Many pet owners spend a lot of time and energy on products designed to battle the dreaded doggie and kitty breath. Our pets’ breath can be corrosive – seeming to wilt plants and cause mild lightheadedness.

But what about our own less-than-perfect breath? As much as we worry about smell of our four-legged friends’ breath, we humans can also suffer from halitosis from time to time.

Fortunately, Blizzard’s Bones has created a tasty, sugar-free breath mint designed especially for pet owners. Both Blizzard’s Bones Mints and the tins that they come in are shaped like dog bones. And each tin is decorated with a cute, dog-themed design. And the company has generated almost 20 different tin cover designs, if you’re the sort of person who enjoys building a collection.

So aside from the cute tins and bone-shaped design (both of which are great conversation starters when offering a mint), what else sets Blizzard’s Bones Mints apart from other breath fresheners? As a bonus to offering a great product to keep in your pocket or purse, Blizzard’s Bones donates a portion of every sale to animal charities and rescue groups.

At $4 per tin of Blizzard’s Bones Mints during some online sales, the price may seem like a lot to keep your breath fresh. But knowing that at least part of that money will be donated to help other animals, you may find these effective, tasty mints are worth the splurge.

Pros: Tasty and effective; cute design.

Cons: More expensive than regular mints.
