[header] How to choose tartar control dog treats [title] Provide your dog with chewable toys. [step] Giving your dog a durable chew toy can mechanically remove plaque buildup on your dog's teeth and massage your dog's gums. As the dog chews, the friction between the teeth and the toy can remove plaque and stimulate saliva production and will help whisk away any plaque buildup. 
These toys will also help keep your dog entertained and will exercise the dog's jaw. Nylon or hard rubber chew toys are safe options and are recommended for their durability.
