Yumove, the joint supplement brand, has launched Dental Care Sticks - billed as "a uniquely effective, scientifically tested, new generation of daily dog dental care which will help support overall oral health in dogs of all ages". 

The company says the product improves oral health in three ways: cleaning teeth, freshening breath, and helping to reduce the formation of new plaque and tartar. 

The stick is spiral-shaped to maximise contact with the teeth.

As the dog chews, a soft centre is released, which targets the bacteria which causes bad breath and plaque.

Dental Care Sticks are available in three sizes. 

Jayne Laycock, Vet in Residence at Yumove said: “Poor dental health affects around 80% of the dog population and is the most commonly reported problem in primary care vet practices.

"We know that less than 50% of dog owners use a dental product as regularly as they should.

"Yumove Dental care sticks can be easily incorporated into a dog’s existing routine and have been developed to clean teeth, tackle bad breath and through our ActivBarrier technology, support the balance of bacteria in a dog’s mouth - helping to maintain healthy gums and teeth.” 

YuMOVE Dental Care Sticks start at £10.
