When paired and taken as a supplement, calcium and phosphorous has proven effective at strengthening teeth and bones. As an ingredient in holistic dental treats, it helps prevent further dental injury and degradation of bone tissue.

Whole food ingredients, such as oats, brown rice and flax seed meal and other whole grains, add many dietary and health benefits to an animal’s diet.
