is a popular dental hygiene product designed for dogs (and cats) to help prevent tartar buildup, remove plaque, and freshen breath. It is non-toxic and safe for pets to swallow.
Key Details
- Product Benefits: The toothpaste improves overall oral hygiene, helps prevent dental calculus (tartar) and plaque accumulation, and provides a long-lasting fresh, minty scent and cooling sensation.
- Ingredients: According to various merchants, the ingredients often include Sorbitol, Silicon Dioxide, Alkyl Polyglycosides, Cellulose Gum, Peppermint or Mint Flavor, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, and Enzymes. Some sources also mention the addition of bone meal to ease dental hygiene and eucalyptus and cinnamon oil for their anti-microbial properties.
- Safety: The formula is non-toxic and specifically designed for pets, meaning it is safe for them to swallow in small quantities and does not contain alcohol or fluoride, unlike human toothpaste.
Directions for Use
- Introduction: Acquaint your dog with the taste and sensation by rubbing a small amount of the toothpaste gently on their teeth and gums with your finger.
- Brushing: Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to a dog toothbrush or finger brush.
- Application: Gently brush your dog’s teeth and gums using circular motions, making sure to reach all areas.
- No Rinsing: Rinsing the dog’s mouth after brushing is not necessary.
- Frequency: For best results, brush your dog’s teeth 2-3 times per week, or as directed by a veterinarian.
