Cats / PlaqueOff-180gr (item no.: 617)

If your dog or cat suffers from bad breath this may indicate a problem with oral health. Plaque and tartar are major health issues in canines and felines, and especially in older animals. In dogs, the smaller breeds suffer most, but plaque and tartar are found in all breeds to a lesser or greater extent.

Dental plaque is a biofilm that develops naturally on teeth when these do not get enough use or enough cleaning. When the plaque calcifies, it turns into tartar. This appears primarily on the rim of the gums (the gumline) and on the back teeth. Tartar is very difficult to remove without the help of a veterinarian.
We recommend that you make it a habit to examine the teeth of your dog or cat once a week. The animal will become accustomed to you examining its mouth and you will be able to discover any dental deterioration at an early stage. Unlike humans, dogs and cats rarely get cavities, but are much more prone to excess tartar build-up and gum disease (gingivitis). Gingivitis can be seen as reddening of the gums adjacent to the teeth. It also causes bad breath.
If tartar is not removed from your pet’s teeth, it builds up under the gums and separates the gums from the teeth to form “pockets” which encourages even more bacterial growth. At this point the damage is irreversible and can be very painful. Unfortunately, dogs and cats are experts at masking discomfort and pain and many owners may not notice that their pet has a problem.
The best way of keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy is by removing plaque regularly and thoroughly with the use of a toothbrush.  However, since many dogs and cats do not permit their teeth to be brushed, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal provides a complimentary solution which helps keep plaque and tartar under control.
ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal is ingested together with pet food and pets generally begin to see results over a 2-8 week period. How fast you will be able to notice a difference depends on how long the problem has been affecting your dog’s or cat’s oral health.
 
Product
ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal is a revolutionary pet dental product available from veterinary practices and selected pet shops. Used daily, this completely natural product made from seaweed can significantly help reduce dental plaque and tartar and improve breath in cats and dogs.
Dental care is unfortunately one of the most overlooked health issues that pet owners concern themselves with. As in humans, plaque bacteria constantly forms in the mouth of all cats and dogs. Once plaque has calcified into tartar it can no longer be brushed off. In many cases it has to be removed by a vet using ultrasound and anaesthetic.
If tartar build-up is left untreated it can result in bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and premature tooth loss. Tartar that is allowed to remain for too long can also cause infections that can spread throughout the body and damage the heart, lung, liver and negatively affect kidney functions.
Since daily brushing of your cat or dog’s teeth can be difficult to achieve, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal provides an easy solution to improving your pet’s oral hygiene.
An internationally patented and clinically tested product, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal fights tartar and plaque on tooth surfaces and reduces bacterial presence. The active element in PlaqueOff® Animal is a specially selected seaweed,  Ascophyllum nodosum, harvested from the clean and cold seas of Norway and Iceland. A 100% all natural product, ProDen PlaqueOff® Animal  is free from artificial colours and preservatives and contains no gluten or sugar.
Unlike most other plaque control products that are applied directly on the teeth, PlaqueOff® Animal works systematically and comes in powder that is sprinkled on your pet’s food. When the ingredients are absorbed into the blood via the digestion and enters the saliva, they effectively prevent accumulation of plaque by affecting the ability of plaque to ‘stick’ to surfaces in the mouth. Existing tartar becomes porous, looses by itself or can be easily removed by brushing or cleaning.
Improvements can usually be seen as early as after 3 to 8 weeks of use.
