About
About K9 Dental Review
An independent editorial publication covering the dog dental category. We test what we review and we say what we think.
Who we are
K9 Dental Review was founded in 2024 to do one specific thing: cover dog dental products with the editorial seriousness the category never gets. Most dog dental "reviews" online are affiliate placements with no actual testing behind them. We do the work.
We are a small editorial team based in Boulder, Colorado. Every product we cover is tested in-house on one of our reviewer's dogs for a minimum of four weeks before we publish a verdict. We do not accept paid placements. We do use affiliate links on the brand's official store after a product passes our editorial bar, and we disclose that on every article.

How we test
Every product passes through a four-stage editorial test before we publish a verdict.
- Ingredient audit. We compare the listed actives against the published veterinary dental literature. Products whose actives are inert flavoring get a fast no.
- Daily-use trial. The product is used daily on one of our reviewer's dogs for a minimum of 28 days. Some products get longer trials.
- Photographic record. Day-1 and end-of-trial photos of the gum line and tooth surface, lit identically, are kept on file.
- Vet-of-record visit. Where possible, we time the trial to overlap with an existing scheduled vet visit so a licensed professional can observe whether the trial moved any measurable signal.
Editorial independence
K9 Dental Review accepts affiliate revenue. It does not accept paid placements, sponsored articles, or money in exchange for a positive verdict. The same product gets the same score whether the brand pays us a commission or not. Read our full editorial standards for the long version.
