PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX™

What Are Dental Treats for Dogs?

Dental treats for dogs are specially designed to support your dog’s oral health while they enjoy a delicious reward. Unlike regular dog treats, dental treats are formulated with a specific texture and shape engineered to fight plaque and tartar, freshen breath, and keep teeth cleaner between brushings. The PEDIGREE® brand offers a range of chewy and crunchy dog treats, including DENTASTIX™, trusted by pet owners everywhere to help keep their dog’s mouth healthy every day.

Benefits of Dental Treats for Dogs 

Whether you’re choosing large dog treats for powerful chewers, medium dog treats or steady nibblers, or small dog treats designed for compact breeds, the right size ensures safe, effective cleaning. Regular use of dental treats for dogs offers a range of meaningful benefits, including:

• Plaque and tartar control: The chewy, textured design of dental treats works against your dog's teeth as they chew, scraping away plaque and reducing tartar buildup.
• Fresh breath: Targets the odor-causing bacteria in your dog's mouth, leaving them with noticeably fresher breath.
• Gum health: The gentle massaging action of chewing stimulates your dog's gums, supporting healthy circulation and helping to keep gum tissue firm.
• Keeps dogs engaged: Dental treats tap into your dog's instinctive need to chew, while keeping them engaged and content between meals.
• Complement to a complete oral care routine: While no single treat replaces brushing, regular dental treats work alongside to give your dog's smile the consistent, daily attention it deserves.
