Pet owners want pets' breath to stay fresh, yet high-calorie treats often stand in the way of this goal but the new Minties FreshBites are light, chewy and just 7.5 calories per treat. Designed for frequent treating, these soft chews make it easier for pet parents to reward pets throughout the day—before and after playtime, walks, meals, and occasions in between—to better support daily oral care, freshness and bonds with beloved members of the home.
The low-calorie Minties FreshBites recognize that 81% of pet parents are after a softer way to tackle bad breath, and this new product builds on Minties' proven breath-freshening formula, fueled by five natural breath fresheners: alfalfa, peppermint, fennel, dill, and parsley. All the while, these odor-neutralizing treats are gentle on digestion and suitable for senior dogs and those with sensitive stomachs.
