Tartar Control For Dogs, Arm & Hammer, Tasteless, Odorless, 473 ml

Tartar Control For Dogs by Arm & Hammer is a liquid water treatment designed for stress-free, daily oral care for your pet. It helps keep teeth clean and breath fresh while drinking. The baking soda-based formula helps remove plaque from enamel, which over time can harden into deposits. This is an ideal solution for owners of active dogs that are not accustomed to a toothbrush or sharply react to mechanical cleaning.

• Release form: mouth rinse for dogs.

• Volume: 473 ml.

Key benefits

• Clean teeth, even in hard-to-reach places: the product penetrates where it is difficult to reach with a brush, eliminating the need for you to carry out procedures that are unpleasant for the dog.

• Fresh breath: active ingredients neutralize unpleasant odors from the mouth, allowing you to enjoy communication with your pet without discomfort.

• Protection against tartar:regular use creates an environment in which soft plaque does not have time to harden and accumulate on the enamel.

• Invisible care: the absence of taste and odor allows you to add the product even to the most fastidious dogs, who usually refuse additives in water.

• Safe for enamel: ordinary soda in the composition gently cleans the surface of the teeth, does not scratch them and keeps teeth strong.

• Saving your time: just pour a capful of the product into the bowl once a day. This is enough to keep your pet's teeth clean all day long.

Ingredients and their properties

• Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): creates an alkaline environment that prevents plaque from accumulating. The dog gets clean teeth without mechanical friction.

• Cetylpyridinium chloride: participates in the process of cleaning the mucous membranes and interdental spaces. This is manifested in the absence of unpleasant odor even after sleep.

• Proteases: these enzymes break down protein food residues. This prevents the formation of a sticky film on the teeth during the day.

• Zinc gluconate: is involved in the process of binding sulfur compounds. As a result, the animal's breath remains neutral.

  Benefit studies: Tartar Control Dental Water Additive, Arm & Hammer, Unflavored, Unscented, 473 ml

  Dog oral care products in the form of water additives are considered an option for "passive" daily hygiene, when care needs to be integrated into the routine. Studies most often evaluate the effect of such solutions on the formation of dental plaque and plaque indicators with regular use. Components with antimicrobial activity and ingredients associated with plaque mineralization are studied separately.

  Research

  • Reduction of plaque formation in dogs drinking a solution with natural antimicrobial enzymes and matcha green tea: the study describes the format of an additive to drinking water and an assessment of changes in the plaque index over several weeks of observation. The authors linked regular use of the solution to significant changes in plaque levels compared to controls.

  • Water supplement can reduce plaque and tartar accumulation in dogs: The study evaluates changes in plaque indices when using the water supplement for 30 days. The publication shows a difference between the supplemented group and the control group in plaque and tartar measurements.

  Expert Opinion

  • Brooke Nimetz, USA, veterinary dentist, Diplomate American Veterinary Dental College, San Diego Veterinary Dental Training Center: Her educational materials highlight plaque control as a key pillar of care, and discuss home practices as part of an overall oral hygiene strategy. This logic explains why daily plaque-related solutions are often included in the basic care routine.

  • Ian Bellows, DVM, DAVDC, USA, veterinary dentistry: In a professional guide to dental products for practice, he highlights the category of water additives and describes them as an option for controlling plaque accumulation in home care. This positions water additives as a "parallel" hygiene tool alongside other methods.
