Dental Chews for Small and Medium Dogs with A.N ProDen™
ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews are dental chews for small and medium dogs designed to make daily oral care easier in a soft, treat-like format. Each 2.5 g soft chew provides 330 mg of A.N ProDen™ (Ascophyllum nodosum) to support oral hygiene, plaque and tartar management, and fresher breath.
The 45-count package provides a convenient way to add dental care to a dog's regular routine without requiring direct application to the teeth. Pet owners comparing oral care options can also explore Stratford's Dental Care collection for other dog dental products and formats.
Dog Dental Soft Chews for Daily Oral Care
Consistency is important when building an at-home dental routine. ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews provide a simple, treat-like format that can be incorporated into regular canine oral care.
Unlike products that need to be applied directly inside the mouth, these dog dental soft chews are designed to be given as a chew. This can make daily dental care more practical for dogs that resist brushing or direct mouth handling.
Dental Chews for Small and Medium Dogs
This particular ProDen DentalCare® formula is intended for small and medium dogs. Each soft chew weighs 2.5 g and contains 330 mg of A.N ProDen™.
Choosing the correct size-specific formula matters because ProDen DentalCare® also offers a separate soft chew for large and giant dogs. The formulations provide different amounts of the active ingredient per chew, so pet owners should select the version appropriate for their dog's size and follow the current product directions.
Dental Chews for Plaque and Tartar Support
ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews are formulated to help manage plaque and tartar buildup as part of a consistent canine dental care routine. They also support healthier teeth and gums and help promote fresher breath.
Dental products are most useful when they become part of an ongoing oral hygiene routine. Waiting until substantial buildup is visible can make at-home dental care more difficult.
What Is A.N ProDen™?
The active ingredient in these soft chews is A.N ProDen™ (Ascophyllum nodosum). Each 2.5 g chew provides 330 mg.
A.N ProDen™ is the key ingredient used across several products in the ProDen DentalCare® range. Stratford offers it in multiple formats so pet owners can choose an approach that fits their dog's normal routine.

Ascophyllum Nodosum for Dog Dental Care
Ascophyllum nodosum is a type of kelp used as the active ingredient in ProDen DentalCare® products. In these small and medium dog soft chews, it is provided through A.N ProDen™ in a measured amount per chew.
The soft chew format combines this ingredient with a treat-like delivery method, providing an alternative to dental powders and other oral care formats.
Dental Soft Chews for Fresher Dog Breath
ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews are also formulated to help promote fresher breath while supporting regular oral hygiene. This makes breath care part of a broader dental routine rather than the only reason for using the product.
Persistent or unusually strong bad breath can sometimes accompany an oral problem that needs professional attention. If bad breath continues despite routine care, particularly when combined with swollen gums, visible buildup, difficulty chewing, or oral discomfort, consult your veterinarian.
Soft Dental Chews vs. Tooth Brushing
Dental soft chews and tooth brushing work differently. Brushing provides direct mechanical contact with accessible tooth surfaces, while a soft chew provides another way to support a dog's daily oral care routine.
Some dogs readily accept brushing, while others strongly resist having their mouth handled. A chew-based product may be easier to use consistently for dogs that do not tolerate brushing well.
For more options, Stratford's guide on how to clean your dog's teeth without brushing covers different approaches to at-home canine dental care.
Dog Dental Soft Chews vs. Dental Powder
Soft chews and dental powder offer different ways to incorporate A.N ProDen™ into a dog's routine. Soft chews provide the ingredient in an individual treat-like format, while dental powder is added to food according to its product directions.
For dogs that readily eat food with a supplement added, ProDen DentalCare® Powder for Dogs provides another option. The powder is available in multiple sizes and also uses A.N ProDen™ (Ascophyllum nodosum) as its active ingredient.
The right format depends on the individual dog's preferences and the owner's ability to use the product consistently.
Soft Dental Chews vs. Dental Bites
Stratford also carries ProDen DentalCare® Dental Bites for dogs. Dental Bites provide a crunchy treat-style option, while these DentalCare® Soft Chews have a softer texture.
Texture can matter for dogs with strong preferences. Some dogs readily accept crunchy bites, while others may prefer a soft chew. Product selection should also take the dog's size and individual oral care needs into account.
What's in ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews?
Each 2.5 g soft chew contains:
- A.N ProDen™ (Ascophyllum nodosum): 330 mg
Inactive ingredients include Brewers Dried Yeast, Canola Oil, Dried Potato Product, Glycerin, Lecithin, Mixed Tocopherols, Molasses, Natural Flavoring (Non-animal), Rosemary Extract, Sorbic Acid, Tapioca Starch, Vegetable Oil, and Water.
If your dog has known food sensitivities or follows a veterinarian-directed diet, review the complete ingredient list before introducing a new chew.
Why Dog Size Matters When Choosing ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews
ProDen DentalCare® offers different soft chew formulations based on dog size. This small and medium dog version provides 330 mg of A.N ProDen™ in each 2.5 g soft chew.
The large and giant dog formulation is different, so the two versions should not be treated as interchangeable. Always confirm that you have selected the appropriate product for your dog's size and follow the directions provided with that specific formula.
Building a Consistent Dental Routine for Your Dog
A practical canine dental routine may include more than one form of care depending on the dog's needs and tolerance. Tooth brushing, dental chews, powders, bites, wipes, water additives, veterinary examinations, and professional dental care can serve different roles.
Pet owners can compare these options in Stratford's dog dental care collection. When choosing multiple products, follow their individual directions and ask your veterinarian if you are uncertain about combining different dental care formats.
ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews for Small and Medium Dogs, 45 Count
ProDen DentalCare® Soft Chews provide a convenient 45-count dental chew for small and medium dogs. Each 2.5 g chew contains 330 mg of A.N ProDen™ (Ascophyllum nodosum) and is formulated to support daily oral hygiene, plaque and tartar management, healthier teeth and gums, and fresher breath.
For pet owners searching for dental chews for small dogs, dental chews for medium dogs, dog dental soft chews, plaque and tartar chews for dogs, or Ascophyllum nodosum dental chews, this size-specific formula provides a convenient option within the ProDen DentalCare® range.
At-home dental products should be part of an appropriate oral care routine, not a substitute for veterinary dental treatment when it is needed. Contact your veterinarian if your dog has persistent bad breath, bleeding or swollen gums, loose or damaged teeth, difficulty chewing, oral discomfort, or substantial dental buildup.
