1 Brush their teeth
Still the gold standard. A dog-safe toothpaste, a soft brush, a few times a week. Go slow, keep it positive, and build up from a few seconds.
Dental Edition
5 reasons to start caring about your dog's teeth this week
Nobody gets excited about dog dental care. But it's one of the quietest, most common ways dogs lose good years. Here's the honest case, what actually helps, and treats made from real, natural ingredients.
78%
of dogs age 3 and older have some form of oral disease.

It's far more common than you think
Periodontal (gum) disease is considered the most common disease in dogs over 3. Most of it starts silently, as plaque that hardens into tartar, long before you'd spot anything from the outside.

2
Bad breath is a signal, not a personality trait
"Dog breath" gets a laugh. But persistent, nose-wrinkling breath usually means bacteria are building up on the teeth and along the gumline. If it's bad enough that you turn your head, it's worth a look.

It hurts, and dogs are experts at hiding it
Dogs rarely whimper about a sore mouth. Instead they drop food, chew on one side, or quietly go off hard treats. By the time it's obvious, the problem has usually been building for a while.

It doesn't always stay in the mouth
The bacteria behind gum disease can enter the bloodstream. Researchers link advanced periodontal disease with problems in organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. The link is well documented, though "linked to" is not the same as "causes."

Prevention is cheaper and kinder than the fix
Once disease is advanced, treatment usually means a professional cleaning under anesthesia, sometimes with extractions. A few minutes of routine at home, started early, is the far easier path for your dog and your wallet.

Quick check
Is your dog showing any of these signs?
Persistent bad breath
Yellow or brown tartar
Red or swollen gums
Drooling more than usual
Dropping food or chewing on one side
Pawing at the mouth
Even one of these is worth a conversation with your vet. And since dogs hide discomfort well, don't wait for symptoms before you start looking after their mouth.

MEET THE FOUNDER
WE'RE ME. CINDY.
I started this company because I love dogs, and I want them to be as healthy and happy as doggilly possible.
It all began with my dog Zoe who was terribly allergic to a number of proteins. So, I began my search for treats and food that wouldn't irritate her skin and tummy. And as I learned more, I also discovered a number of products shipped in from overseas that were harmful to dogs. I wanted to do something about this too.
I made it my commitment to create treats that offer a diversity of proteins with human-grade ingredients produced in the United States in USDA Inspected facilities.
CINDY, FOUNDER

The routine
Three things. One of them isn't a treat.
We make treats, and we're telling you this anyway: nothing we sell replaces the first two.
2 See your vet regularly
A yearly check lets a professional catch what you can't see, including what's happening below the gumline.
3 Make the routine easier with the right treats
A treat your dog loves makes brushing something they look forward to. A chewy, natural treat gives them something good to work on. That's the role our bundle plays: it supports the routine. It doesn't replace it.
