What dental treats actually work for decreasing plaque and tartar in my pet’s mouth?

If you are trying to improve the quality of your pet’s mouth, skip the bone shaped box of treats.  Studies have been done to show that both rawhide chews and Greenies can reduce plaque and tartar on your dog’s teeth.  There are some treats specifically designed for cats as well, if they are so inclined to oblige you with a trial.  For a list of pet dental products that have been shown to reduce plaque and tartar visit www.vohc.org and look for their stamp of approval on dental home care products. Additionally, visit your local veterinary office for more tips on oral care in dogs and cats.
