Bow Wow Yum Yum Mint – 40g (Chewy Mint Treat Stick for Dogs)

Bow Wow Yum Yum Mint & Herbs – 40g Stick

Mira Mar list this one as Yum Yum Mint & Herbs, and the herbs are the point of it. On top of the same 40g semi-soft stick, the recipe carries natural peppermint oil, green tea at 80 mg/kg, and a flavouring blend of fennel, anise, garlic, cinnamon, thyme and kelp.

Kelp is the ingredient doing the dental work — it is the seaweed used across the trade for tartar control — while the peppermint oil handles the immediate smell. It is a breath-and-teeth stick rather than a plain reward, though it is soft enough that it will not do the mechanical scraping a proper dental chew does.

Performance & Benefits

• One 40g semi-soft stick flavoured with mint and a herb blend.
• Natural peppermint oil for breath, with kelp in the flavouring mix for tartar.
• Green tea at 80 mg/kg as an antioxidant.
• Glucosamine 80 mg/kg with chondroitin and hyaluronic acid at 20 mg/kg each.
• Inulin from chicory and dried citrus pulp in the recipe.
• Soft texture, so an older dog can still manage it.

Suitable For

• Dogs whose breath is the complaint rather than their teeth.
• Adult dogs of any size, in a piece scaled to the dog.
• Owners who want a mild dental and joint extra in an everyday reward.
• Older dogs that cannot cope with a firm dental chew.
• Not a substitute for a real dental chew or a vet check — Gently Dently Fresh Breath Mint is the firmer, purpose-shaped dental option we stock.

Feeding

• Mira Mar's instruction: give as a reward, supervise, and keep fresh drinking water available.
• Complementary food, fed alongside a complete, balanced diet.
• Break it into pieces for a small dog or for repeated training rewards.
• Remove and bin the wrapper before handing it over.
• Store unopened sticks somewhere cool and dry; Mira Mar give an 18-month shelf life.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: cereals, meat and animal products, vegetable glycerin, whey derivative, wheat starch, rice, oils and fats, minerals, inulin (chicory), dried citrus pulp.
• Added: glucosamine 80 mg/kg, hyaluronic acid 20 mg/kg, chondroitin 20 mg/kg.
• Additives: a mixture of natural flavourings (fennel, anise, garlic, cinnamon, thyme, kelp), green tea 80 mg/kg, natural peppermint oil, natural preservative, colouring agents.
• Garlic appears in that flavouring mixture at flavouring levels. If your household avoids alliums for a dog with a history of haemolytic anaemia, that is worth knowing before you buy.

Care & Caution

• A 40g stick can be swallowed whole by a large dog. Supervise, and break it into pieces for a dog that bolts.
