Pedigree Dentastix Fresh Flavor

Words · Craig & Sammy · ASIN B01MRXAYR5 · Filed under  Dental Chews

“Sammy's been through a bag of these in about three weeks. Breath noticeably fresher, and he actually asks for them by the time 4 p.m. rolls around. Reordering.”

Dental health is one of the most common concerns for Yorkie parents, and these Dentastix are specifically sized for toy and small breed dogs like your Yorkshire Terrier. The fresh flavor helps combat bad breath while the unique X-shape design works to clean down to the gumline with every chew. Yorkies are particularly prone to dental issues due to their small mouths and crowded teeth, making daily dental care essential. These treats are clinically proven to reduce tartar buildup when used as part of a regular dental routine. The small size is perfect for your Yorkie's tiny mouth, allowing them to comfortably chew and enjoy the treat.

With 102 treats in this bag, you will have over three months of daily dental care for your pup. Many Yorkie owners use these as a special daily reward that doubles as dental maintenance. The fresh flavor leaves your Yorkie's breath smelling better, making those close cuddle sessions more pleasant. If your Yorkie resists having their teeth brushed, these treats offer an enjoyable alternative for maintaining dental hygiene.

What owners say

From the reviews.

Strong product with a 4.7 rating and overwhelming positive sentiment across all themes. Dog preference is near-universal (277/286 positive), and both breath and dental benefits are consistently reported. Value is competitive. The main caveats are individual taste variation (21 scent negatives), longevity (they disappear fast), and suitability for dogs with already-compromised teeth. Otherwise, owners reorder regularly.

Customer questions

Things people ask.

Q01. Will these actually help my dog's teeth stay clean? +

Yes, based on 186 of 193 dental health mentions. Owners report visible tartar reduction and cleaner teeth, especially when paired with regular brushing. A vet in one review confirmed an 11-year-old dog's teeth were in great shape.

Q02. Are they suitable for Yorkies and toy breeds? +

Yes. The bag is specifically sized for small and toy breeds, and reviews mention Yorkies, Pomeranians, Shorties, and Chiorkies eating them without issue. They're small enough for toy mouths.

Q03. How long does a 102-count bag last? +

Varies by how often you feed them, but one-per-day dosing is common. One reviewer notes Sammy-type dogs can polish through a whole bag in a few weeks if given access, and they don't last long once chewing starts.

Q04. Do they really freshen breath? +

Overwhelmingly yes — 177 of 183 breath mentions are positive. The mint flavour is noted as especially effective. One owner reported the difference was noticeable enough that their dog's breath no longer smelled when licking.

Q05. Could these damage my older dog's teeth? +

Possibly, if your dog has fragile or already-loose teeth. 16 of 66 chewability mentions warn they can be harder than expected for senior dogs, and one owner reported teeth loosening. Not recommended for dogs with pre-existing dental fragility.
