Ark Naturals Brushless Toothpaste dental chews pair a ridged, crunchy outer texture with a chewy center. As your dog chews, the textured exterior provides mechanical abrasion, while the center includes aromatic ingredients commonly used for breath-freshening. These chews are intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding and are commonly fed as part of a daily dental routine (up to two chews per day, per packaging directions).
