this top list of snacks that provide dental cleaning for dogs.

8. Cerea Brushies Dogs 100 gr: This toothbrush also appears in the form of numbers 2 and 6 of this list, but this variant is specially designed for cleaning the teeth of the smallest dogs and puppies. This snack measures ~3 cm and is soft as well, making it easy to chew for cleaning and sanitising the teeth of small dogs.
9. Gourmore Antler Large: These antlers are extremely hard, making them very suitable for larger adult dogs who will enjoy chewing them for hours. The prolonged chewing ensures that your dog polishes his teeth optimally and on top of that, these antlers are durable, rich in calcium and packed with valuable minerals.

 

Plenty of chewing is important

A dog's teeth consist of 42 elements and so - as with us humans - it is important to keep them in good condition. Poor teeth affect your dog's happiness and health. Moreover, not taking attentive care of a dog’s teeth can lead to significant dental problems such as gum disease, bleeding gums or loose teeth.
 

Make cleaning a pleasure

It is vitally important that you check your dog's teeth regularly, visit the vet and clean your dog's teeth yourself daily, as this can prevent the growth of plaque and tartar. Ensure your dog's teeth are healthy for life with the chew sticks and chew bars, because besides this, a healthy and vital four-legged friend does not have bad breath.
