For best results, feed Checkups as a dental treat every day. Using the Feeding Guidelines below, feed the appropriate amount of Checkups for your dog's weight 1-2 times daily as a dental treat. Checkups are not intended to be a complete and balanced food source and should not constitute more than 25% of your dog's diet. As with any treat, always offer water after feeding.
To soften Checkups for your pet or to aid in dividing, simply wrap in a moistened paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds. Monitor your dog to ensure Checkups is adequately chewed because gulping any edible product can be harmful or even fatal. We do not recommend Checkups for puppies less than 6 months of age or adult dogs weighing less than 20 pounds.
This feeding guide provides a starting point for the amount of food to give your dog each day. We recommend that you keep your dog in ideal body condition and not allow them to become overweight. The amount of food your dog needs can vary based on age, activity level or other food and treats given, so be sure to work with your veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight for your dog, and to make any necessary adjustments to their feeding.
Additional Features & Benefits

- Reduces plaque by 25% and tartar by 62% - Plaque forms quickly on teeth and hardens into tartar slowly with accumulation, leading to dental disease. In a clinical research study, Checkups dental treats were fed to dogs one time per day after their meal and proven to reduce plaque by 25% and tartar by 62%. Although not as effective as twice daily brushing, feeding your dog Checkups is a much easier way to improve dental health.
- Helps freshen breath - The first sign of dental disease is bad breath. The pliable texture of Checkups allows the teeth to sink in, effectively scraping the surfaces to remove plaque. This prevents the buildup of tartar, keeping teeth clean and breath fresh.
- Contains omega-3 fatty acids - Omega-3 fatty acids are important nutrients for controlling inflammation and supporting a healthy skin and coat. Having an additional source of omega-3 fatty acids in your dog's daily diet like Checkups is beneficial for overall health and well-being.

The results found the recipe to be soluble and easy to digest, making it safe for your dog.
- USA and Canada sourced ingredients - All ingredients in Checkups come from North America.
