HANDLING Store in a cool, dark, dry place. Contains 2.5 ounces.

Our VERY FIRST suggestion when it comes to maintaining oral health starts, number one, with completely entirely eliminating ALL cookies, starches, carbohydrates, kibbles, etc from the diet, including treats, and switching over to a 100% species appropriate raw, whole foods foods diet.

Ideally, feed non-ground, whole parts & pieces, as much whole prey as possible, and feed meat and connective tissue on the bone.

 

If ground raw prepared foods are the basis for your pet's menu, then make sure to include raw meaty bones or whole, large pieces that they can effectively chew, such as: tendon, tongue, gizzards, cheek meat, green tripe, hide, lips, etc at least 1-2x a week.

 

Recreational bones may be suitable for your dog or cat, and if so, joints/knuckles are better than marrow bones when it comes to maintaining oral health.

Including raw dairy and seaweeds are part of our program, too! These foods help to maintain cleaner, whiter teeth and are important to include in the diet for a number of reasons.

For those individuals that struggle, despite doing all of the above, to maintain oral health, or struggle with weak or unhealthy teeth/gums, we suggest supportive care including tooth brushing and professional cleanings, if needed.

Most properly raw fed dogs and cats don't require this, but certain individuals really can struggle.

This product is made for these animals! It can be used by anyone in place of other dentifrice products on the market that contain problematic inactive ingredients or unhealthy flavors, colors, stabilizers, thickeners or preservatives.

It's easy to use, but you do need to purchase wet ingredients to combine with the powder for the most effective use - choose from a wide variety of healthy options in store!

I hope this helps you in your effort to provide the very best of care to your beloved animal family members

Please do your best to find a method to makes tooth brushing a truly enjoyable and bonding experience for you and your animal.
