the tripett has digestive enzyme and gastric acid that will actually clean the teeth. if u do some research u will find out that it is myth about dry food keeping the teeth clean; it's not true. wet food has more moisture so it will keep ur dog from dehydrating. ur dog's stomach needs to work harder to digest the dry food. u can try the ziwipeak which is dry and has the consistency of beef jerkey. brushing the teeth daily will keep the teeth clean; so no need for dental chews as they are very hard to digest and can cause digestive problems and blockage. i used to give them all the time to my dog until my dog developped IBD; after thousands of dollars no more treats or chews; just the ziwipeak and trippett and i give the ziwipeak as a treat; she goes crazy for them. good luck
