Bell & Bone Dental Sticks are a daily dental chew for small adult dogs, made in Melbourne with chicken, mint and seaweed. The small-dog format suits dogs up to around 10kg and puppies over six months. One stick a day is designed to work into a normal routine rather than sit in the treat jar as an occasional extra.

The recipe is grain-free and built around active ingredients that target plaque and tartar build-up, with seaweed and mint doing the work on breath. Chicken is the lead flavour, which tends to land well with fussier small breeds. Texture is firm enough to give the teeth something to work against as the dog chews, which is where the mechanical cleaning happens.

Small-dog owners tend to reach for these when brushing isn't realistic and they want something that fits a daily routine. The Australian-made credentials and short ingredient list also appeal to owners who read the back of the pack before the front.
