VetriScience Dental Care Powder, Clinically Tested Dental Supplement for All Dogs & Cats, Freshen Breath, Control Plaque and Tartar, Oral Health, Perio Support, 4.2 oz

This stuff works to prevent plaque. There is a slight anise smell in the container so I make sure it is mixed in well. We spent thousands of dollars to have 5 teeth removed from the cat and over a dozen from the dog. They both refuse any form of tooth brushing, won't eat the expensive paste, etc. I tried everything else without success. I wondered if this product was effective. After all, getting it in them is only half the battle. It's been over a year since the oral surgery and both of their mouths smell good and their teeth don't have plaque. Incredible!

I actually feel like this product has helped with my dog foul breathe!! I’m impressed and will keep buying

This product is too expensive. However, it does work well and it's very easy to sprinkle some onto meals. I can tell a visible difference in my dogs teeth after a short time of using the powder.

This dental dog powder is amazing. Really cuts the smelly breath down!

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 think this works okay. I might notice a slight difference in breath, but not a ton. It has a strong smell to it as well, but my dog seems to like the taste.

Buy it if your dog has those nasty tartar, gray brownish and stinky breath After literally 2 feeding with this powder and i also add “ Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Pet Dental Water Additive, Liquid Tartar Remover & Breath Freshener for Dogs” in his water, this is the result of his teeth after one night. The right side molars ‘s tartars is still there and it is how his was before, but the upper left molar’s tartar already came off. A big wow moment for me. His gum definitely looks less red and less swollen, teeth looks cleaner and his mouth smells so fresh too. He seems so happy this morning and like he wanted me to know and thanks me. I’ll update more to see if we can clear all of them gunks!! I’m not sure which products helped but that’s the combination I used for my dog!

Adopted a senior dog with horrible dental disease. After her teeth were professionally cleaned and having to have eleven of them extracted, I wanted to do something to help keep her teeth clean. It was recommended to use this product. I sprinkle the powder on her wet food every morning and night. She doesn't seem to care it's there and always finishes her food . I hope this will help prevent dental decay, but time will tell.

Works great! My chihuahuas almost 16 and he’s had bad teeth and gums….Also has knock out gas breath lol (Kisses are not a problem..Today people won’t drop dead or run if kissed by him 😚💗🐕). My best friend means allot and he loves these things very much! Pretty picky with other dog treats, but he really loves these thank goodness 🦴🥳😊 Got him this because I can’t afford the vet cost at the moment…and don’t want to take out a bank loan lol. Only complaint is I wish the cost didn’t fluctuate, especially after I purchased it. It’s gone up 10 bucks since I purchased it, so hopefully it doesn’t go up more. 🙏 Hope the price goes down soon, however my little dude is small and doesn’t need a big dose thankfully. Sooner pay for this then the vet cost any day regardless. Happy to find this product, it’s definitely worth the cost as it works well within a few days or less. Plaque is seriously visibly reduced dramatically..his gum bleeding has pretty much disappeared also.

I have been using this product to treat my cat for gingivitis. It works well

entrega rapido, no se aun su efecto, lo compre por los comentarios positivos

Good but expensive, would buy it regularly if it was cheaper. My cat actually has to chew these instead of just swallowing it whole. He didn't like them at first but came around and liked them after a week or 2.

I love this product. I read somewhere that it helps stop the tear stains in white dogs so as I have a Maltese, I decided to try it. I think it works by killing the bacteria that causes the staining. It worked very well and I sent for more. Highly recommended.
