To insure that you dogs teeth remain healthy for a lifetime, it is important to care for their dental health. OraVet Chews can be a big part of that!! OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews combat bacterial attachment, the starting point of plaque, calculus and halitosis. Each chew releases delmopinol HIC, an ingredient that coats the teeth, tongue and gingiva to create a protective barrier against the bacteria that cause bad breath and are the basis for plaque. OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews also break down existing plaque and then effectively remove plaque and calculus through mechanical action.

Salmon Oil and Seal Meal Kelp are great supplements to add to you pet's food.

If you've watched the training videos here, you know that feeding your German Shepherd with the right food bowl is as important as the right food. Below are ones that we like!
And if you are feeding your German Shepherd the proper food, you don't want it to go to waste. The Vittles Vault Airtight Stackable Pet Food Container keeps your food dry and critter free!
