The Catstages Fresh Breath Mint Stick is a dental chew toy made with mesh material that helps remove soft tartar and plaque from teeth. Filled with 100% natural dried mint that freshens breath as your kitty chews and bites. Since mint and catnip are part of the same plant family, these minty chew sticks will keep your kitty interested and engaged. To release more of the minty scent simply press and roll the center of this cat toy before giving back to your kitty. Crinkle-filled ends provide an added interesting feature to keep your kitty interested for longer. Bonus: Hedgehogs love our mint sticks for anointing their heads with minty goodness!

Inspect toys regularly for damage and remove if broken, or if parts become separated, as serious injury may result. Intended for cats only. Keep out of reach of children. This item is not recommended for cats that chew heavily.
