Nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHA)
nHA is the mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel. Here are 7 reasons 37,000+ small-dog owners give it to their dog every day.

Veterinarian Formulated
You clicked because you know 80% of small dogs develop dental disease by the age of 3. You know nHA can help. Good instinct. Here's what nano-hydroxyapatite actually does inside your dog's mouth, in plain English.
Nano-hydroxyapatite is the mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel and 70% of dentin. NASA developed it to rebuild the minerals astronauts lose in space. Not a coating. Not an abrasive. The actual building block of your small dog's teeth, in a daily chew.
Small dogs get the worst of it, crowded teeth, tight gum lines, more surface for bacteria to hide. Every day, chewing and bacteria pull minerals out. nHA bonds to the tooth surface and physically puts them back. Think of it as enamel: it fills in microscopic damage, restores mineral density, and leaves a smoother, whiter surface. Most dental chews scrape. This one rebuilds.
“It works by depositing calcium and phosphate back into enamel. It fills in micro-cracks and creates a smooth protected surface.”
nHA is the active ingredient in human toothpastes like Boka and Dr Jen's. Dentists use it to reverse early-stage enamel erosion, and people who use it tend to notice. Arterra is the only small-dog-friendly dental chew built on the same ingredient.
“It’s an ingredient in my toothpaste as well, and has been touted as a key ingredient to ensure healthy teeth.”
You know you should brush. Your Yorkie, Cavalier, or Dachshund disagrees. The clamped jaw, the head turn, the back teeth you can never reach in a mouth that size. A chew puts nHA on every surface while your dog thinks it's getting a treat. No wrestling. No guilt.
“The nightly teeth brushing was not fun for either of us... now I just give him the dental chew and we’re both a lot happier.”
Small-dog owners don't report vague improvement. They report breath changing within days, teeth visibly cleaner within weeks, and crusty buildup disappearing from the back molars, the ones you can't reach on a 12lb dog. And because dogs treat it like a treat, the routine actually sticks.
“She had grey, crusty build up on her back teeth - it’s GONE. My only regret is I didn’t take a before picture, it really is unbelievable.”
Smart buyers research nHA before trusting it. Here's what they find: it's non-toxic, and it's the same mineral your dog's teeth are already made of, so the body knows exactly what to do with it. Veterinarian formulated, made in the USA, no wheat, no chicken, no fillers. Sized and dosed for small breeds. Daily long-term use isn't a risk. It's the design.
“I saw Arterra and read everything that I could about the ingredients and where they are made. Lo and behold, I believe we have a keeper here!!!”
Anesthesia cleanings routinely top $1,000, and small breeds carry higher anesthesia risk, the sedation itself is something vets weigh carefully on a 10lb dog. Most Arterra customers aren't fixing a crisis. They're staying ahead of one, a chew a day, before the bill and the procedure ever happen.
“They’re fairly pricey but compared to the cost of a dental procedure and the risk of losing another companion it’s well worth it.”
