Created with a Vet Scientist, we use active ingredients that will assist in reducing the build-up of plaque and tartar when given daily. As 4/5 Australian dogs will have gum or dental disease by age 3… we recommend giving our dental sticks each and every day.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth and contains millions of bacteria. Plaque develops when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) are frequently left on the teeth.
Tartar is a yellow or brown coloured deposit that forms when plaque hardens on your teeth. Because tartar build-up on teeth is strongly bonded to the tooth enamel, it can only be removed by a dental professional.
Dental care is so important because if unattended, it can turn into health complications in other parts of the body beyond teeth and gums. Most commonly, it turns into gingivitis with symptoms such as bad breath, swollen gums and yellow teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend seeing a vet before the disease or infection goes into the blood stream.
Bell & Bone Dental Sticks contain 2 active ingredients that work together to assist in reducing and preventing the build-up of plaque and tartar in the dogs’ mouth. Both ingredients are perfectly safe for dogs (and humans!). Combined input rate for both activates: 3.25% < 3.50% tested rate
(all other rest result, percentage of ingredients used and other findings are protected by IP laws)
Sodium Tripolyphosphate is able to bind directly to the enamel, interacting with calcium in the dogs’ mouth to prevent it being able to form crystals (or plaque). It also helps prevent stains on teeth and can be easily digested when ingested. Text
Zinc Sulphate inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the teeth to control plaque formation. In doing this, it will assist in reducing the odour of bad breath. This works together with for the greatest impact on the teeth and gums. Text
