We recommend 4 bites per day, making each 56-count pack a 2-week supply. For best results, give them consistently at the same time each day — cats respond well to routine, and daily use is what makes SHMP effective over time.

Palatability was a core formulation requirement — a dental chew a cat refuses provides zero benefit. Ari and Larry were our first testers, and both are notoriously opinionated about food. The chicken and fish protein base is designed to appeal to feline taste preferences. If your cat is hesitant at first, try introducing one bite alongside their regular meal.

No — and we would never claim they can. Professional veterinary dental cleanings are the gold standard for feline oral health. Dental Bites are designed to support daily oral hygiene between cleanings, not substitute for them. We recommend maintaining your regular veterinary dental schedule alongside daily use.

Yes. Sodium hexametaphosphate is a clinically studied ingredient used in leading veterinary dental diets and is recognised as safe at concentrations used in oral care products. It works in the mouth where it is needed and passes through the digestive system normally. Our formulation team reviewed the existing safety literature extensively before including it.

Dental Bites are formulated for adult cats. We recommend consulting your veterinarian before introducing any supplement to a kitten under 12 months of age, as their nutritional requirements and dental development differ from adult cats.

When you subscribe, you save 15% on every order and choose your delivery frequency — every 2, 4, or 6 weeks. You can pause, skip, or cancel anytime from your account. No contracts, no fees. We recommend a 2-week delivery frequency to match the 56-count pack size so you never run out.
