Blue Chip Bites have been developed to help actively promote healthy teeth and gums.

Teeth play a large part in determining a horse’s lifespan. The condition of the horses' teeth influences his ability to acquire and masticate his food. In the wild, healthy teeth are vital, enabling the horse to graze on a large variety of grasses and herbs. Domesticated horses and ponies have a very different lifestyle - advances in all aspects of their management have contributed to them living longer, many being fit and healthy throughout their twenties and thirties, only starting to drop condition when they can no longer chew and grind their feed due to losing their teeth. Adequate chewing and mastication is required in order to expose the inner portions of forages and grains to enzymatic breakdown in the horses' small intestine.

Ensuring horses' teeth and gums remain healthy is one area where owners can help prolong their horses' lives.
