dental DELIGHTS
Dental treats serve as a convenient offering for pet
parents seeking to improve their pets' oral health.

With pet parents becoming hyper-aware of the importance
of their pet's health and wellness, many are purchasing
nutritional products that carry functional benefits.
From hip and joint health to allergy support and more,
consumers are deeply interested in ensuring their pet's
overall health, with many starting in their pets' mouths.
According to the American Veterinary Medical
Association, periodontal disease is the most common
dental condition in cats and dogs. By the time most of
these pets reach three years old, they will very likely
have some early evidence of the painful disease.
" Eighty percent of dogs over the age of three have
some form of gum disease, " detailed Joe Roetheli, chief
executive officer of Kansas City, Mo.-based Pet's Best
Life, parent company of Yummy Combs. " But only 20%
of these owners realize that their dogs are suffering in
pain and are on a path to more serious consequences, up
to and including premature death. "
Just like humans, oral health issues for pets don't just
stay in the mouth but can cause issues throughout other
parts of the body.
" The oral microbiome - the collection of microorganisms
that live in the mouth - not only affects the development
of dental disease, but also impacts the gut microbiome,
which is an essential part of the immune system,
digestion and even cognitive/brain health, " said Lindsey
Wendt, DVM, chief veterinary officer of San Franciscobased
Antelope Pets, parent company of Bocce's Bakery and
Ark Naturals. " Dental disease is linked to the development
of arthritis and even dementia/cognitive disease over time. "
Additionally, Wendt shared dental disease can shorten
a dog's lifespan by as much as 33% due to other health
issues caused by poor oral health in the long term. With
overall pet wellness starting in the mouth, pet parents
have turned to the functional benefits of dental treats.
Taking shape
Though treats offering dental benefits may represent a
niche area of the expansive pet treat category, pet parents
are seeking ways to better support their companions'
oral health, therefore leading many to dip their toes into
the dental segment. According to research from Mintel,
