Durable nylon and safe edible chews should be a part of your puppy’s arsenal for good health, good teeth and pleasant breath. A vast majority of dogs three years and older has diseases of their gums from lack of dental attention. Using the various types of dental chews can be very effective in controlling dental plaque.
