Dental Care for Dogs and Cats, 60gm

I cannot rave about this enough! I have a Dachshund mix, and they traditionally are prone to ear periodontal disease, so I have been careful in ensuring my dog's teeth get daily at home care. In addition to enzymatic toothpaste and dental chews, my dogs get this on their food every morning. Within about 3-4 weeks, there was noticeably less buildup on those hard-to-reach back molars. How I wish I had taken photos! The dogs don't seem to notice the powder is there, so it must not taste too bad. Needless to say I don't anticipate my dogs needing a professional dental cleaning as frequently going forward. The value of that is without comparison.

"Proden Plaqueoff Animal," (by the way, there is also a Plaqueoff product for people), is used to control bad breath and to eliminate tartar and plaque in dogs and cats. It consists entirely of dried granulated seaweed - and it appears to work by changing the chemical make-up of your pet's saliva. As far as I know, nobody's critter has ever had an alergic reaction to the stuff, but if your pet is sensitive to iodine, Plaqueoff may not be a good idea. The Three Muske-Terriers, a male Westie, a male Cesky and the Empress-of-All-She-Surveys, a female Scotty have been "on" Plaqueoff for more than two years, (well, the Cesky since his adult teeth came in, so about a year). A daily dose is very small, so even a 60 gram cannister will last for several months. None of our dogs object to the taste, including the Westie, who is particularly finicky when it comes to food - we usually put it in a little "ball" of food, rather than sprinkling it over everything - the ball is always the first thing they eat. I think Plaqueoff is an excellent product and it is an important part of our terriers' "oral hygiene progam," BUT I don't think that it should be the whole program. If your pet will tolerate having his/her teeth brushed, I think you should do so - especially if their diet includes "processed" foods or table scraps. And whether or not you brush 'em, your pet's teeth should be examined by your vet or a qualified technician at least once a year. A set of pearly whites looks great - but it's not always indicative of oral health - it pays to have somebody who knows what they're doing check out your pet's mouth once in awhile, (this knowledge cost me 3 grand to learn - I give it to you for free). A final note on price: For your first time purchase, the small 60 gram container makes sense - that's more than enough to "test" the effectiveness of the product for yourself. But once you're convinced that it works, you should check out the 420 gram cannister. If properly stored, Plaqueoff will not spoil, and the larger container is often MUCH CHEAPER per gram.

This stuff isn't gonna work miracles as a substitute for actually getting your dog to chew their food and use their teeth, but it is a noticeable improvement to their plaque and breath even so. It's an addition to help their teeth, but it's not a substitute, if that makes sense. My dogs hate teeth brushing; I got them older and they hadn't had it before. So I use this, dental chews, and other lick things with fluoride in them to keep their teeth in as good of shape as I can manage. At the end of the day, convincing your pet to slow down and chew their food is the best bet to healthy teeth, and slow feeders are good for that, and dental chews, but I have two labradors, who see food and immediately lose all reason, so other stuff like this tarter stuff is needed. It does help, but it's not going to replace the need for being mindful of your pet's teeth. It does have a strange smell. My dogs don't mind it mixed into their food, but they're labs, and that breed eats anything. A picky eater might be wary. My biggest complaint though, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is the container itself. Its so tall and narrow-- smaller than the photo makes it look-- that it's hard to get the stuff out once you're halfway through the thing. I ended up buying another container to just dump the stuff into, but it sucks to have to do that when I'm already paying 20+ dollars for a pretty small thing.

Very impressed by this product and how it has cleaned my german shephards teeth and gums. Also has helped greatly with my dogs bad breath. It's important to be consistent with using the product. I add to my dog's morning batch of dry food. I been using it now for about 8 months.

Past three month, I tried out Proden but Not effectively for dogs.

niks van gemerkt, hond vond het wel lekker ...

Exactement la même qu’une autre marque plus chère

As a pet owner who takes my dog's dental health seriously, I've been using ProDen PlaqueOff powder for some time now and have been really pleased with it. The ease of use is fantastic – just one scoop sprinkled on his breakfast each day with the provided measurer. It's completely fuss-free. Knowing it's VOHC approved and recommended by vets gave me immense confidence in its quality and safety from the start. After several weeks of use, I definitely noticed an improvement in his breath freshness and general teeth cleanliness. It's a brilliant maintenance product. However, my older dog had some stubborn, hardened tartar that the powder alone wasn't fully removing. That's when I decided to add the InFanso Dog Plaque Remover into our routine. This combination has been nothing short of transformative. While the ProDen PlaqueOff works systemically to soften plaque and freshen breath, the InFanso tool provides the mechanical brushing ability needed to physically scrub away those tough patches of tartar. Using them together has delivered results I hadn't achieved with either product alone. His teeth are now visibly whiter, the stubborn bits are gone, and his breath is consistently fresh. For any pet owner dealing with established plaque, I can't recommend this pairing highly enough. It's the ultimate one-two punch for perfect canine dental care!

I've waited to review this product until we'd used it daily for a month. The left photo shows my dogs teeth before and the right photo shows after one month of use. Positives - his breath does seem to be nicer, he doesn't mind the taste of it and he's notoriously picky, it's actually quite affordable because despite the initial cost being high you use so little that a single jar will last many months. No further plaque has developed. I think his teeth are a little whiter and brighter. Negatives - so it's not a cure all. The amount of plaque hasn't really changed all that much but we also bought an ultrasonic cleaner and he has a toothbrush to use as well. We'll launch into that now but I really wanted to use JUST the plaque off product for a month to see what happened before I muddied the results with other products. Possibly great long term to avoid plaque development but you should probably start with a full dental clean as it doesn't make a huge difference to already developed plaque. Ultimately I think this is a great addition to your dogs dental hygiene routine but it's not a cure all - especially if the dog already has developed plaque. I'll be really interested in the long term results now once we get the a full dental clean as to whether ProDen continues to make a difference in plaque development. We'll continue buying it.
