Pedigree DentaStix
The best-known daily dental chew, and a genuinely convenient one — the X-shape and texture are designed to help reduce tartar build-up, it's cheap, and it's on every shelf. It scores below the premium treats because it's a cereal- and starch-based compound chew rather than a single-ingredient, meat-first treat, but as an affordable daily dental routine it does a useful job.
