Description
Pedigree Dentastix consist primarily of cereals, starches, humectants, meat by-products, and active dental ingredients. While recipes vary slightly by flavor and region, the core formulation relies on specific components to clean teeth and preserve the chew.
Primary Ingredients:
- Cereals & Starches: Provide the chew’s texture and structure. Common bases include rice flour, wheat starch, and maize flour.
- Humectants: Retain moisture so the stick remains flexible (e.g., glycerin).
- Meat & Animal Derivatives: Provide flavor, usually derived from poultry or pork.
- Vegetable Gums & Cellulose: Add dietary fiber and bind the ingredients.
- Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP): The primary active ingredient. It breaks down plaque and tartar by binding to calcium in the dog’s saliva.
- Zinc Sulphate: Helps inhibit the buildup of tartar.
- Vitamins: Often fortified with Vitamin E and Vitamin C for coat and immune support.
- Preservatives: Ingredients like potassium sorbate are used to prolong shelf life.
- Flavorings & Colorants: Natural poultry flavors, parsley, or eucalyptus are commonly added depending on the specific product variant (e.g., Fresh Mint).
