Best Dog Dental Chews 2023

What are the Best Dental Chews for Dogs on the Market?

On this page, we’re gathering the best dental chews for dogs you can buy.

We’ll add a new selection each month, so don’t worry if the chews you use aren’t here or if you don’t like the look of any we’ve listed (although they’re all excellent).

We can’t analyze dog dental chews in the same way we analyze dog food so we’ve tried to keep the chews as healthy and natural as possible — avoiding nasty artificial additives and preservatives while making sure they’re still effective in keeping your dog’s teeth clean.

Do Dog Dental Chews Work?

Our founder, Dr. Mike Sagman, was a dentist and he knew the importance of doggy dental care. Dogs want to be able to chew bones, destroy fluffy rabbit toys and wow people with their adorable smiles — and they need a healthy set of gnashers to do this.

It’s vital you clean your dog’s teeth or get them cleaned professionally because poor dental hygiene can lead to a host of health problems, not to mention the infamous ‘dog breath’.

Dog dental chews help to scrape away plaque and tartar. They can’t replace teeth cleaning but dental chews are an excellent day-to-day addition to your dog’s dental care routine.

(By the way, dry dog food does not clean your dog’s teeththat’s a myth.)

Here are our choices for the Best Dental Chews for Dogs. We hope they put a smile on your — and your dog’s — face.
