Dental Chews and Treats for Dogs

Shop the Best Dog Dental Chews from Pet Lovers Centre

Dental chews play an important role in your dog's oral care regimen. Regular use helps maintain cleaner teeth by loosening plaque that, if left unchecked, could harden into tartar. By chewing on them, your dog actively works to keep their teeth clean.

With the wide variety of dental chews and sticks available at Pet Lovers Centre Malaysia, you can be sure to find one that your furry friend will enjoy! 

Note: While dental chews offer many benefits, it is important to monitor your dog during chew time to prevent any choking hazards from small or broken pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Chews for Dogs

What kind of chews are safe for my dog's teeth?

Choosing the right chews for your dog is crucial in preventing dental damage. Steer clear of overly hard, natural options like bones and pigs’ ears, especially if your dog's teeth are prone to damage. Hard plastic bones, sterilised beef bones, and cow hooves can also potentially break diseased or weak teeth. 

Additionally, it is best to avoid giving your dog fresh bones that still have meat and cartilage on them due to potential bacterial contamination and the presence of sharp bone fragments, particularly for dogs that chew aggressively. 

Instead, we recommend looking for dental chews or chew toys for dogs since they are safe and effective for your pup’s dental health.

Do dogs need dental chews daily?

Giving your dog a dental chew regularly, such as daily or every other day, is a good practice. This consistent chewing action can help prevent the build-up of plaque that could otherwise harden into tartar.  However, it is important to remember that dental chews contain calories, so they should be taken into account as part of your dog’s daily calorie intake to avoid excessive weight gain.

At what age can my dog be given dental chews? 

Your dog can start enjoying dental treats once they reach 6 months of age. Keep in mind that these dog treats contain calories and should be included in your pup's daily food intake. For puppies, there are specific chews designed to be gentle on their developing teeth and gums. Always consult your vet to find the most suitable dental chews for your dog's needs.
