the navan dental protocol

Three chews. One ritual.

A vet-vetted approach to canine dental health, built on single-ingredient chews, daily protein rotation, and the mechanical cleaning that happens when dogs eat the way they were built to eat.

the problem

The dental crisis nobody talks about.

By age three, more than 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease. The leading cause: a daily diet of ultra-processed kibble and "dental treats" loaded with starches, sugars, and binding agents that feed the same bacteria they claim to fight.

Vet bills for advanced cleanings can run $500–$1,500. And most owners don't realize there's an issue until their dog is already in pain.

We built navan to fix the cause, not chase the symptoms.

the protocol

Three pillars. One simple ritual.

The protocol is built into the chew itself. Your dog does the work.

Single-ingredient

One protein per chew. No fillers, no starches, no binding agents, no flavorings, no chemicals. If the bag says rabbit ears, the bag contains rabbit ears.

Daily rotation

Three proteins, rotated across the week. Each chew has a different texture — soft, twisted, dense — that targets a different surface of your dog's teeth and gums.

Mechanical cleaning

The way nature designed it. Slow chewing of real animal tissue scrapes plaque and strengthens jaw musculature — no chemicals, no toothbrushes, no fight at bedtime.

what to expect

What changes and when.

Day 1

Your protocol arrives. Three bags, three proteins, one ritual to start. Most dogs sit by the door when they hear the bag open.

D30

Day 30

Fresher breath. This is the first metric we hear about from owners — usually within the first month on the protocol.

D60

Day 60

Visible plaque reduction. Teeth look whiter. Gums look pinker. The yellow tartar line at the gum line starts to retreat.

D90

Day 90

Sustained dental health. The protocol is now part of your dog's life — and most owners tell us their dog reminds them when it's time.
