dental sticks

thanks glad i posted this its been really good to hear what real dog owners find help as apposed too just money making gimics thanks all xxxx

my chis cant really tolerate dentastix, i find ostrich tendons best for my chihuahuas they are a great natural chew that they love there are loads of natural chews on zooplus also the antlers as previously mentioned

I recently started giving my dog dental sticks everyday and his teeth have really improved. You can buy shops own 7 packs for a £1 in Asda.

You can get deer antler chews from this site in the UK http://www.puredog.co.uk/our-products.php

They´re pretty good, completely natural too

I´ve never bought dentistix for my dogs, and having worked in the pet food industry for a while I learnt a bit about the ingredients manufacturers put in their products and the marketing gimmicks they use. I think knuckle bones and chicken wings etc are definitely more effective and healthier for dogs, and i´ve started to use those with Millie. Sometime last year I did notice Millie´s upper back teeth and upper canines were looking in need of a clean so I bought a large pot of plaque off and I´ve been putting 2 scoops on Millie´s food ever since and can definitely say it works and can see a market improvement in her teeth - the scoop is tiny and I´m still on the same tub which I must´ve had for about 3 months now, so although it´s a bit expensive, it lasts a long time and it works. I brush Millie´s teeth too, but I think the plaque off was a good buy and would buy it again, even at that price.

melinda where can you get the deer antlwr chew i have not found a web site in uk that sells them i saw the deer hoofs advertised but only on americian web pages

When i got my dog an found he was sesative to certian food´s i started to look into what was in his food an the more you look the more shocking stuff you find. Manufacturer´s get round it by using word´s we assosiate with good thing´s i.e. "meaty chunk´s" may not contain any meat at all but be meat flavored, i think it say´s some thing like reduces plaque by so many per cent on the dental stick´s but it dosn´t say is lots of healthier treats do a better job. It´s all down to clever wording an knowing pet owner´s want what´s best for their pet,s.

Raw bones and chicken wings are a much more effective way of cleaning your dog´s teeth as the abrasive action of chewing the bone and the tearing of meat is a natural tooth cleaner and flosser, things like Dentistix are full of rubbish that has no real nutritional value to a dog.

My dogs have the occasional natural pigs ear (without the chemical preservatives which are in most) and the Deer Antler chews also go down well in this house (last ages too)

There is nothing written on the packets I have, maybe because I buy the big boxes of 36 its written on box.But Im going to check this out, and thanks for bringing this to my attention.
