Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Ark Naturals Kiss Me-Ow Dental Chews?
Ans: Ark Naturals Kiss Me-Ow Dental Chews are crunchy cat treats designed for oral care. Each chew has a ridged exterior and a toothpaste center that helps polish teeth, reduce plaque and tartar buildup, and freshen breath during daily chewing.
Q2: Are these chews safe for kittens?
Ans: Yes. These dental chews are intended for cats 6 months and older. The crunchy texture and toothpaste center are formulated for mature chewing habits, so wait until kittens reach that age before offering them regularly.
Q3: How does the toothpaste center work?
Ans: The toothpaste center uses sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP), a proven dental ingredient that binds to minerals in plaque. As your cat chews, SHMP helps soften and reduce tartar while the crunchy outer ridges scrub tooth surfaces.
Q4: How often should I feed Kiss Me-Ow Dental Chews?
Ans: Offer the chews as a daily dental treat. Serve a few pieces at a time and adjust based on your cat’s size and calorie needs. Always provide fresh drinking water and maintain a regular meal schedule as a central part of your diet.
Q5: Why are crunchy dental chews helpful?
Ans: These chews are baked to create a firm crunch that supports mechanical cleaning. The ridges rub against teeth to lift debris, so they’re helpful for cats who dislike brushing and need an easy daily dental option.
Q6: What ingredients provide the dental benefits?
Ans: They’re made with chicken meal as the primary protein, plus potato starch, rice flour, and tapioca for their crunchy shape, and contain added taurine, calcium, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids to support overall wellness, alongside dental benefits.
Q7: Will picky cats like the flavor?
Ans: Yes, many picky cats enjoy the savory chicken flavor. The small crunchy chews encourage longer chewing, and the toothpaste center adds extra taste, making it easier to keep a consistent dental routine at home every day.
Q8: How should I store the chews?
Ans: Store the bag in a cool, dry place and reseal it tightly after each use. Use within the best-by date and discard chews that become stale, discolored, or damaged to keep treat time safe and effective.
Q9: Can these chews replace regular food?
Ans: No. Kiss Me-Ow Dental Chews are supplemental treats, not a complete source of nutrition. They should comprise no more than 10% of daily calories and be fed in conjunction with a balanced cat food to meet complete daily vitamin, mineral, and taurine needs.
This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, shipped, tracked, and delivered.
1. Shipping Origin and Fulfillment
Orders are dispatched from our U.S.-based fulfillment center. We deliver to eligible addresses within the United States and to eligible international destinations shown at checkout.
If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.
3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times
For eligible U.S. addresses, our current shipping options are:
- Priority Shipping: $5.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 1–2 business days after shipment.
- Standard Shipping: $2.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 3–6 business days after shipment.
- Free Shipping: $0 — estimated carrier transit time of 5–8 business days after shipment.
Total estimated delivery time includes both the 1–5 business day processing period and the applicable carrier transit time. The shipping service, cost, and delivery estimate available for your order are shown at checkout before payment.
4. International Shipping
We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.
For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

If an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within 7 calendar days after confirmed delivery. Please include your order number and clear photos of the item, packaging, and shipping label when relevant.
Approved cases are handled under our Return & Refund Policy, including return-shipping assistance when the issue is our responsibility.

You may request an eligible return within 30 days after confirmed delivery. Return requests submitted after the 30-day period are not accepted unless applicable law requires otherwise.

- Unused, unwashed, and in its original condition.
- Returned with the original packaging, tags, accessories, manuals, and other included components, when applicable.
- Not specifically identified as final sale or non-returnable before purchase.
Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.
3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items
Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.
4. No Direct Exchanges
We do not provide direct exchange service. If you want a different item, size, color, model, or version, return the eligible original item under this Policy and place a new order separately.
5. How to Start a Return
Returns are handled by mail. Before sending an item back, contact our customer support team through the Contact page or the current contact information displayed in the website footer. Please provide:

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.
For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.
7. Original Shipping Charges
Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable for standard customer-choice returns, except where required by law. If the return results from an approved damaged, defective, or incorrect item, applicable shipping charges will be handled as part of the resolution.
8. Refund Review and Processing
After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
