Good to know before you buy

  • Steel bowl: Wash bowls daily. If acne persists, see your vet.
  • Natural rubber or cotton rope toys: Natural rubber: skip it if anyone in the house has a latex allergy. Supervise rope play and throw out frayed rope. Stuffing a toy with peanut butter? Check the label for xylitol, also called birch sugar, which is dangerous to dogs.
  • Enzymatic dog toothpaste: Start with a dab on your fingertip so your dog learns the taste, then bring in the brush. If daily brushing isn’t possible, brush as often as you can and keep chews as an extra.

  5. Kansas State University (American Veterinary Dental College member): daily brushing is the gold standard; no dental diet, chew or water additive can replace it
  6. Colorado State University Veterinary Health System: brushing is the most successful way to remove plaque; VOHC chews help in addition to daily brushing
  7. VCA Animal Hospitals: the gold standard is daily brushing, though it isn't possible for every pet
  8. VCA Animal Hospitals: human toothpaste contains fluoride that shouldn't be swallowed, and some contain xylitol, which is toxic for dogs
