2. Preventing Tartar Buildup: Regular use of dental treats can help prevent the formation of tartar, which can lead to more serious dental problems like gingivitis and periodontal disease.
3. Freshening Breath: Many dental treats contain ingredients that help neutralize bad breath, leaving your dog’s mouth smelling fresh.
