Whimzees Toothbrush Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 30

Whimzees Toothbrush Dental Dog Chew – Large, Box of 30

A VOHC acceptance is granted on the basis of a chew fed daily, not occasionally, which makes the thirty-count box the version that matches the evidence. Thirty Large Toothbrushes is a calendar month for one dog of 18–27kg.

The Veterinary Oral Health Council lists the Whimzees Toothbrush in all sizes as accepted for plaque and tartar, awarded in 2019. Each Large chew is 173 kcal, so a month's supply is a little over 5,100 kcal to account for.

Performance & Benefits

• 30 Large chews — a month of the daily feeding the VOHC acceptance is based on.
• VOHC accepted for both plaque and tartar, all sizes, since 2019.
• Bristle-like nubs designed to reach the tooth surface and gum line.
• 173 kcal per chew, about 5,100 kcal across the box.
• No meat and no cereal grain in the ingredient list.
• Better per-chew value than restocking singles through the month.

Suitable For

• Dogs of 18–27kg on a daily dental routine.
• Owners following veterinary advice to use an accredited dental chew.
• Two-dog households, where the box runs a fortnight.
• Dogs not yet used to the shape — try the single Whimzees Toothbrush Large first.
• Dogs of 11–18kg should not be fed a Large; the Whimzees Antler Medium, Box of 66 is the bulk option at that weight.

Feeding

• One chew per dog per day.
• 173 kcal per chew, 30 chews per box.
• Whimzees size their chews by bodyweight: XS 2–7kg, S 7–11kg, M 11–18kg, L 18–27kg, XL over 27kg.
• Whimzees publish bag and box counts for some markets but no pack count for this box on their own site, so the count here is the pack as supplied.
