Did You Know? Dogs Have Surprisingly Thin Tooth Enamel

Many people assume dogs have tougher teeth than humans. Surprisingly, their enamel is much thinner.

Why?

Dogs evolved to grab, tear and swallow food, not grind it like humans. Instead of thick enamel, their teeth rely on strong dentin underneath for support.

This means chewing the wrong items, like bones, antlers or hooves, can increase the risk of painful tooth fractures.

Training takeaway: Dental chews should clean teeth without being too hard.

That's why Whimzees are made from a vegetable-based recipe that is firm enough to help remove plaque, yet softens as dogs chew. Their unique shapes and grooves help clean teeth while remaining gentle on enamel.
