About Pedigree Dentastix Small
Bad breath, yellow-brown crust near the gum line and red gums are signs that plaque and tartar are building up on your dog's teeth. Brushing is the best fix, but many dogs will not sit still for it every day.
Pedigree Dentastix Small is a daily dental chew for adult dogs weighing 5 to 10 kg. Each stick has an X shape and a firm, chewy texture that rubs against the teeth as your dog chews, including the back teeth and along the gum line.
Pedigree adds two active ingredients, zinc sulphate and sodium tripolyphosphate, that help slow the build-up of tartar. Pedigree's listing for India states that Dentastix is scientifically proven to reduce tartar build-up by up to 80 percent when given once a day.
This 110g weekly pack has 7 sticks, one for each day of the week.
Which Dentastix Size Is Right?
- Small, 110g (7 sticks), dogs 5 to 10 kg (this page)
- Medium, 180g (7 sticks), dogs 10 to 25 kg
- Large, 270g (7 sticks), dogs over 25 kg
This page is the Small size, for dogs 5 to 10 kg. Small breeds such as Shih Tzu, Pug, Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian and Dachshund often fall in this range, but go by your own dog's weight. Pick the size by weight, not age. A stick that is too small can be swallowed in big pieces, and one that is too large may be hard for a small dog to chew properly.
Ingredients
Ingredients, as listed for this product in India:
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cereal, starch, cereal protein | Form the chewy body of the stick. |
| Humectant and vegetable gum | Keep the stick flexible and chewy rather than hard. |
| Sodium tripolyphosphate | An active ingredient that binds the calcium in saliva, which helps slow down the build-up of tartar. |
| Zinc sulphate | An active ingredient that helps reduce tartar formation and supports fresher breath. |
| Meat and meat by-products (poultry and pork) | Give the meaty flavour dogs like. |
| Cellulose fibre | Adds texture that helps the stick scrub the tooth surface. |

Features and Benefits
- X-shaped design. The four ridges of the X reach between teeth and down to the gum line, where tartar tends to form first.
- Two active ingredients. Zinc sulphate and sodium tripolyphosphate work with the chewing action to help reduce tartar build-up.
- Up to 80 percent less tartar build-up. This is Pedigree's own claim for daily use, as stated on its India product listing.
- Fresher breath. Less plaque and tartar on the teeth means less of the bacteria that cause bad breath.
- One a day, seven a pack. One stick a day makes the habit easy to keep, and each pack covers a full week.
- No added artificial colours, flavours or sugar. Pedigree states the sticks have none of these added.
- Fully digestible. Pedigree describes the stick as completely digestible, with no residue.
Feeding Guide
- How many. Give one small stick a day to an adult dog weighing 5 to 10 kg.
- Age. For dogs over 4 months of age. Not for younger puppies.
- Count the calories. Each stick adds calories. Reduce your dog's main meal slightly if your dog is gaining weight.
- Water. Keep fresh, clean drinking water available at all times.
How to Use
- Give it whole. Hand the stick to your dog and let them chew it. The chewing is what does the cleaning, so do not break it into small pieces.
- Watch the first few. Stay with your dog the first few times. Some dogs gulp treats. Take it away if your dog tries to swallow large pieces whole.
- Same time each day. Many owners give Dentastix after a meal or at bedtime so it becomes part of the daily routine.
- Keep brushing. Dentastix supports dental care but does not replace brushing. Brush your dog's teeth with a dog toothpaste as often as you can.
- Storage. Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place.
Safety and Precautions
- Right size only. This size is for dogs 5 to 10 kg. Do not give it to dogs below that weight.
- Dental disease. Loose teeth, bleeding gums, a swollen face or a dog that stops eating need a vet check, not a dental treat.
- Allergies. Contains poultry, pork and cereals. Avoid it if your dog is allergic to any of these.
