Dogs need dental care, too!
Dental hygiene for dogs is sometimes overlooked. Many people seem to just expect dogs to have bad breath.
Clean teeth is just as important to your dog’s overall health as things like nutrition, proper exercise, and routine grooming.
Help keep your dog healthy – pay attention to those pearly whites!
One of the most common medical problems that dogs suffer from nowadays is tooth and gum disease. The result is that one of the commonest procedures carried out in Veterinary Surgeries is dental treatment that usually involves removal of plaque and tartar and may necessitate the use of a general anaesthetic.
Signs of tooth and gum disease
Plaque is the name for invisible but soft deposits of bacteria and food particles that accumulate on the surface of teeth and gums. Plaque left untreated is likely to harden and become yellow then eventually brown - at which stage it is known as tartar - and comes along with increased potential for development of infection
and gum disease. Also, in it’s turn, tartar is an ideal surface upon which more plaque can form.
The bacteria associated with plaque can cause inflammation in the gums so may eventually
damage the tissue holding tooth sockets as they sit within the jaw bones. A healthy mouth & gums is often indicative of good overall health and vice versa. Bad breath, sore gums & fragile teeth could indicate that your pet may have underlying problems.
Ingredients
A specially selected dried seaweed granule, harvested from the cold clean North Atlantic Ocean, that helps protect against the build up of plaque on your dogs teeth and the resulting tartar and gum disease.
Plaque-away, unlike many other bad breath remedies, is digested by your dog and the active ingredients are dispersed via the bloodstream to the salivary glands and then into your dogs saliva. The active ingredient, a sulphonated fructose, is present in the saliva 24 hrs a day and its anti bacterial properties reduce the formation of plaque. Plaque is not visible, but you may see the brown tartar deposits reduce after 4-8 weeks, confirming that the effect is taking place
Feeding
Feeding Plaque-away? Sprinkle over or mix into your dogs food once a day using the tiny measuring scoop provided. The exact amount isn’t critical.
Each level scoop is 0.7g and so a 70g pot will have 100 scoops and a 350g tub will hold about 500 scoops.
The shelf like is very good, at least 2 years.
Small dogs (up to 10kg) half a scoop daily
Medium dogs (10-25kg) one scoop daily
Large dogs(over 25kg) 2 scoops daily
