What are safe dental chews for my dog's teeth, not bones or rawhide?

Question

What type of bones are recommended to keep dog's teeth healthy and clean? What are your thoughts on rawhide? My small dog will any brand bone without a problem but my big dog will swallow big pieces and ends up eating them in 3 seconds.

I don't recommend giving bones to dogs. They can break teeth when dogs chew on them, and if the dog swallows a big enough piece, it can cause a GI obstruction. I'm also not a fan of rawhide, and don't recommend them. If you want something to help with their teeth, I recommend dental chews. CET is a good brand of dental chews that are safe for them to chew on. You can also give them Hill's t/d as a treat. It's a dental food. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
