Alvar Pet Dental Chews

Made from clean, hypoallergenic insect protein and powered by active ingredients that help reduce plaque and tartar, Alvar Dental Chews offer a simple, natural way to care for your dog’s oral health. Fresh breath, cleaner teeth – one chew a day.

Key Benefits

• Hypoallergenic – Grain free & single protein (insect) formula makes the chews a suitable option for dogs with sensitivities.
• Active tartar prevention – Sodium hexametaphosphate works to limit tartar formation when used regularly.
• Naturally fresher breath – Includes real mint to support cleaner-smelling breath.
• Fibre-rich texture for plaque control – The chew’s natural fibre structure helps mechanically reduce plaque while your dog chews.
• Vet-developed for daily oral care – A simple routine (that your dog will love!) to support long-term dental health.

What’s Inside & Why

Every ingredient serves a purpose:

• Dehydrated insect protein (27%) – A clean, single-source protein suitable for dogs with sensitivities.
• Pea & potato starches – Provide structure and chewability, supporting the mechanical cleaning effect.
• Vegetable fibre (4%) – Contributes to the abrasive action that helps reduce plaque.
• Sodium hexametaphosphate (0.6%) – Scientifically recognised mineral that helps reduce tartar build-up.
• Mint (2%) – Adds a natural freshness to your dog’s breath.
• Dried apple, yeasts & dried vinegar – For palatability and natural preservation.
• Antioxidants (tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils) – A natural way to keep the product fresh.

Formulated without artificial colours, synthetic flavours or unnecessary fillers.

Expert Notes

“Sodium hexametaphosphate may sound wild, but it’s essentially a salt compound with phosphorus. SHMP effectively binds calcium from saliva – without it, calcium sticks to plaque and makes plaque mineralise into tartar. The ingredient works best when combined with the mechanical abrasion created by chewing, which also helps to clean the tooth surface.” - Alvar Petin co-founder, eläinlääkäri Henna (DVM, PhD)
