Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste Poultry Flavor
Virbac's C.E.T. poultry-flavored toothpaste is the best-in-class choice for dog toothpaste because it combines a veterinary-formulated enzymatic system with high palatability, making daily brushing more effective and easier to administer than many consumer brands. It is often priced higher than mass-market options but offers stronger clinical backing and vet recommendation, so owners prioritizing measurable plaque and tartar control tend to prefer it over cheaper alternatives.

Benebone Dental Chews combine strong nylon construction with real flavoring and ergonomic shapes that encourage sustained gnawing and targeted cleaning action. They typically command a premium price versus basic chew sticks, but their flavor-driven engagement and owner-friendly shapes often mean dogs use them longer and more consistently, which can translate to better dental benefit per dollar than unflavored alternatives. In contrast to rigid nylabones, Benebone designs prioritize grip and palatability without sacrificing much durability.
