The Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Natural Dog Finger Brush emphasizes durable, pet-safe materials and textured surfaces to remove plaque while being gentle on gums, aiming at owners who want a natural-feeling finger brush alternative. It shares the accessibility and low cost of other finger-style brushes like Petrodex but differentiates itself with stronger materials and a focus on long-term wear, while offering less comprehensive coverage than multi-headed or 360° toothbrushes.

Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste holds the top spot for dog dental toothpastes and gels because it is a veterinary-formulated enzymatic paste widely recommended by vets for effective plaque control and long-standing clinical use. Compared with the other products on this list it emphasizes a clinically tested enzyme system and professional endorsement, which can justify a higher price for owners prioritizing proven dental outcomes over budget or natural-ingredient claims.

Arm & Hammer Fresh Breath Dental Water Additive
Arm & Hammer Fresh Breath Dental Water Additive leverages the brand’s baking soda heritage to deliver strong odor-neutralizing performance at a mass-market price, making it an economical pick for households focused primarily on halitosis control. While it may not have the enzyme or clinical-level antimicrobial claims of Oxyfresh or the botanical emphasis of Bluestem, its wide distribution and low cost make it a practical daily-use option compared to pricier specialty additives.

Whimzees Brushzees are vegetable-based, highly textured chews designed to provide long mechanical abrasion with a natural-ingredient positioning that appeals to eco- and ingredient-conscious buyers. They compete with VeggieDent on plant-based credentials but differentiate by unique toothbrush-like shapes and a perception of being more natural than mass-market edible chews like Greenies, often commanding a modest premium for ingredient sourcing and branding. For the dental chews use case, Whimzees is a go-to for owners seeking lower-allergen, plant-derived options with strong mechanical cleaning action.
