| Well, it is chopped up rawhide which is a very low quality protein. They also put several other less than healthy ingredients like sugar and salt. Not good for the long term health of your dog. Dingo Munchy Stixs 5" 10-PACK (3.1 oz) |

| I looked at Dingo products in the grocery store and they either did not state on the package where they were made or are made in China. For those companies that do not have that info on the package, I assume that it is made in China, so not worth the risk to me.

| There are all natural chews like bully sticks but if you really want to keep your dog's teeth clean you might want to try one of the enzymatic water additives. It's about the easiest way to keep plaque from forming on the teeth. Amazon.com: Biotene Drinking Water Additive -- 4... |

| Be very careful with dental chews. Products like Greenies have been reported to cause intestinal blockages in small dogs (and a few large dogs).

| Does he know how important brushing teeth can be? It can lead to heart disease and a whole lot of other bad things. Not brushing will more then likely end up with her having to have teeth pulled every couple of years. Would not suggest you go this route because it is not real fair to her.
