Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste is the only dental chew that stops plaque and tartar before they start! Powered by nature’s most powerful antioxidant: Astaxanthin! Astaxanthin stops plaque and tartar before it can even start by boosting the antibody immunoglobulin A (lgA) in the saliva, therefore creating a protective barrier on teeth! Our unique 5-in-1 dental chews have a toothpaste center with active ingredients and natural breath fresheners such as cinnamon, clove and vanilla. Our dental chews also support gums with antioxidant power and form a protective barrier to support healthy teeth.

My dogs’ FAVORITE treat!
My dogs *LOVE* these treats, they are their favorite! I hope they NEVER stop making them. I was skeptical at first about how well they would clean my dogs’ teeth, but I gave it a try. My dogs had moderate plaque, so I started giving them a ProDen Plaque Off chew in the am, (they will eat them, but they aren’t their favorite like these are) and one of these Ark Naturals at night. They come to me at precisely 8pm demanding them, and they don’t do that for the others. Sometimes the bigger one will come in ahead of time and try to trick me into giving it out early.The way I understood my reading, the kelp in the ProDen Plaque Off chews kinda makes the tartar thin and brittle enough to break away, while the ingredient in these Ark Naturals Protection+ treats cause a release of igA in their saliva which forms a protective barrier on teeth. We went from our vet telling us we needed to get dentals soon (both dogs will turn 4 this summer, and one is a chi mix, so their teeth go bad quickly) to clean teeth using these. I was surprised, because that included the incisors and canines, not just the molars they chew with. You have to be patient, it does take time to work. You need to give it ay least a good month to start noticing any results, and at least 2 months to see some good results. The smell is a little different…they have meat flavoring and clove in them among other things, so that’s an interesting scent combo. Haha But it’s not horrific, and you get used to it. It was just a surprise to me at first. They do work, though, so no complaints. My dogs have fresh breath, clean teeth, and the dogs didn’t have any tummy issues, etc. with them.If you’re wondering why I don’t just brush their teeth, I have RA pretty bad, so my hands cramp up and hurt trying to get in my chi’s tiny mouth with a brush. The treat combo I discussed above is my workaround, but I do try to get in there every now and then on one of my “good” days. This combo can be expensive depending on how many dogs you have, but it’s definitely cheaper than dentals! Also better not to do anesthesia if you don’t have to. Now that we have pretty clean teeth here, I’m considering maybe dropping the ProDen Plaque Off chews since the dogs aren’t that excited about them, and will keep going with these. It would be interesting to see how well they help prevent plaque and tartar on their own. For now, I definitely recommend these, and I signed up for the monthly subscription for the bigger bags. I think my dogs would completely freak out if I missed giving any. They can be pricey in the small bags at retail stores, but you might want to get a small bag first to sample and make sure they agree with your dogs and they like the flavor. Hope they work well for you also if you try them!

Great preventative treat | Dogs love it
Great treat for my dog it loves the taste. Price point is a great value. This treat was not harsh on my dogs stomach. There is a slight order but good quality. Itâs a bit chewy and did not leave any residue on my carpet.

ARK NATURALS Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste
My dog Milo has been using the ARK NATURALS Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste for Mini Breeds since he was a pup, and itâs been a fantastic addition to his daily routine for the past five years. He absolutely looks forward to these dental chews every morning, eagerly waiting for his “toothpaste treat.” The chews are not only effective at keeping his teeth clean and fresh but also seem to genuinely enjoy the taste. Iâve noticed a significant improvement in his dental health, and theyâve helped reduce tartar buildup over the years. The 4oz bag is convenient and lasts quite a while, making it a great value. If you’re looking for a reliable and enjoyable way to maintain your dog’s dental hygiene, I highly recommend these chewsâtheyâve become an essential part of Milo’s day!

Dog approved
My dog likes them but they got hard quickly. He still ate them. They are small so not sure how well they clean teeth. My dog is still a pup and has white teeth and always has fresh breath.

Dogs go crazy for these treats
We bought these to work on teeth maintenance of our 2 dogs. Little did we know that these treats are the best thing our dogs have ever had – – they whimper for them when it is close to the time they receive these treats. We are forever customers because our dogs would leave us if we stopped buying these treats!

It’s for pets with gingivitis, my dog is a Chihuahua they are prone to it.
At first my dog took it and put it down and didn’t want it. I thought I was going to have to return it, but then he went and picked it up and eat it. Thank you

My dog loves it as a treat and her teeth are cleaner after a few weeks of use, worth the price.
