Get • 🦷 New research alert!
A new article by DogRisk researcher Manal Hemida shows that puppies fed mostly ultra-processed kibble early in life have a higher risk of developing tartar as adults.
✨ But what is tartar?
Tartar (hammaskivi) is the hard, yellowish buildup that forms when soft plaque stays on the teeth and hardens. Once it becomes tartar, it can’t be brushed off — and it can lead to bad breath, gum inflammation, pain, and even tooth loss.
🌱 Early diet matters.
Texture, freshness, and chewing opportunities in puppyhood all play a role in lifelong dental health.
