VetriScience Dental Care Powder, 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1) - Packaging May Vary

This is a FABULOUS product. I notice right away that my puppy's breath was fresh. I really found out how well it was working, though, when we went to visit my mom and didn't take it with us. After a few days she started to have the dreaded dragon breath. It was good to get her home and back to her treatment routine.It took a bit longer to notice a difference in my older dog. But after a few weeks even her serious dragon breath has cleared up. I am 100% thrilled with what this does. I'm anxious to see what it will do, over time, for the teeth.The one bottle is enough for one dog, about 50 lbs for a month. I don't know if it adds a flavor that they like or if it's just something they don't mind. Either way, they eat it sprinkled on their food with no problem.I would definitely recommend this product for all dog parents.

I have an older dog that had teeth problems who would not let me brush his teeth. This stuff works!!!! Just sprinkle on top of your dog's food. I also mix in a tablespoon of pumpkin (pure pumpkin from a can, NOT pumpkin pie filling. I mix the pumpkin with his kibble and then sprinkle this stuff on top. He gets that every morning and the Vet is very pleased with the progress we have made with his teeth!!!! He has been on this for over two years now, and Amazon has the best price, compared to buying directly from your Vet. IT IS THE SAME THING!!!!!!!

I have three cats with differing health needs. The one I originally bought it for would develop plaque on his teeth pretty quickly and needed cleanings almost yearly. This product has kept his teeth clean so well I haven't has to schedule a cleaning for him in two years! Another cat had pretty healthy teeth and gums for almost 8 years. His diet is mostly wet food for urinary issues. It caught up to him a year ago with plaque starting to develop. The vet wanted to schedule a cleaning soon. I decided to try the powder with him. With his health issues, our vet and I am leery to change his diet. But I decided to slowly add the powder and cross my fingers we wouldn't have to go through another UTI. Six months later, we took this cat in for a checkup and his teeth were clean and his good health is maintaining. Out third cat is somewhat feral. She adopted us and our workshop after a close call with a hawk. She doesn't like being handled much so getting her to a vet has not been possible. She's also been getting the perio powder, but since I can't handle her, its hard to say how her teeth are. My fingers are crossed that this product is having the same benefit for her as my other cats. All the cats have no problem eating their food with the powder mixed in, until there's about a quarter of the bottle left. Then they start to refuse their food. In one way, I'm losing money when I have to throw out almost a quarter of the jar, but gaining with no vet bills for teeth cleaning. I've thought about changing to a different brand if I could find one in a smaller bottle, but then I have no idea if another brand will work as well as this one. So I am staying with this brand, but I do wish I could figure out a way to keep the last of the powder fresh enough for them to finish it.

Has been helping with my dogs bad breath! This was recommended to us by our vet since our dog loves to chew on sticks and other things in the yard that homes bacteria. They told us about this product to help reduce the bacteria in his mouth. You have to be consistent with it or there no point like any other product. Its not an over the night type of fix, you have to do it as directed for it to work!

Vetriscience is a 40 year old company that I typically trust. I purchased this for my 3-lb Pomeranian to use alongside the 1-TDC gel caps and daily brushing. However, I would not recommend using it for cats or very small dogs. The dosing can be tricky, and their smaller size makes them more vulnerable to potential side effects.If you research “natural zeolites,” you’ll find they are known for their ability to bind heavy metals such as arsenic and lead. Zeolites are naturally occurring minerals found in volcanic rock formations and marine sedimentary layers. Zeolite is a family of naturally occurring (and sometimes synthetic) microporous aluminosilicate minerals that act as ion-exchange adsorbents. Common types include clinoptilolite, chabazite, mordenite, analcime, erionite, ferrierite, heulandite, laumontite, and phillipsite.This product is typically sprinkled onto food, but since dogs often sniff their meals before eating, there is a real concern about inhalation. In powdered form, zeolite can become airborne, and inhaling mineral dust may irritate the lungs. While not all zeolites are harmful, some forms like erionite are classified as carcinogens when inhaled, and it’s best to avoid chronic exposure to any fine mineral dust in pets.The term “natural” has become a bit of a marketing buzzword, often implying purity or safety without clear definition. Even “natural” zeolites can bind essential minerals like zinc, copper, and magnesium, potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies and placing extra stress on the kidneys over time. This could be particularly harmful in small breeds or pets with pre-existing kidney issues.While zeolites can help break down bacterial biofilms, such as those that cause plaque, I believe VetriScience could have opted for a less risky ingredient in a product intended for daily use. The mineral-binding properties are a double-edged sword: potentially beneficial for detox or oral health, but not without risks—especially for tiny dogs whose liver may not tolerate this.

I'm about ready to try this, has a italian herbs strong smell. I doubt my cats will like it and avoid eating. But..this one product had the ingredients i wanted including 3 different pro biotics bacterias.
