Vetradent Water Additive Main Uses

• Plaque and Tartar Control: Specifically formulated to reduce the accumulation of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) by disrupting the oral biofilm.

• Breath Freshening: Helps eliminate the source of bad breath (halitosis) by targeting odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.

• Oral Hygiene Maintenance: Serves as an easy-to-use home care tool for pets that do not tolerate manual toothbrushing.

Vetradent Water Additive Active Ingredients

• Sodium Citrate & Citric Acid: These agents act as chelators that bind to minerals (like magnesium, calcium, and iron) within the dental biofilm, weakening the structure of tartar and depriving bacteria of essential nutrients.

• Zinc Chloride: Provides antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of oral bacteria and neutralize sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.

• Biotrate™ Technology: A proprietary formulation that alters the environment of the mouth to break through the protective "slime layer" (biofilm) of dental bacteria.

• Formulated using 100% human food-grade ingredients and is strictly Xylitol-free, alcohol-free, and chlorhexidine-free.

Vetradent Water Additive Dosage & Administration

• Liquid Formulation: Shake well before use. Add 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of Vetradent per 1 cup (250 mL) of fresh drinking water.

• Multi-Pet Use: Safe for all dogs and cats in the household to share from the same water bowl.

• Administration Timing: Provide as the primary source of drinking water daily. Fresh solution should be prepared every 24 hours to maintain maximum efficacy.

Vetradent Water Additive Side Effects & Safety

• Common Reactions: Generally well-tolerated. Some pets may initially notice a slight change in the taste of their water; if a pet refuses to drink, start with a lower concentration and gradually increase to the full dose.

• Rare Side Effects: Minor gastrointestinal upset may occur if a pet consumes a large amount of the treated water very quickly.

• Safety Warnings:

  • Avoid direct contact with eyes.

  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Not for human consumption.

• Recommended Safe Duration: Designed for daily, long-term use as part of a proactive dental health regimen. Periodically reassess oral health with a veterinarian.
