Ark Naturals Protection+ Brushless Dog Dental Treats - Mini Breeds (32 ct)

Size/Bag: Mini, 4 oz Dog: 5-lb Chihuahua Routine: 1 chew nightly as a bedtime treat I started these as a nightly “brushless” treat and my Chihuahua looks forward to them. The mini size is perfect for a tiny jaw, he actually chews them instead of gulping. After making this part of our routine, his breath is noticeably fresher. At our last vet visit, I was told his tartar hasn’t gotten any worse since the prior appointment, which lines up with what I’m seeing. Pros Toy-breed friendly size; easy to chew My dog loves the taste (no coaxing needed) Breath smells better within our nightly routine Vet noted no new tartar progression since starting Cons / Watch-outs These are an adjunct, not a replacement for brushing or pro cleanings They need to be chewed to work, if your dog is a gulper, supervise or hold one end At one per day, a 4-oz bag can go quickly Bottom line: As a daily, low-effort add-on, these have been a win: my Chihuahua enjoys them, his breath is better, and tartar has held steady between checkups. I’ll keep them in our bedtime routine and update if anything changes.

Used these with my yorkie Millie. Do I bought again for my new Yorkie Kiki, she did not care for them. There are a good product.

BOTH of my senior, picky eaters LOVE the taste of these, and they seem to be helping their last dental last much longer!

The product itself is 5 stars. We’ve tried so many different dental chews. My small dog used to enjoy dental sticks but he developed a masticular issue which prevents the full extension of his jaw. The mini Protection+ dental chews are perfect for him and he actually *loves* them. He acts like I’ve accidentally dropped a piece of steak and takes off with it as if I’m going to take it back. He runs to his food bowl and chews it there. My only complaint (and reason for 1 star deduction) is with the price. It has more than doubled in price over the past two months. It’s a small bag. The new price point makes me less likely to stick with this brand and more willing to explore new options.

My pomeranian loves these! She loves the taste and practically snatches them out of my hands when I give them to her. She has a history of pancreatitis and these have not caused a flare up. They make her breath smell very fresh and I have noticed that she has not been developing plaque as quickly. Every time I order a bag the treats have always been very fresh. I haven't been disappointed when I ordered these so I will be buying them again.

I have a 7 lb Deer Head Chi, her teeth are tiny tiny tiny. These are soooo hard! No seriiusly, I got pliers and had to squeeze (with some force, I might add) and break these up into crumbs. Too, there is way too much red food coloring, that is completely unnecessary and not good for pet health. When she would go potty after eating these her poop would have red streaks, it freaked me out at first. Then we determined it was these treats. They might be tasty - she ate them and seemed to enjoy them. They might help with plaque, but not as likely if I had to break them into crumbs.

My dogs love them ❤️

My dog Milo has been using the ARK NATURALS Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste for Mini Breeds since he was a pup, and it’s 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. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in his dental health, and they’ve 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 chews—they’ve become an essential part of Milo's day!
