Dental is for the nutritional management of: Daily oral hygiene in dogs over 10 kg, Limits the development of dental plaque & tartar, Helps fight bad breath. Not recommended in cases of: Puppies under 6 months, Pancreatitis or history of pancreatitis, Hyperlipidaemia, Because of their size, texture & shape Dental kibbles have a mild abrasive effect on dental plaque & tartar when chewed. Sodium polyphosphate binds salivary calcium, making it unavailable for tartar formation. Chondroitin inhibits enzymatic action on chondrocytes & hydrates cartilage. Glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans & hyaluronic acid. Highly digestible protein (wheat gluten) limits fermentation processes in the intestine, thus reducing flatulence. Rice, a highly digestible source of starch, improves the overall diet digestibility. FOS & beet pulp stimulate the growth of a beneficial intestinal flora. Veterinary diets are formulated for the nutritional support of dogs with specific clinical conditions & are recommended to be used under veterinary advice. For more information on feeding Dental to your dog, please consult your veterinary surgeon.
