That would be the perfect solution! Remove tartar from your dog by simply tossing him a few treats . You don't have to laboriously brush your pet's teeth; he gets a few snacks, you're both happy, and the tartar disappears all by itself. But can tartar really be removed that easily? At least, that's what many " dental snacks " for dogs promise. We'll take a closer look and show you whether and with which snacks tartar can actually be removed.
A lot of chewing is good for your teeth
The more your dog is engaged in chewing, the better. Chewing alone stimulates saliva flow, which protects the teeth, loosens impurities, and flushes germs and bacteria from the mouth that would otherwise form plaque. It also promotes tooth enamel regeneration. While chewing alone can't remove existing tartar, it definitely helps prevent it and satisfies your dog's natural urge to chew.
Which chew toys help with dog dental care? Which snacks can remove tartar?
You should be very careful when choosing the right snack . Many dental snacks contain sugar or grains, making them counterproductive when it comes to removing tartar. So, make sure they're as natural as possible and free of artificial additives. Suitable, gently air-dried snacks include:
- Buffalo hide bones
- Chew rolls
- Pig ears
- Bone with fur attachment
- ox whip
- etc.
Particularly firm and twisted snacks can remove light tartar through the mechanical action of chewing. However, the snack shouldn't be too small, as your dog might simply gobble it up.
Can chew snacks also remove stubborn tartar?
If your dog already suffers from stubborn tartar, chew snacks alone may not be enough. In these cases, we recommend using the emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush . With no mechanical scratching or vibration, it removes even the most stubborn tartar with regular use – saving you a trip to the vet for tartar removal.
To protect your dog from tartar in the long term, combine natural chew snacks with regular brushing with the emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush . Prevention is always easier than treatment – this way, you can enjoy a tartar-free life!
