ARK NATURALS Breath Bursts Brushless Toothpaste Dog Treats, Dog Dental Bits for Small Breeds, Unique Texture Helps Clean Teeth & Freshen Breath, Peppermint, 4 oz, 1 Pack

I’ve tried a lot of dental treats for my small dog, but these Breath Bursts really stand out. The size is ideal for little mouths—no chopping or crumbling needed—and my pup actually wants to chew them, which is half the battle with dental care. The brushless design is clever: it’s soft enough to be gentle on teeth but still textured enough to help clean. After a week of daily use, I noticed a real improvement in her breath—less “dog breath,” more “neutral zone.” Bonus points for the natural ingredients and the fact that she thinks it’s a treat, not a chore. If you’ve got a small breed and want to sneak in some dental hygiene without the drama, these are a smart pick.

When we adopted our dog, she had come from a home where she was neglected - not abused, but just nothing was ever done for her. They hadn't bothered to fix her and she got pregnant because they had other dogs in the home and they just dumped her at the pound. Just neglect. The SPCA vet removed half of her teeth and cleaned them and said that we should be really careful with her dental. So I've had our vet following her. When we brought her home, I decided to give her a dental treat after each meal. We tried various things and settled on these. I don't know if it helps her, but the vet's happy with what her teeth look like - he cleaned last year, three years post-adoption. And she likes them and enjoys getting treated for eating! So she's gone from neglect girl to a well cared for - and a little spoiled – pup. :)

I like these, but they are hard to chew for my toy poodle

This product really works. My 10 year old and 20lb furry family member started taking it a week ago. Recently his breath started stinking really bad and I was worried. After giving this chew to him after breakfast every day, the breath stink has definitely reduced by 70-80%. I am going to continue with this product. Its small size and softness is great. I like the price so far. Hope it stays there! I am adding this with the green dental powder as well. But that powder I was mixing with his food for months. This chew I added recently and the difference is noticeable.

I have 2 dogs. The one who doesn’t need breath refreshed loves them. The one whose breath is bad won’t touch them so it all depends on your dog. They are cute little hearts and very hard.
