Hey,

It’s nearly the weekend, so it’s time for our Friday round-up of dog food-related news and tips.

First up, a reminder about the very special offer Ollie is currently running for its 5-star-rated fresh food. Use this link and you’ll get 60% off your first order PLUS a welcome kit of a bowl, scoop and storage container worth $50.

The offer ends at midnight PST on February 27 so don’t delay if you’re interested. Time’s running out!

Second on the menu is our first round-up of the Best Dog Dental Chews. 

(This is an ongoing thing — there are so many great dental chews to choose from — so don’t worry if your favorites aren’t here.)

Our founder, Dr. Mike Sagman, was a dentist so he knew the importance of doggy dental care. While dental chews don’t replace teeth cleaning, they’re an excellent day-to-day addition to your dog’s dental care routine.

And remember, dry dog food does not clean your dog’s teeth — that’s a myth.

Anyway, here’s our first set of recommendations, selected by our writer Sophie. She’s tried to avoid any nasty additives. We hope they put a smile on your — and your dog’s — face!

Jinx - Dental Treats

Sophie says: “Jinx has developed a premium, all-natural dental treat which boasts real chicken as the main ingredient. The deep grooves are also tough on plaque and help freshen bad breath.”

(Tip: You’ll get an extra 30% off at Jinx with the code DFADVISOR30)

Whimzees by Wellness - Alligator Dental Treats

“Say ‘see ya later alligator’ to bad doggy breath. These fun-shaped treats are designed to tackle hard-to-reach plaque and prevent tartar build-up. They’re also gluten-free, vegetarian and made with natural ingredients.”

Zesty Paws - Hemp Elements Mobility OraStix

“This special formula will simultaneously freshen your dog’s breath and ease joint stiffness. Premium ingredients include hemp seed to support immune function, and eggshell membrane to promote hip and joint health.”

PetLab Co. - Prebiotic Dental Sticks

“PetLab Co. has crafted these dental chews with added prebiotics to support overall gum health, oral hygiene, and digestion — all while cleaning your dog’s teeth and preventing tartar build-up. Clever, hey?”

PetHonesty - Allergy Support Fresh Sticks

“Fresh Sticks has a delicious peanut butter flavor and are formulated to support good dental health and fresh doggy breath. Natural ingredients like quercetin, colostrum and omegas will also help when seasonal allergies come knocking.”

That's it for this week. I hope your weekend is happy, healthy and full of dogs.

Until next time,
