Yakers: 100% Natural Chews Contribute to Good Dental Health for Dogs

In the world of pet care, dental health is often an overlooked aspect. Yet, it's one of the most crucial elements of a dog's overall wellbeing. Dental chews have emerged as an essential tool for maintaining canine oral health, and among the many options available, YAKERS the 100% Natural Dog Chew & Occupier stand out as a superior choice. These chews not only promote dental hygiene but also cater to a dog's natural instinct to chew, making them an indispensable item for pet parents. 

Why Dental Chews are Beneficial

Dental chews serve multiple purposes, all contributing to the dental and overall health of dogs. Here’s a closer look at why they are so beneficial: 

1. Mechanical Cleaning: The act of chewing helps to mechanically remove plaque and tartar from a dog's teeth. The abrasive texture of chews like YAKERS aids in scrubbing away these deposits, much like how brushing works for humans. This can significantly reduce the risk of dental diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. 
2. Ingredient Benefits: High-quality dental chews are made from ingredients that not only promote dental health but are also safe for consumption. YAKERS chews, for instance, are crafted from 100% natural ingredients – specifically milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. These ingredients are not only nutritious but also provide an extra long-lasting chewing experience.
3. Texture and Durability: The hardness of YAKERS chews ensures they last longer than many other dental treats. This durability is key to effectively removing plaque and providing the necessary chewing satisfaction. The chews are designed to soften slightly as the dog chews, making them safer while still performing their cleaning function.
4. Natural Instinct to Chew: Dogs have a natural instinct to chew, chewing helps to relieve stress, prevent boredom, and can even curb destructive chewing behaviours. By providing a YAKERS occupier chew, owners are fulfilling this instinctual need in a healthy and productive way.

To illustrate these benefits, let’s break down a YAKERS chew:

• Ingredients: The chew is composed of Himalayan milk, which is rich in protein and essential nutrients. The addition of lime juice and salt helps to harden the chew naturally without the need for artificial additives. Plus, YAKERS offer a range of added natural ingredients including strawberries.
• Texture: The hard texture is ideal for removing plaque and tartar. As the dog chews, the surface gradually becomes softer, ensuring it is safe for prolonged chewing sessions.
• Durability: These chews are extra long-lasting, providing hours of chewing pleasure while continuously working to clean a dog’s teeth.

Usage and Replacement

For optimal dental health benefits, it is recommended that dogs chew on dental treats regularly. Here are some guidelines for pet parents:

1. Frequency: Offering a YAKERS chew 2-3 times a week can significantly improve dental hygiene. For dogs with more severe dental issues, daily chewing might be beneficial.
2. Replacement: As durable as YAKERS chews are, they should be replaced once they become small enough to pose a choking hazard. Typically, a chew can last several weeks to a month depending on the dog’s chewing intensity. The small part of the chew isn’t wasted however, with YAKERS, pet parents can microwave the small end piece for 30-60 seconds. It then puffs up to become a crunchy treat for dogs.
3. Monitoring: Owners should always supervise their dogs during chew time to ensure safety, especially when introducing a new type of chew.
