WORST Dental Treats?!😱 Why I tossed these, & what I use instead!

My favorite chews for dental and mental health:

No hate to any specific brand. Every dog (and pet parent) is different. These are just my own opinions, and I share these to spark questions for you to research. As pet parents, if we collectively look past marketing claims and start asking the hard questions, we will start to see better options.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!

I have a 7 yo YorkiePoo (11 lbs) and have always given her Bully Stick to chew on - nothing else (!) because of the fact that they ARE natural! As natural as they are, they are BAD for dogs teeth! My dog ended up fracturing a molar and a premolar overtime from chewing on them! Vet said they see a lot of fractured teeth in dogs from chewing Bully Sticks! While some dogs probably go on with their lives not having any issues chewing on them, most pet parents aren't even aware that their dogs may have fractured a tooth or two! Dental issues on dogs are NOT easy to detect because dogs STILL eat regardless of the pain. (Even with a broken jaw, a dog will STILL eat), so pet parents will assume there's no dental issues because their dog is still eating and chews on things. My dog had abcess where the fractured teeth were and we had no idea how long she had them BECAUSE she continued to eat and chew! Not too sure about the other recommendations, but Bully Stick in my book is a No No! They should ban those!

I'm so thankful that we have this kind of information so that I don't get fooled into thinking I'm doing the best for my dog when it's actually hurting him

I’m so thrilled to share that I will be getting my first cavapoo pup soon! Thank you so much @RachelFusaro for your channel! The information you share is invaluable in helping me navigate the dog food industry, training tips and ideas and overall doggie health. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wishing you and your pack a one! 😊💕✨

I LOVE how you’re actively educating/spreading awareness about topics like these! Your videos make me so happy because I can tell that you film with a genuine passion <3

I enjoyed watching your video, but my dog will try to attack if I try to brush his teeth. Will the dental treat solve my problem??

[annecookie]

was just wondering about this. this video is so timely! Thank you!! 🥰

[TheYouthquaker]

Orovet is hands down the BEST. I also give my dog the Ark Naturals because it helps keep her regular.

[annapresleyvlogs]

Hey Rachel, live this video thank you for teaching me how to clean my dogs teeth without unnecessary ingredients 😁 could you do a video on how to train your stubborn dog to not stop all the time on walks and how to get your dog to like their harness?? That would be super helpful 😊

Thanks, I'll probably watch this a few more time before I make a purchase.

Hey Rachel! Thank you so much for sharing this. We love the native pet yak chews too! I notice the yellow yak chew holder(?) Finn was holding. What is that? We definitely need to get that. Holding the yak chew directly with the paws hurts my pup a bit and causes some discomfort. This holder looks like a great option.

Thank you so much for telling me this because we have been giving my dog the green chews

[little_miss_vintage]

My dogs both absolutely refuse to let me brush their teeth. I’ve watched so many videos on this and nothing works😭 feel I have to rely on these chews

[starletta]

Thanks so much for your information..I was online looking for a nontoxic chew for my dogs and couldn’t find anything I was comfortable purchasing for my dogs. Then I thought I’d just go on YouTube and your video popped up. Grateful !

[godlliza]

Please be careful with yak chews! my dog has a habit of not chewing and does swallow pretty big pieces whole. She swallowed the last piece of her yak chew and caused a major indiscretion in her intestine. Really thought she had an obstruction as she had one before that time. Fortunately, she pooped out the piece, but I will never give her that again.

I know that oyster shell calcium can cause kidney stones in humans, dogs ?

[jennabowling]

I want to Try to yakchews but our pup got sick with native pets daily supplement powder so not sure if I should give them a try or not..

I have been using your DIY toothpaste for awhile now and all 3 of my dogs love it. Their breathe smells so much better and it’s helping remove some of the tarter from their teeth. (It takes time) Can’t wait to try some more ideas from this video. Thank you❤️

[jazminereed-clark]

I've been a LONG TIME fan, Rachel! It's cool to see the channel evolve, and I love the more research-focused videos I've seen lately. Thank you for always making thoughtful content!

[novsnosyas]

Thank you for posting this video! It came when I needed it. I'm looking for the best dental chew for my pup. Now I know what to buy and not to buy.
