Caring for your dog’s teeth is just as important as caring for your own. Without regular dog teeth cleaning, your dog could be faced with gum inflammation, pain, and potential tooth loss – not to mention dog bad breath. Although brushing their teeth is the most effective way to avoid rotten dog teeth, there are other approaches you can use side by side. We spoke to our resident vet to find out more.
How to cure dog breath using supplements
Supplements can help to prevent build-up of tartar and plaque on dog teeth. For one of the best dog teeth cleaning supplements recommended by vets, try ProDen PlaqueOff®. Clinical studies, proving significant reduction in plaque and tartar, were reviewed by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), and now a number of the PlaqueOff products carry the VOHC-accepted seal. They’re produced from specially selected Norwegian Seaweed (D1070), which has been shown to have anti-sticking properties. This seaweed is used in both human and animal dentistry to reduce plaque build-up and the texture of rock-hard tartar, making it easier to remove. There are 3 ways that you can use this supplement – in conjunction with brushing – to eradicate unpleasant dog breath smells:
1. Add the supplement as a powder to their dog food
Simply mix ProDen PlaqueOff® into your dog’s food on a daily basis. It’s been clinically proven to significantly reduce plaque and the formation of tartar, resulting in an effective dog breath freshener. If added to dog food every day, results should be seen within 3–8 weeks.
2. Try dog teeth cleaning chews
If you’re hunting for the best dog chews for bad breath, chuck your dog a bone (literally) with ProDen PlaqueOff® Dental Care Bones. A cleverly designed, yet tasty, bone-shaped chew makes for a quick and simple solution when your dog has bad breath. Just one of these a day can help remove plaque and tartar. For the best results, continue to brush regularly.
3. Try dog teeth cleaning treats
If dental chews aren’t for your dog, give ProDen PlaqueOff® Dental Bites a go. These take the hassle out trying to hide supplements in your dog’s food with the same properties PlaqueOff powder.
There’s not a lot worse than when your dog has really bad breath all of a sudden. If this has come on suddenly, then a dental check with your vet is recommended. Plaque and tartar alone are not the only culprits for bad dog breath, so your dog may need more than just a quick brush.
