Dental dog chews are a great supplement to a complete dental health program. But they should not be the sole part of taking care of your dog's teeth.

Things to consider: Complete dental health, what kind of chews are best, and trying something new.

Chew AND Brush - Dental dog chews are only part of dog dental care. Feeding your dog chews and bones should not be used as a replacement for brushing their teeth and gums regularly, but as a supplement.

Choose Chews Carefully - Some veterinarians recommend that if you are going to feed your dog bones at all then you should only feed him dental dog chews, other safety-minded commercial dog chews and bones like Nylabones, citing that forceful chewing can fracture teeth, and the dog can swallow the broken fragments.

Rope Bones - For a change of pace from your dog's usual selection of dog chews and bones, try giving him rope bones. They are just what they sound like -- bones made of rope, thick pieces braided together. The cotton fibers of rope bones act like the bristles of toothbrushes. Some rope bones even contain ingredients like baking soda and fluorides. They make some of the best dental dog chews.
