Love those doggie kisses, but hate that doggie breath? Dental care chews will take care of that problem and more!
Good oral hygiene is very important to the overall health of your pet. Most dogs have oral disease by the age of 3.
Poor oral health results in:
- painful mouth conditions
- difficulty eating
- bad breath
- gum disease
- costly dental procedures
A recent study showed that two-thirds of pet owners don’t provide the basic dental care recommended by their veterinarians. We brush our teeth every day, and it’s important to do the same for our dogs, but this is rarely done as it is very challenging to do.
So what CAN you do?
Dental sticks are a popular solution and easy to find, but what if you had an even easier solution for your pet?
Introducing Plaque Control ™! These soft chews work differently than other dental products. They work from the inside out through your pet’s vascular system via their saliva. Instead of brushing their teeth, they’ll enjoy this delicious chew and you’ll enjoy their clean teeth and fresh breath.
How do they work?
Designed with senior pets in mind, our soft chews are easy on aging teeth. Plaque Control contains kelp activated by saliva, which continues to dissolve plaque and reduce tartar even after ingestion, delivering long-lasting dental benefits for both dogs and cats.
It’s an easy and delicious way to get the active ingredients on their teeth … much easier than trying to brush their teeth daily!
What are the active ingredients I should look for?
Parsley will have an immediate effect, getting into all the nooks and crannies of their mouth and helping to neutralize the bad breath.
The most important ingredient though, is organic kelp, sustainably harvested in the pristine waters off the Scandinavian coastline. This algae breaks down the biofilm, and guess what? Tartar is made of layer upon layer of biofilm, so we are breaking down tartar at its source!
Formulated with specially selected ingredients, Plaque Control works through the vascular system via saliva, ensuring comprehensive oral hygiene support without the need for brushing. They will chew it for a few seconds and the product will continue working for 24 hours.
What else?
A low-carb diet will also help your dog maintain good oral hygiene, as they can’t break down carbs in their mouth since they lack the enzyme amylase. Therefore, high-carb diets can result in tartar build-up in the mouth.
Oral hygiene is very important to the health of your dog. It’s important to either brush their teeth daily, or give them a dental chew daily — one that’s effective in breaking down tartar.
