London-based Waita Pets is celebrating Pet Dental Health Awareness Month by introducing a range of freeze-dried treats that will help to support the dental care of cats and dogs.

Looking after your dog or cat’s teeth is essential for their overall health, as dental disease can lead to pain, infections, and even organ damage. Pet Dental Health Month is an opportunity to give advice to pet parents by giving them a number of practical steps that they can take to care for their pet companions’ teeth.

The benefits of feeding certain freeze-dried treats that contain bones and cartilage are that the rough, chewy, and dried texture scrapes against a pet's teeth as they chew. This mechanical action helps to remove plaque and reduce tartar buildup, promoting cleaner teeth and healthier gums. The action of chewing on these tough treats increases saliva flow, which acts as a natural cleanser that breaks down food particles and reduces bacterial growth in the mouth. Regular chewing can prevent gum inflammation and reduce the risk of periodontal disease. With freeze-dried treats there is also no risk of splintering which can happen with cooked. raw or air-dried bones.

Waita’s range includes:

• Waita Freeze-Dried Chicken Cartilage is made from 100% premium chicken cartilage, gently freeze-dried to preserve its natural nutrients and functional benefits. Naturally rich in collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin, this joint-supporting superfood helps maintain mobility, flexibility, and long-term bone health.
• Waita Freeze-Dried Chicken Neck is made from 100% pure, whole chicken necks, gently freeze-dried to preserve their natural nutrients and crunchy texture. A rich source of natural glucosamine, chondroitin, and high-quality protein, this functional chew supports joint health, muscle maintenance, and dental hygiene.
• Waita Freeze-Dried Pigeon Neck is a 100% single ingredient made from whole pigeon neck, including soft bone and cartilage. This novel protein is a natural source of calcium, phosphorus, and collagen, which support strong bones, joint health, and dental hygiene.
• Waita Freeze-Dried Goose Trachea is made from 100% goose trachea, a natural chew loaded with collagen and chondroitin to support joint health, cartilage repair, and skin elasticity. Its hollow, slightly crunchy texture also helps promote dental cleaning through chewing.
