[nagdu] Dental bones

[Deanna Lewis]

Tami,
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I will ask anyways... LOL
How does the powder help? Does it kind of scrub their teeth when the eat it? Does it also freshen breath? I'm just trying to understand how cheese can help with dental health. Thanks!
Deanna

Dar,

I ended up ordering from the website, since it's hard to find over here.

It is a powder that you sprinkle over the food. You can also use a spoon if you want to measure it better. I'm lazy, so do so many shakes and go with that. /smile/

hth,

Tami
