fter many experimental formulations, the ideal combination of ingredients led to these treats. This recipe is soluble and highly digestible, making it safe for your dogs. This was an important priority, but the other priority was to make a pliable texture that would allow the teeth to sink in, effectively scraping the surfaces to remove plaque. When dogs chew the treat, they will remove existing plaque from the surface. This is important to prevent the build-up of tartar. Plaque turns into tartar when it is allowed to stay on the surface of the teeth by binding with minerals in the saliva. Mechanical action is the most important way these treats keep the teeth clean.

To obtain the prestigious Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of acceptance, a study had to be performed on these treats to prove that they really did work to keep the teeth free from plaque and tartar. The study compared the amounts of plaque and tartar on the teeth of dogs who had been eating these treats compared with dogs that were not eating the treats. The VOHC has very specific guidelines for running these studies and you can learn more by visiting their website.

Based on results of a two-stage gastrointestinal digestibility study performed at the University of Illinois, Bright Bites were found to be 100% soluble. This means that at the end of the digestion period (18 hours) the material left behind is what we would expect to leave the small intestine and go into the colon to be expelled as feces. What was left? Nothing! So, the safety of these treats is without question excellent. Learn more about the Bright Bites digestibility study.
