INGREDIENT FAQs

Postbiotic

Q: What is a postbiotic, and why is it used?
A: Postbiotics are byproducts of fermentation that help support a healthy gut microbiome and promote digestive health, which is connected to immune and oral wellness. They can help maintain the natural balance of bacteria in your dog’s mouth and gut.

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (HMP)

Q: What does Sodium Hexametaphosphate do for my dog’s teeth?
A: HMP helps bind with minerals in your dog’s saliva to reduce plaque and tartar buildup, supporting cleaner teeth and fresher breath.

Parsley

Q: Why is parsley included?
A: Parsley is a natural source of chlorophyll and antioxidants. It helps freshen breath naturally and supports oral hygiene thanks to its deodorizing properties.

Natural Mint Flavor

Q: Does the mint actually help freshen breath?
A: Yes! The natural mint flavor enhances palatability while supporting fresh breath and a pleasant post-chew scent. It makes dental care more enjoyable for both pets and pet parents.

PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Q: Do these chews replace brushing my dog’s teeth?
A: While Fresh Breath Dental Sticks support oral health, they are not a replacement for regular veterinary dental care. They work best as part of a daily dental routine.

Q: Can I give these to my puppy?
A: These are formulated for adult dogs. Product stacking is not recommended for puppies.

Q: Can I give these with other Pet Honesty® products?
A: Yes—healthy adult dogs may take one Fresh Stick product in combination with Pet Honesty® Dental Powder. Do not combine multiple Fresh Stick products.
