Dental Chews 101: What Really Keeps Your Pet's Teeth Healthy


Listen Later

In this solo episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske breaks down the truth about dental health for dogs and cats—starting with a key myth: kibble does not clean teeth. She explains how fresh food and biologically appropriate chewing play a far bigger role in preventing plaque and tartar.

Toni shares her top natural chew recommendations, including roasted bones, raw femur bones, antlers, bully sticks, sheep horns, coffee wood, yak chews, and more. She covers how abrasion-based chewing supports dental hygiene, reduces anxiety, and keeps pets occupied during busy gatherings.

She also touches on safe sourcing, choosing the right chews for your pet, and how gut health and fresh food contribute to better breath and overall oral wellness. Toni closes with practical tips for both dogs and cats—and a reminder to share the episode and leave a five-star review.
