Ark Naturals 4-in-1 Brushless Toothpaste Chews for Small Dental Dogs (12 oz)

4-in-1 Dental Chews for Small Breed Dogs' Oral Care

Product Description

Ark Naturals 4-in-1 Brushless Toothpaste Chews are sized for small dogs, roughly 8 to 20 pounds. The textured outer layer scrubs against teeth as your dog chews, helping cut back on plaque and tartar, while a toothpaste-like center inside works to polish teeth and keep odor-causing bacteria under control. Natural cinnamon, clove, alfalfa, and vanilla help with fresh breath, making it easy to build a twice-daily dental habit at home.
