One of the interesting things about having the boarding kennel here is the variety of things that people bring along with their pets. I see a huge range of foods, ranging from brands you can get at any grocery store, to exclusive brands you’ve never heard of. I also get to talk to people about supplements and treats and edible dog dental chews.
Sometimes I find myself intrigued by new products and sometimes not so much. One thing I have to admit that I love the idea of is dental chewies that would really give you clean teeth. Honestly, I think I would just love anything that would extend the time between vet visits for dentals. LOL
I wonder about these Nylabone Nubz dental treats. They are supposed to clean teeth, freshen breath, (which is what Raven needs so badly!), reduce plaque and tartar. They have no added sugar, salt, plastic or preservatives and they are Gluten-free.
So, I tend to be a sucker for a sale, and I guess there is a coupon for $3.50 in the Costco monthly coupon book that’s good until the 12th of September. I might have to go take a look, and stop at Costco on my next trip to Salt Lake.
Gluten free seems to be the trend lately. I don’t even know what it is! I wonderif they took the gluten out, or if it never would have had gluten to begin with.
I’ve tried greenies. My dogs loved them, but they didn’t seem to make any difference in their teeth or breath.
Yeah, that’s the same experience I’ve always had. My dogs love the chews, but I haven’t seen dramatic changes in their teeth. LOL
Do any of these things really work on teeth? We are having a little success with bully sticks and raw beef marrow bones. My teeth have been stained and a couple have tartar built up from almost immediately after I got my adult teeth and chewing on these bones has removed some of the staining.
I have serious doubts. It’s kind of like weight loss products. LOL It’d be nice, but not really likely to work.
hmmm Katie’s teeth are bad too. Maybe I’ll send husband to Costco…
