Powered by nature’s most powerful antioxidant: Astaxanthin! Astaxanthin stops plaque and tartar before it can even start by boosting the antibody immunoglobulin A (lgA) in the saliva, therefore creating a protective barrier on teeth! Our unique 5-in-1 dental chews have a toothpaste center with active ingredients and natural breath fresheners such as cinnamon, clove and vanilla. Our dental chews also support gums with antioxidant power and form a protective barrier to support healthy teeth. Review: Mini size my Chihuahua loves, fresher breath and tartar holding steady - Size/Bag: Mini, 4 oz Dog: 5-lb Chihuahua Routine: 1 chew nightly as a bedtime treat I started these as a nightly “brushless” treat and my Chihuahua looks forward to them. The mini size is perfect for a tiny jaw, he actually chews them instead of gulping. After making this part of our routine, his breath is noticeably fresher. At our last vet visit, I was told his tartar hasn’t gotten any worse since the prior appointment, which lines up with what I’m seeing. Pros Toy-breed friendly size; easy to chew My dog loves the taste (no coaxing needed) Breath smells better within our nightly routine Vet noted no new tartar progression since starting Cons / Watch-outs These are an adjunct, not a replacement for brushing or pro cleanings They need to be chewed to work, if your dog is a gulper, supervise or hold one end At one per day, a 4-oz bag can go quickly Bottom line: As a daily, low-effort add-on, these have been a win: my Chihuahua enjoys them, his breath is better, and tartar has held steady between checkups. I’ll keep them in our bedtime routine and update if anything changes. Review: ARK NATURALS Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste - My dog Milo has been using the ARK NATURALS Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste for Mini Breeds since he was a pup, and it’s been a fantastic addition to his daily routine for the past five years.

The chews are not only effective at keeping his teeth clean and fresh but also seem to genuinely enjoy the taste. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in his dental health, and they’ve helped reduce tartar buildup over the years. The 4oz bag is convenient and lasts quite a while, making it a great value.

But our little senior Morkie likes them. However, she only has about 6 teeth left. She had bad periodontal disease when we got her. Since then she gets a cleaning every 6 months to ensure she gets to keep the ones she's got left. She WILL NOT allow us in her mouth with a tooth brush or a finger brush. She doesn't like the taste of doggie toothpaste, so we decided to try these. She wants to eat it, but they are SO very hard, and big for her mouth. She wants me to cut it up for her. And I worry she could break a tooth. If I cut it in fourths she will just swallow it whole because it's that hard. I think these are not great for little dogs without all their teeth, or teeth that aren't strong ones. But for younger, medium and bigger sized dogs with bigger mouths they would probably be perfect. Again, how can we even know there is anything more to these pieces to clean other than biting through their hardness, is a mystery to me. ## Frequently Bought Together - ARK NATURALS Protection Plus Brushless Toothpaste for Mini Breeds, 4 oz Bag, Dog Dental Chew with Toothpaste Center, Prevents Plaque & Tartar, Freshens Breath - ARK NATURALS Breath Bursts Brushless Toothpaste Dog Treats, Dog Dental Bits for Small Breeds, Unique Texture Helps Clean Teeth & Freshen Breath, Peppermint, 4 oz, 1 Pack - Ark Naturals Soft Brushless Toothpaste, Dog Dental Chews for Small Breeds, Freshens Breath, Unique Texture Helps Reduce Plaque & Tartar, 12oz, 1 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/303674701-ark-naturals-protection-plus-brushless-toothpaste-for-mini-breeds-4](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/303674701-ark-naturals-protection-plus-brushless-toothpaste-for-mini-breeds-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
