Customer Reviews
Vinnie has been happily chewing his treat and enjoying every mouthful since we started giving these to him. He has lovely clean teeth and fresh breath.
Thank you for your lovely review, Lynne! Vinnie sounds like such a sweetheart, waiting for his afternoon treat and loving every bite. We’re so glad the Senior Dental Sticks are keeping his teeth clean and his breath fresh. Big pats to Vinnie from us
Both dogs tried them, one dog had diarrhoea the next day and the other didn’t, dog with diarrhoea has always had a temperamental tummy, I gave him a small piece the next day with the same result, I won’t persevere with giving the dental sticks to him. Other dog liked them, with no ill effects. Too soon to notice any difference to teeth.
Thanks for giving our Senior Dental Sticks a go, Robyne! We’ve reached out to you directly regarding your pup and their temperamental tummy 😞 We hope they are feeling better today! We’re so glad to hear your other pup is loving them with no issues, that’s a tail-wagging win in our book! Every dog is different, and we’re always here to help find the right fit for both your furry friends xx
No proof yet that teeth are cleaner, but my dog thinks they are delicious
Thanks so much for the smile Helene!
We’re glad to hear your pup is loving the taste, that’s always the first (and most important ) step. With daily chewing, the active ingredients will get to work on plaque and tartar over time, so fingers crossed you’ll start seeing some changes soon. Please keep us in the loop!
Thanks for giving our Senior Dental Sticks a go, we’re so happy to be part of your pup’s routine
Bored dog at home?
If your furry friend is feeling a bit bored at home, why not try a lick mat? Smear a dental stick on it for extra fun and a bit of a dental health boost.
You could also roll some healthy treats and dental sticks into a towel and watch them dig in! These activities are great for mental stimulation—they'll keep your pup busy and tap into their natural sniffing instincts.
Plus, after all that fun, expect a long, peaceful nap. It’s a simple way to keep them happy and healthy!
Some FAQ’s we get asked
How do Bell & Bone's dental sticks work?
Dental sticks for dogs are created so that when the dog chews on them, plaque and tartar should be removed from the teeth. There are two ways that this can occur: either from being hard enough to scrape plaque from the surface of the tooth or by activating the ingredients that are scientifically proven to prevent and reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
When a dental stick is just hard and contains no active ingredients only surface level plaque may be removed. This is definitely not the most effective way of caring for your dog’s oral health.
Most brands of dental sticks unfortunately do not contain active ingredients which may be the reason for high rates of dental disease in dogs.
Bell & Bone Dental Sticks are one of the few Australian brands that contain active ingredients known to prevent and reduce plaque and tartar. Working with industry experts, Bell & Bone has included Sodium Tripolyphosphate and Zinc Sulphate in their range of dental sticks. These ingredients will activate when your dog chews on their dental stick to provide them with optimal oral care.
Are Bell & Bone Dental Sticks good for dogs?
Bell & Bone Dental Sticks are quite different to most other brands in the market. Where they often include grains and fillers, preservatives, unnatural colours and flavours, sugar and salt. Our healthy dog treats are made with natural ingredients. Bell & Bone makes sure they have nothing of the sort included in their formula.
Besides differentiating from other brands by including active ingredients known to prevent and reduce plaque and tartar, Bell & Bone Dental Sticks are also healthy and good for dogs.
They have a protein first ingredient like Kangaroo, Salmon, Chicken, Duck and Lamb and are grain, filler, sugar and nasty free.
Bell & Bone Dental Sticks also include Mint and Parsley for fresher breath and a range of superfoods with natural oral health benefits for your dog. Manuka Honey can help with sore gums, Activated Charcoal is known to help whiten teeth and freshen breath, Seaweed can prevent and reduce plaque naturally and so on.
Bell & Bone Dental Sticks are full of natural vitamins and minerals such as protein, magnesium, iron, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids. Our healthy dog treats come in 3 hypoallergenic flavours for allergies and sensitive tummies – Kangaroo, Salmon and Duck.
We recommend reading the ingredient list before choosing your brand of dental sticks.
Are dental sticks as good as brushing?
We recommend brushing your dog’s teeth daily as it is still the best thing you can do for yourdog’s dental health. However, we understand that this is a challenge; therefore,dental sticksare a great replacement. They provide similardental health benefits— please note that not all dental sticks do this, but Bell & Bone does due to theactive ingredients.
