OraVet Hygiene Dental Chews for Large & Giant Dogs, over 50-lbs, 14 count

Editor's note

Selecting a chew by jaw size is the guide's safety rule, and this is the size for a dog over 50 pounds. A large dog given a small chew can swallow it whole, which is a choking and blockage risk. A large breed also needs enough density that the chew survives long enough to scrape anything. The listing describes delmopinol, which forms a barrier against the bacteria behind plaque, tartar and bad breath.

Look for the VOHC seal on the packaging before you buy, for plaque control, tartar control or both. That seal is the guide's filter between a treat and a dental product.

Then count the calories. The guide's ceiling for treats is 10 percent of the day's total, and a dental chew is not a free snack. It supplements brushing. It does not replace it.
