PetPax co-founder Nathan with his dog

I spent $3K on my dog's teeth, when I could have spent $60/month instead!

“I never used to brush her teeth bc she fights me and hates it… but I didn’t realize that I was actually hurting her by not doing anything. I took her to the vet and they needed to remove 5 teeth, which cost us three THOUSAND dollars! That’s why we developed DentalMelts. We wanted a simple, stress-free way to keep our pets’ teeth healthy, no toothbrush, no fights, and no expensive surprises at the vet.

Dosing twice a day runs about $60 a month.”

Does this sound like your dog?

You're not imagining it

Four things almost every dog parent runs into — usually all at once, usually without anyone telling them why. The only question is whether you catch them now, or after they've gone too far.

  • Breath that's turned sharper
  • Yellow-brown buildup on the back teeth
  • Chewing on one side only
  • Pawing at the mouth

The signs aren't a warning about "someday." They're telling you it's already happening — and the longer they go unanswered, the fewer easy options are left.

0%+ By age three

Of dogs are already showing early signs of dental disease — most owners never see it coming because it starts quietly, under the gumline.

$0+ Before complications

Is the average cost of a single professional dental cleaning — and that number climbs fast once extractions or anesthesia get involved.

That breath isn't normal

Bad breath isn't just something dogs "have." It's usually the first outward sign of a bigger problem building beneath the surface.

Brushing daily? Sure.

In theory, every day. In real life, maybe twice a month if your dog lets you near their mouth at all. You're not failing — brushing just isn't realistic for most households.

If any of this sounds familiar — the guilt, the vet-visit sticker shock, the breath you keep hoping is "just a food thing" — that's not you falling behind. That's just what dental disease looks like when no one's told you what's normal.

You're not a bad pet parent, you just need a routine that doesn't feel like a battle. Lift, stick, rub, done.

Reviews worth barking about

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Our dog has notoriously bad breath, and other dental sticks upset her stomach. DentalMelts are the first thing that's kept her breath fresh for hours without any GI issues.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Our 8-year-old lab is a notoriously picky eater, but she takes these easily. The melt sticks right to her gum and her breath is noticeably fresher afterward.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Brushing was a two-person job that always ended with a ruined toothbrush. Now he takes his DentalMelt easily every day, and his breath has improved a ton.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    My dog hated the toothbrush, and his breath was becoming a real problem on long car rides. A few tries in, he took to DentalMelts, and the difference in his breath has been worth it.

Frequently asked questions

Still on the fence? Here's what other dog parents asked first.

How does DentalMelts help with my dog's breath?

One of the leading causes of bad breath in dogs is bacteria and buildup around the teeth and gums. DentalMelts' blend of spirulina, sage, calendula, ginger, parsley and apple cider vinegar helps curb that bacteria right where it starts, supporting fresher breath with daily use.

How is this different from dental chews or sticks?

DentalMelts are fast-dissolving oral thin films—not bulky chews or sticks. They tuck into your dog’s cheek pocket and dissolve quickly, delivering targeted oral-health ingredients without chewing, added calories, filler ingredients, or the risk of swallowing large pieces. They’re especially helpful for small dogs, seniors, picky eaters, or dogs that struggle with traditional tooth brushing and/or dental chews.

How often should I give my dog a DentalMelt?

One melt a day is the minimum effective dose to help keep tartar at bay. For best results, use twice daily, ideally when you brush your own teeth.

How long until I notice a difference?

Some dogs may experience fresher breath sooner, but meaningful oral-health results take time. For best results, use DentalMelts consistently every day for at least three months. Just like brushing your own teeth, consistency is what makes the biggest difference.

What if my dog won't take it?

Some dogs take it on night one. Some need three or four tries, and a few never do. If yours will not take it, that is on us. Keep the box, email us, and we refund you in full within 90 days. Before you give up, try this: hold the melt flat on your open palm at your dog's chin height and let her take it herself rather than opening her mouth. Most dogs that refuse the lip-lift will take it offered. For smaller mouths, fold the melt in half or into quarters. Folding does not reduce the dose, a folded melt is exactly as effective as a whole one.

Is DentalMelts safe alongside other medications?

DentalMelts are generally suitable for daily use, but every dog, and every medication is different. If your dog takes prescription medication, has an existing health condition, or uses other supplements, consult your veterinarian before adding DentalMelts to their routine. Bring the ingredient list so your veterinarian can check for any potential interactions. DentalMelts are made with natural, human grade ingredients.

What age can my dog start using DentalMelts?

DentalMelts are suitable for dogs 12 weeks and older. Starting an oral-care routine early can help your puppy become comfortable with having their mouth handled and build healthy lifelong habits. For puppies under 12 weeks, or dogs with medical conditions, consult your veterinarian before use.

Can I get a refund if it doesn't work out?

Yes. Every PetPax Co. order is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If your dog doesn’t take to DentalMelts or you’re not satisfied with your experience, contact us within 30 days of purchase and we’ll make it right.

What size dog is this for?

One melt is one dose for any dog, from a 5 lb Chihuahua to a 90 lb Shepherd. Smaller mouths get the same dose in a smaller shape: fold the melt in half or into quarters and it works exactly the same.

Flat-faced breeds, Frenchies, Pugs, Bostons and Boxers, are some of the dogs that need this most, because crowded mouths are harder to brush and harder to chew with. A folded melt fits a crowded mouth where a dental chew often will not.
