INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
A look at what we're made of
Ascophyllum Nodosum
Ascophyllum Nodosum or better known as Kelp, supports pets' dental health by inhibiting plaque formation, breaking down existing plaque, and preventing its hardening into tartar. Its antibacterial properties may reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, freshen breath, and support healthy gums by reducing inflammation.
Pre, Pro & Postbiotic
The inclusion of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics works to create a balanced oral microbiome by targeting harmful bacteria in the mouth. By reducing the presence of pathogenic bacteria, this combination helps prevent the accumulation of plaque and tartar, promoting healthier teeth and gums, and supporting long-term dental health.
Herb & Fruit Extracts
The inclusion of herb and fruit extracts are rich in polyphenols which help inhibit the growth of harmful oral bacteria, reducing plaque and tartar buildup. They contain strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, promoting gum health by reducing inflammation and preventing bacterial growth.
What does dental disease look like?
Plaque is present and is the primary cause of gum inflammation. At this point, it is soft and can be removed with regular brushing.
Plaque that has not been removed hardens into tartar, which starts to cause more serious gum and bone issues. Tartar begins to contribute to the formation of pockets around the teeth.
Tartar build-up is more significant, causing further gum recession, bone loss, and more severe periodontal pockets.
Extensive tartar is present, leading to severe destruction of the tooth’s supporting structures, loose teeth, and potential tooth loss.
THE IMPORTANCE
How gut & dental health are related
Your pets gut health has a significant impact on their dental health and can influence the development of dental diseases. A well-functioning gut supports a pet's immune system and nutrient absorption, both of which are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. When a pet’s gut is out of balance, harmful bacteria can grow and spread, potentially reaching the mouth and causing issues like bad breath, plaque buildup, and gum disease. Additionally, if a pet's gut isn't absorbing nutrients properly, it can lead to deficiencies in key minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which are crucial for strong teeth.
