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.
