VetriScience Dental Care Powder Perio Support Clinically Tested Dental Supplement for Small Medium and Large Breed Dogs Freshen

We have been using this powder on our dog’s food for about a month and have already seen such an improvement! Our lab/beagle mix has had tartar and bad breath for years and the vet has recommended a dental, though no actual issues were identified. Given that my dog is 11, the anesthesia made me worry about doing the procedure (not too mention the high cost). My dog seems to like the taste of the powder, his breath is so much better now, and my husband I have both noticed a huge improvement in the tartar buildup on his teeth. We have not noticed any side effects and he actually seems to want to play more and chew on toys again. Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more

I have been using this for approximately 3 years. I have a dachshund, and dachshunds are notorious for getting bad teeth. She used to need yearly dentals but she hasn't had to have one since she started on this (shortly after he last dental 3 years ago). She is getting a dental tomorrow. Every time I take her into the vet, I have her teeth looked at to see if it is time, and last January my vet said that it would be needed by the end of the year (I'm a little late). It is great!!! I have a subscription to it and my new dog (who only has 5-6 teeth) started on it on day 1. Read more

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. Read more

Ok. Dog didn’t seem to mind. Not sure if it cleaned his teeth but helped with bad breath Read more

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! Read more
