DentaCore Dental Sticks
MECHANICAL CLEANING · THREE SIZES
DentaCore Dental Sticks
A textured, firm-bite chew built to make the dog work at it. Longer chewing means more saliva and more contact with the tooth. One a day.

The mechanical half
Where a powder works through saliva, this scrapes.
A once-a-day chew with a textured surface and a firm bite, designed to make the dog work at it.
How it works
Texture, bite and time — not declared actives
Physically disrupts soft plaque along the gum line.
Extends chewing time, which is what drives saliva flow.
Gentle cleaning action without abrasive grit.
One stick, once a day — matched to the dog rather than guessed from a bulk bag.
A chew, not a dosed supplement.
The work here is done by texture, bite resistance and chewing time. We are not going to print a milligram table to make it look like something it is not.
No added sugar, artificial colours or artificial flavouring. Calorie-dense — count it as part of the daily ration for a dog on a weight plan.
Side by side
Against a typical dental stick
| Typical dental stick | DentaCore Sticks | |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | Smooth extruded chew | Textured surface, firm bite |
| Chew time | Gone in thirty seconds | Built to make the dog work |
| Portion | Guesswork from a bulk bag | Single portion, sized to the dog |
| Filler | Corn and wheat starch | Plant fibre matrix |
| Sugar and flavouring | Commonly added | Neither |
A chew that disappears in two bites has fed a treat, not cleaned a tooth.
What a dental stick can and cannot do
Four things to be straight about before you buy one.
Size matters more than owners expect
An undersized stick gets swallowed in two bites and does nothing at all. Size up rather than down if your dog is between weights. If they still bolt it, the sticks are not right for that dog and the powder is the better route.
It cleans the teeth the dog chews with, and no others
Typically not the canines or the very back of the mouth — which is where tartar collects fastest. This is exactly the gap the powder covers, and the reason most owners end up using both.
It does not remove existing tartar
Nor treat gum disease, nor replace a scale and polish under anaesthetic. It slows down what forms next.
Daily is the dose
Three times a week is a treat, not a dental routine. Always supervise chewing, keep fresh water available, and do not give it to a dog with a damaged or loose tooth.
Daily directions
One stick a day, after a meal
Always supervise your dog while they chew, and keep fresh water available. Size up rather than down if your dog is between weights.
- Under 25 lb Small stick, one daily after a meal.
- 25 to 55 lb Medium stick, one daily after a meal.
- Over 55 lb Large stick, one daily after a meal.
- Not for puppies Dogs over six months only — adult teeth are still coming through before that.
Day to day
Where this shows up in everyday life
As it does with anything that increases saliva flow.
Weeks two to six, on the teeth the dog actually chews with.
Unlike brushing, nobody has to be held still. It is the easiest habit in dental care to keep.
No estimating from a bulk bag, and no stick too small to work.
Mechanical where the dog chews, systemic everywhere else. Together they cover the mouth.
The honest version
What to expect, and when
As it does with anything that increases saliva flow.
Along the gum line, on the teeth the dog actually chews with.
The cumulative effect between professional cleanings.
Daily is the dose. Three times a week is a treat, not a dental routine.
No risk to you
Give it 90 days. Then decide.
If your dog is no better, email us and we refund the order — opened tub included, nothing to ship back.
Quality you can check
No corn, wheat or soy starch filler.
No sugar, artificial colours or artificial flavouring.
So the chew is matched to the dog.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
Sticks or the powder?
Both, ideally. The powder works through saliva and reaches every tooth; the sticks clean mechanically where the dog chews. Neither covers what the other does.
My dog swallows it whole.
Go up a size. If they still bolt it, the sticks are not right for that dog and the powder is the better route.
Is it safe for puppies?
Not for dogs under six months, whose adult teeth are still coming through.
Does it count as food?
Calorie-dense — count it as part of the daily ration for a dog on a weight plan. Not a complete food.
When should I stop?
If you see any bleeding, or if your dog has a damaged or loose tooth. That is a dental exam, not a chew.
How long does a pack last?
28 sticks — four weeks at one a day.
For dogs only, over six months of age. Always supervise chewing and provide access to fresh water. Not a complete food — feed as a supplement to a balanced diet. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
