Keeping your furry friends’ smiles healthy doesn’t have to be a chore, with the right dental essentials, and daily habits, dental care can become a tasty part of everyday life. At Bone & Biscuit, we believe in offering pet parents solutions that not only support oral health but are also made with quality ingredients pets love. Below, we break down the top dental essentials that support oral hygiene and share tips for building routines that truly make a difference.
Why Dental Care Matters for Pets
Oral hygiene in dogs and cats goes beyond fresh breath, plaque buildup and tartar can lead to gum inflammation, periodontal disease, and even pain or systemic health issues. Chewing and properly formulated treats can help mechanically reduce plaque and tartar, complementing other dental care habits such as brushing and vet checks.
Dental Essentials Worth Your Attention
Raw Bones for Cat & Dogs: Red Dog Blue Kat Lamb Femurs & Chicken Necks
RDBK offers frozen lamb femurs and chicken necks that are perfect for cats and small dogs who are gentle chewers. These treats aren’t just tasty, they also support dental health by helping to clean teeth and massage gums. On top of that, chewing provides important mental stimulation, keeping pets engaged and satisfied while promoting overall well-being.
Nutrition That Supports Dental Health: Oven Baked Tradition Cat & Dog Dental Care
Your pets’ overall health starts with proper nutrition, and that includes their teeth and gums. Oven Baked Tradition’s Care Line offers a Dental Care recipe for cats & dogs that’s made to help reduce tartar and plaque, support cavity prevention, encourage natural teeth cleaning, and keep their breath fresh.
Supplements: ProDen PlaqueOff ® Cat & Dog Powder
ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder offers a natural solution, using a specially selected Norwegian seaweed to help reduce plaque, tartar, and bad breath. Simply sprinkled on your pet’s food daily, it supports oral health and helps keep their teeth and gums in great condition.
Treats: Crumps’ Naturals Plaque Busters
Crumps’ original dental sticks are a fun way to support your dog’s oral health! Made with a tasty natural sweet potato flavor and finely ground oyster shells, these treats help reduce plaque and tartar buildup on teeth.
Building a Routine That Works
The best dental care isn’t just one product, it’s a routine.
1. Daily Brushing (When Possible)
Even a few times a week can dramatically improve dental health. Use pet-safe toothpaste and appropriately sized brushes. Brushing reaches areas that chews and treats can’t.
2. Smart Chewing Every Day
Combine treats and chews like:
- Red Dog Blue Kat Raw Bones (Cat & Dogs)
- Crumps’ Naturals Plaque Busters (Dogs)
These help mechanically reduce plaque buildup through chewing action.
3. Regular Vet Checks
Routine professional exams and cleanings catch issues early. Chews and brushing are helpful, but veterinary care, especially for hidden tartar and gum health, is irreplaceable.
Healthy teeth mean happier pets, and happier pet parents. With the right mix of nutritious foods, delicious chews, and an easy daily routine, dental care becomes something your animal looks forward to. Bone & Biscuit’s curated options: from Red Dog Blue Kat to Oven Bake Tradition, ProDen PlaqueOff®, and Crumps’ Naturals, help make dental health approachable and enjoyable.
