As pet parents, we want our four-legged besties to live their best lives—starting with fresh breath and clean teeth. Minties® stop bad breath with their 5 natural breath fresheners: alfalfa, peppermint, parsley, fennel, and dill. While your pup chomps away, the bone’s vet-inspired bumpy surface scrapes away plaque and tartar. Want those smelly kisses to be a little sweeter? Treat your dog with a dental bone every day for super easy oral care. Even the pickiest of pups want a delicious bone! Minties® range in sizes, so from tiny toy terriers to large labs, every dog can enjoy a refreshing treat. The moment you open the bag, you’re hit with marvelous minty freshness!
Each of the natural breath fresheners in Minties® helps to tackle bad breath head-on!
- Alfalfa - Alfalfa is an incredible herb because of its smell-stopping chlorophyll, starting off Minties® as an irresistible breath freshening bone for your bestie.
- Have you ever left a restaurant and grabbed a mint on the way out? Peppermint tastes good, and it makes your breath fresher! A 2022 study found that dogs may actually like the smell of mint, too!
- It’s not just a garnish for human food. In fact, parsley’s powerful herbal flavor makes it a brilliant breath freshener.
- On the other paw, fennel is known for its remarkable licorice-like flavor, a tasty treat adored by humans and dogs alike.
- According to the Herb Society of America, dill has a proven record—it’s been used as a stinky breath eliminator since Ancient Egypt!
So, how do we make sure we’re giving our dogs yummy treats that they’ll love without us second guessing what’s in them? Luckily, the ingredients in Minties® aren’t the only thing that makes them stand out—it’s also what we don’t include!
Food allergies in pets are becoming more common, according to Dr. Barbara Feinstein, a veterinarian and partner with the Cat and Dog Hospital of Columbia. Many dog treats have extras like wheat, corn, soy, and added sugars and salts, which are common culprits for allergies and tummy troubles. To avoid some fuss for our furry friends, Minties® leave these out so pups with sensitivities can still enjoy fresh breath and clean teeth between meals and brushings.
