New dental sticks for dogs designed to boost oral hygiene

UK PET health brand OMNI has launched a new vet-developed dental stick designed to make daily oral care easier for owners and more enjoyable for dogs.

The new Dual-Texture Dental Sticks use the firm's 'PlaqBlast' technology: an eight-sided snowflake-shaped outer shell that helps scrape away plaque and tartar.

This is paired with a soft anti-plaque core designed to continue cleaning after chewing. The sticks also contain Ascophyllum nodosum, a seaweed ingredient commonly used in oral health products, alongside mint, parsley, and turmeric.

The dental sticks have been developed at a time of growing awareness around canine dental health, with vets increasingly warning that poor oral hygiene can contribute to wider health issues in dogs.

It is believed that while dog owners know they should brush their pet's teeth, very few actually manage to do it consistently.

Dr Guy Sandelowsky, veterinary surgeon and OMNI co-founder, said: "As a vet, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult daily brushing can be for dogs and their owners.

"We wanted to create something that helps support oral hygiene in a way dogs actually enjoy.”

Unlike many dental chews, the sticks are low-fat, hypoallergenic and free from animal protein, grain, soya and dairy, making them suitable for sensitive dogs and daily use.
