Overview
["These veggie dental chews are built around Vetradent's patented Biotrate technology, a porous texture meant to clean along the gumline as your dog chews. The active ingredients, Disodium EDTA, Trisodium Citrate, and Citric Acid, are chosen specifically for plaque and tartar control rather than flavor, and the chew itself is unflavored.", "The product is a plant based formula recommended for small breeds specifically, so it's sized and marketed toward smaller dogs rather than as a one size fits all chew. The label focuses tightly on dental care, without the broader wellness claims some competing chews include.", 'At $26.60, this sits toward the higher end for a small breed dental chew. With 73 reviews and a 4.0 star average, plus about 100 bought last month, it has a reasonable track record, though the rating is a touch lower than some competing options in this set.']

Performance notes
The porous texture from Vetradent's Biotrate technology is the main mechanism here, designed to work into tight spaces along the gumline rather than just the flat surfaces of the tooth. Disodium EDTA, Trisodium Citrate, and Citric Acid are all included specifically for their role in breaking down tartar and plaque, which explains why the chew itself carries no added flavor.
What buyers say
A 4.0 star average across 73 reviews, with about 100 bought last month, suggests a chew that generally works as intended but leaves a bit more room for disappointment than the higher rated options in this lineup.
What makes this chew different from a typical dental treat?
It uses Vetradent's patented Biotrate technology, a porous texture combined with plaque and tartar targeting ingredients like Disodium EDTA and Trisodium Citrate, rather than relying only on chewing action.
Is this chew flavored?
No, it's labeled as unflavored, since the formula is built around active dental ingredients rather than taste.
Can I give this to a medium or large dog?
It's specifically recommended for small breeds, so it isn't sized or marketed for medium or large dogs.
