Virbac C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit
Virbac's C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit is best-in-class for dog oral care because it delivers a veterinary-formulated enzymatic system and professional-grade accessories trusted in clinics; its clinical focus helps reduce plaque and tartar more reliably than many consumer kits. Although positioned at a premium, the technical efficacy and potential to lower long-term dental bills justify the cost compared with chew-focused or natural-brand solutions on this list.

Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Kit
Nylabone's Advanced Oral Care Kit leads the market for chewing-based dental maintenance by providing durable, mechanically cleaning chews and tools that remove plaque through abrasion rather than chemistry. It is a highly cost-effective choice for active chewers and pairs well with enzymatic pastes like Virbac's for a combined mechanical and chemical approach, though it lacks the clinic-level enzymatic formulation of some premium kits.
