The toothpaste-filled center contains natural ingredients like chlorophyll, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla for enhanced breath freshening and oral defense. Made in the USA with natural ingredients, this soft-textured chew is both powerful and gentle, tailored to keep your small dog happy and healthy.
