OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews for Dogs

Dual-Action Cleaning and Protection with Delmopinol

Plaque and calculus are very common problems in dogs. Plaque forms when bacteria attach to teeth, and over time, this plaque hardens to form calculus (tartar). The accumulation of plaque and calculus can lead to bad breath and other problems.

The dual-action approach of OraVet Chews doesn’t just clean teeth and freshen breath. It creates a barrier to help protect against plaque, calculus, and bad breath.

Dental Hygiene in Dogs


Bacteria Leads to Plaque Plaque can lead to a whole host of frightening problems. What to you is bad breath could be something more frightening; bacteria building up on teeth and gums. As plaque accumulates, it hardens, and turns into calculus, also known as tartar. Left without cleaning, plaque and calculus continue to build up, attracting even more bacteria, leading to more bad breath. That's why it is so important to help remove the buildup.	How to Look for Plaque and Calculus in Your Dog Just lift your dog's lips and have a look. Plaque is a soft, sticky film that builds up on teeth and can be difficult to see since it is colorless. As more plaque accumulates, it can have more of a whitish/yellowish appearance making it easier to spot. Calculus, on the other hand, is mineralized and the buildup is easy to see. It often appears as a yellow or brownish buildup on the surface of the teeth.	Daily Oral Care Means Easier Checkups Just like with people, it’s important for dogs to have regular dental checkups. And also like you, it’s important for dogs to get daily care for their teeth, for a smoother, easier checkup.
