Kelp’s antimicrobial properties make it an excellent natural product to fight and prevent dental disease in dogs and cats. And there’s even better news: you can put down the toothbrush and start feeding your fur baby a special kelp powder!

Pet parents now know that dental care is just as important for companion animals as it is for humans. Oral health can impact overall health, so get into a good dental hygiene routine with your dog or cat. Tooth brushing has been the go-to method for pet parents for a long time. But recent research shows that kelp can be an effective treatment for plaque and an easy way to prevent dental disease in dogs and cats!

What Is Dental Healthcare?

The most important part of dental hygiene is eliminating plaque. Plaque is a sticky film that contains bacteria. It’s constantly forming on the teeth, and if you don’t remove it, then it can harden into tartar.

Tartar harbors bacteria that destroy enamel and irritate the gums, causing tooth decay and gingivitis. Untreated, this can lead to full-blown periodontal disease, which can cause tooth loss, infections and abscesses in the mouth, pain, discomfort, and even infections in other parts of the body.

The Benefits of Kelp for the Teeth

For humans, brushing and flossing regularly is one of the most effective ways to eliminate plaque and prevent dental disease. For dogs, tooth brushing is one option for dental hygiene, but there are others as well.

Recently, people have realized that kelp is an effective natural way to promote good oral hygiene. Studies show that it has antibacterial properties that break down the biofilm that causes plaque. In other words, kelp:

• Softens tartar
• Prevents new plaque from forming
• Fights tooth decay
• Prevents gum disease
