Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews different from regular dental treats?
Ans: OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews combine two actions: the chew’s texture scrubs off existing plaque, and delmopinol hydrochloride forms a barrier on teeth and gums to help prevent bacteria from sticking and starting new plaque.
Q2: How often should OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews for Large Dogs be given?
Ans: Give one OraVet Dental Hygiene Chew per day. Daily use maintains the delmopinol barrier and supports ongoing plaque and tartar reduction, helping keep breath fresher and teeth cleaner between professional dental cleanings.
Q3: What weight range is the large size meant for?
Ans: The Large OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews are labeled for dogs over 50 pounds. Using the correct size helps ensure safe chewing and avoids underdosing, which the label warns may increase the risk of choking.
Q4: At what age can dogs start OraVet chews?
Ans: OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews are intended for dogs six months of age and older. This age guideline helps ensure dogs have developed adult teeth and the necessary chewing ability to accommodate the medicated chew size and texture.
Q5: How does delmopinol hydrochloride help with plaque control?
Ans: Delmopinol hydrochloride released during chewing coats teeth, tongue, and gums to create a protective film. This barrier helps prevent bacterial attachment, the first step in plaque, tartar formation, and bad breath development.
Q6: Will OraVet chews replace brushing or vet dental cleanings?
Ans: No, OraVet chews are designed to be part of a complete dental routine. They help reduce plaque and tartar between cleanings, but regular tooth brushing and professional veterinary dental care are still recommended.
Q7: Can a dog eat more than one OraVet chew a day?
Ans: The label says not to give more than one chew per day per dog. Extra chews don’t improve results and may add unnecessary calories or increase the risk of choking if the dog consumes them too quickly.
Q8: How soon can I notice breath or plaque improvement?
Ans: Many owners notice fresher breath within the first couple of weeks as bacterial attachment decreases. Plaque and tartar control improve with consistent daily chewing, especially when started after a veterinary dental cleaning.
Q9: Are OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews safe for multi-dog households?
Ans: Yes, when used correctly. Each dog should receive only one appropriately sized chew daily. Supervise dogs while they chew and prevent sharing, as smaller dogs could choke on a large chew.
