If you do give these to your dog,i have found the ingredients list for these "so called teeth cleaners"!
If i were you,i would stop giving them!
Rice flour (Minus 1 point): Cheap filler, causes bowel distress and can lead to diabetes in dogs.
Wheat starch (Minus 1 point): Poor carbohydrate source causes allergies.
Glycerin (Minus 1 point): Sweetens food, used as humectant (keeps food moist), interferes with nutrient assimilation.
Calcium carbonate (Plus 1 point): Standard source of calcium, promotes strong bones, teeth, cardiovascular health and skeletal strength, used as a buffer to acidic foods.
Gelatin (Minus 1 point): Filler / binder in can food.
Gum arabic (Minus 1 point): Cheap filler/binder used in can foods.
Cellulose Powder (Minus 1 point): Suspected to include recycled cardboard.
Natural poultry flavor (Minus 1 point): Poor quality of flavor additive.
Sodium tripolyphosphate (Minus 1 point): Used as rancid meat preservative.
Salt (Minus 1 point): Used to cover up rancid meat and fat, can cause kidney and heart disease, hypertension -- used to encourage cats to drink, source of sodium chloride.
Not so nice are they?
You could maybe try one of these
