A dog is chewing on a green dog dental chew

There are many products that are designed to clean your pet’s teeth through chewing. They work by rubbing against the pets teeth as they bite and chew which can lower the amount of plaque bacteria present on the tooth’s surface. For a list of effective products, go to the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC).
