Dental treats for dogs with a taste they'll look forward to
Dental treats for dogs have two jobs to do at once: they need to do good work in the mouth, and they need to taste good enough that your dog genuinely looks forward to them. That is precisely the balance struck by the DENTAL SERIES. Here you'll find six treats that work mechanically against plaque while tasting of the ingredients dogs would actually choose for themselves. No artificial rewards, no compromises on what goes in — just a daily routine that feels like a pleasure for both of you.
The series comes in two expressions. The semi-soft TEETH DELIGHTS are small dental treats with mint, and you can choose between collagen and turmeric, chamomile and sage, or probiotics and cinnamon. Then there are the grain-free DENTAL DELIGHTS, where GRAIN-FREE CLASSIC is made up of 98% chicken, beef and turkey, while BEEF & RABBIT and BEEF & GAME each contain 96% beef, paired with rabbit and game respectively. What they all have in common is that meat and carefully chosen ingredients do the work — and fillers don't.
How dental treats become a natural part of your dog's day
Dental health is built on small, repeated actions. A dental treat works best when it becomes a daily habit rather than something you remember once your dog's breath has already turned strong. Give it at the same time each day if you can — after the evening meal, for instance, where the chewing gets to work on plaque while your dog settles down for the night. For small dogs and dogs with closely spaced teeth, that daily rhythm matters even more, because plaque takes hold more quickly.
Do remember that treats count towards your dog's total daily energy intake. Adjust the meal slightly if your dog is having several treats through the day, so their weight stays steady. If you're unsure how much is right for your particular dog, you can read more about how to judge whether your dog is a healthy weight — and you're always welcome to talk it through with our nutritional advisers by phone, chat or email before you settle on a routine.
Ingredients with a purpose
Mint runs through the TEETH DELIGHTS range, because it gives the chew a fresh finish. Around it we've built three different profiles, so you can choose whichever makes the most sense for your dog. Collagen and turmeric speak to dogs where you'd like to support the body and everyday movement. Chamomile and sage offer a mild, herbal character. Probiotics and cinnamon are for those who want digestion and general wellbeing built into the daily treat.
The grain-free DENTAL DELIGHTS take a different route. Here it's the high meat content that carries the flavour, and the texture that does the work. Beef and game have a deep, gamey character, while beef and rabbit is milder and often goes down well with dogs of more delicate taste.

Teeth, breath and what happens beneath the surface
Bad breath is rarely a coincidence. It usually tells you something about what's going on at the gum line, and it's worth taking seriously, because plaque can develop into tartar and inflammation over time. Dental treats are a powerful part of prevention, but they don't stand alone. The combination of daily chewing, regular checks of the mouth and a nutritionally excellent meal delivers the best results over time. We've gathered everything we've learned about oral hygiene and bad breath in dogs, if you'd like to go deeper.
What to pair the series with
Many owners use the DENTAL SERIES as their fixed daily routine and add something that keeps their dog occupied for longer. If you'd like to give the jaw muscles more resistance, you'll find natural options among our long-lasting chews. And if the everyday routine needs a little more variety, our full range of dog treats covers everything from small training rewards to pure delicacies from the fish series.
Quality all the way down to the bowl
A dental treat makes a real difference, but the foundation lies in the daily meal. The balance of protein, minerals and texture affects teeth, digestion and coat alike, which is why it makes sense to see treat and meal as two parts of the same whole. Our dog meals are prepared from fresh produce and human-grade ingredients in Our finest British Heritage Kitchens, and they're formulated by life stage and need, so you can find exactly what suits your dog's everyday life.
