I think that it's safe to assume that you all know how much I love my furry friends. My dogs - all three of them - are a part of our family and are pretty spoiled! Having a pet is a lifelong commitment and I've made that pledge seven times with three dogs and four cats. While dogs are a lot of fun and bring a ton of love into our home, they require not just attention, but regular grooming and have medical needs just like people do!
Bailey and Toby are Shetland Sheepdogs, a breed that is known for their dental issues. This is something I knew through my research before deciding on the breed, so I knew that they require regular teeth brushing and more frequent dental cleanings by the vet than most breeds. Bailey has even had to go on antibiotics for gingivitis once! I'm sure there's a rare dog out there that loves getting their teeth brushed, but most hate the process. I honestly can't blame them - who likes going to the dentist? It's annoying and uncomfortable, but it's a necessary part of life. While my dogs despise the toothbrush, they love eating treats - and that’s where Milk-Bone Brushing Chews come in so handy! Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Lunchbox. All opinions are my own.
Milk-Bone Brushing Chews have been clinically proven as effective as brushing. This makes it an easy and effective way to help take care of my dog's teeth. Given daily, these dental treats reduce tartar and plaque build-up with numbs and ridges that clean like toothbrush bristles. So much so that Milk-Bone Brushing Chews were awarded the prestigious Veterinary Oral Health Council (VHOC) Seal of Acceptance as an effective way to help reduce tartar build-up when fed daily. They have been designed with a unique patent pending 75 degree twist that reach back teeth and down to the gumline.
I feel great about giving my dogs Milk-Bone Brushing Chews not only because they help clean their teeth, but also because they are fortified with 12 essential vitamins and minerals. They are rich in calcium which promotes strong bones and teeth. An added bonus is that these chews reduce bad breath, too. I know dog owners will understand the need to tackle that issue.
The dental twists are chicken flavored so the dogs are very excited when it's time to have a treat! So excited that they are just a blur as they jump up and do a trick for one!
And of course, I'm excited that they are so beneficial. An easy way to remember when to give your dogs their dental twists, when you brush - they brush! Toss them a treat as you brush your teeth morning and evening.
I'm sure your dogs will remind you though if you forget. Foxy, Bailey and Toby all know where I keep their Milk-Bone Brushing Chews and will go to the drawer and sniff around, walk back to me and howl or bark, then go back to the drawer. They don't let me forget!
Milk-Bone Brushing Chews come in two sizes: mini for dogs 5-24 lbs and small/medium for dogs 25-74 lbs. They come in boxes with a unique, click-to-close box - 14.14 oz size - and a re-sealable inner bag which maintains freshness and brushing power.
