Dental Bones for Dogs: A Healthy Choice for Oral Hygiene
Canine Oral Care Your Dog Will Love
Just as humans cherish a morning coffee, dogs revel in chewing on bones. This cherished activity is more than satisfaction – it’s the secret recipe for stellar dog dental health. Dental bones for dogs by Indigenous Pet come in many delicious flavors and are just the ticket for healthy teeth.
How Do Dental Bones for Dogs Support Dental Health?
Dental health bones for dogs from Indigenous Pet Products offer a simple way to support your dog’s everyday oral health. Made with sustainably harvested Ascophyllum nodosum sea kelp, our Dental Health Bones combine thoughtfully selected ingredients with a unique patented design made for chewing.
Regular chewing provides a mechanical cleaning action that helps remove plaque from the surface of the teeth, while the sea kelp provides additional support for oral wellness. As part of a consistent dental care routine, Indigenous Pet Dental Health Bones help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while giving your dog a treat they’ll look forward to each day.
How Do Dental Bones Help Reduce Plaque?
Indigenous Pet Dental Health Bones provide daily dental support through the natural action of chewing. Their unique patented design creates a mechanical cleaning action as your dog chews, helping scrape plaque from the surface of the teeth and supporting a cleaner, healthier mouth.
Our Dental Health Bones are also made with sustainably harvested Ascophyllum nodosum sea kelp. Research on this species of sea kelp suggests it can help support oral health and reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Together, the mechanical action of chewing and the inclusion of sea kelp provide a simple way to support your dog’s everyday oral wellness.
Naturally Sourced Sea Kelp
Sea kelp is one of the natural ingredients in Indigenous Pet Dental Health Bones. We use Ascophyllum nodosum, a species of brown seaweed harvested from the cold waters of the North Atlantic.
Naturally Occurring Nutrients
Sea kelp contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It’s one of the thoughtfully selected ingredients that make up our Dental Health Bones.
A Natural Source of Iodine
Sea kelp is naturally rich in iodine, an essential trace mineral. Our Dental Health Bones contain sea kelp as part of a carefully formulated blend of ingredients.
Simple, Natural Ingredients
Our Dental Health Bones combine sea kelp with ingredients including ancient grains, prebiotics and fish oil containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Together, they create a highly digestible dental treat designed for your dog’s everyday routine.
Tips for Introducing Dental Bones Into Your Dog's Routine
Adding Dental Health Bones to your dog’s routine is easy. Follow the recommended feeding guidelines for your dog’s size and always supervise your dog while chewing.
Introduce the Dental Bone Gradually
Allow your dog time to become accustomed to a new treat. Always supervise your dog while chewing and make sure the bone is appropriate for your dog’s size.
Make Dental Care Part of the Routine
Consistency can make at-home dental care easier to maintain. Follow the recommended feeding guidelines for your dog’s weight and talk with your veterinarian about an oral-care routine that’s appropriate for your dog.
Keep an Eye on Your Dog's Oral Health
Regularly check your dog’s teeth and gums, provide plenty of fresh water, and schedule routine veterinary dental checkups. Dental chews can be one part of an overall oral-care routine that may also include brushing and professional veterinary care.
FAQs
Dental bones work mainly through chewing: the bone’s shape and texture can help scrape plaque from tooth surfaces while your dog chews. Indigenous Pet dental bones have a ridged design intended to “brush” teeth during chewing. Even with effective chews, veterinary guidance still recommends brushing when possible and professional cleanings to address tartar and disease below the gumline.
Follow our feeding guidelines and your veterinarian’s advice. Indigenous Pet daily feeding amounts are based on weight (½ bone/day for 10–25 lbs; 1 bone/day for 25–100+ lbs). If your dog gains weight easily or has a sensitive stomach, your veterinarian may recommend adjusting the calories or frequency of treats.
Small breeds 10–25 lbs: ½ bone per day (the bone snaps in half). Mid- to large breeds (25–100+ lbs): 1 bone per day. They are not recommended for puppies under 6 months, dogs under 10 lbs, or dogs undergoing treatment for hyperthyroidism. Always supervise chewing.
Our dental bones are not recommended for dogs weighing less than 10 pounds, due to the risk of choking or obstruction and portion sizing. In general, smaller dogs are at higher risk of swallowing treats whole if the treat is too large or if they chew quickly, so sizing and supervision are essential.
No. Veterinary guidance consistently emphasizes that brushing is the most effective home method to reduce plaque, while tartar often requires professional scaling. Dental chews can help as an adjunct—especially for dogs that won’t tolerate brushing—but they should be part of a routine, not a complete replacement.
Some very hard chews can contribute to fractured teeth. Cornell Veterinary Guidance notes that fractured teeth are commonly caused by chewing very hard objects and recommends choosing safer chew textures, such as our dental health bones. Choose an appropriately sized chew, supervise chewing, and avoid giving overly hard items to aggressive chewers.
Match the dental health bone to your dog’s size and chewing style, supervise closely, and discard small end pieces that could be swallowed. The ASPCA emphasizes avoiding rapid consumption and discouraging swallowing large chunks, which can lead to choking or intestinal obstruction.
Yes. Our dental bones are made from natural, sustainably harvested organic sea kelp from the North Atlantic.
Our bones are not recommended for dogs undergoing treatment for hyperthyroidism, which is consistent with the broader need to be cautious with iodine-containing supplements in thyroid disease. If a dog has thyroid issues, the safest approach is to consult a veterinarian before introducing kelp-containing bones, chews, or toppers.

PERFECT BEFORE BED SNACK
My dog is a 30 lb terrier and I give her half a large bone before bed. They are easy to break. The chicken seems to be the softest of each flavor.
