VetriScience® Laboratories Perio Support Powder, 4.2 oz. (120 g)

Description

Simplify cat and dog teeth cleaning with a daily powdered formula for dental health and hygiene support.

Perio Support is a dental health formula designed to support your pet’s periodontal health in a convenient delivery system.

Perio Support is supplied in a tasty, aromatic powder that is sprinkled on top of your pet’s food to alleviate the mess and hassle of brushing.

Dental Health:

• According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80-85 percent of all pets have periodontal disease. That number jumps to 100 percent in pets over 4 years of age. In fact, it is the number one health problem diagnosed in dogs and cats. Pet owners often overlook routine cat and dog teeth cleaning at home.

 

• Dental health is important to the overall health of your pet. Dental problems affect the health of the heart, lungs and kidneys. This is why it is so important to provide your pet with proper daily dental care before there is a problem.

 

• Formulated specifically for use between routine veterinary dental cleanings, Perio Support helps maintain clean teeth, freshen breath, control plaque formation, and support gum health. The targeted and quick delivery system helps keep your pet’s mouth healthy as part of a daily periodontal care program.

 

• Perio Support reduced the prevalence of plaque by 20% and tartar by 18% in a double-blind testing of 20 dogs in just 28 days. (Hemopet Study: “Evaluation and Comparison of the Effectiveness of VetriScience Powdered Perio-Support on the Reduction of Plaque, Calculus, and Gingivitis in Adult Dogs”)

About the ingredients in Perio Support:

• Natural Zeolites are unique minerals that help prevent plaque from forming and sticking to teeth.

 

• Zinc penetrates plaque on the teeth and oxidizes it, resulting in less plaque formation.

 

• Cranberry is a source of antioxidants rich in bioflavonoids that support gum tissue health. They also help interfere with bacteria that can lead to plaque buildup and tissue destruction.

 

• Taurine works with zinc to support gum tissue health and strength. Strong gum tissue is important, since bacteria grows on dead tissue.

 

• Lactobacillus Acidophilus help support a healthy bacterial balance in the mouth. They help the body displace unhealthy plaque-causing bacteria and support strong gums and fresh breath.

 

• Yucca Schidigera Extract is an herb that inhibits enzymes that break down the structural integrity of gum tissue.

 

• Vegetable Fats ensure product palatability, help ingredients adhere to the teeth, and provide essential fatty acids that support gum health.

 

Perio Support is:

• Easy to use
• Easy to remember
• A convenient way to support daily dental health
