Science Meets Simplicity: Vet-Approved Dental Care for Dogs

In this article:

     

    As dog owners, we all want the best for our pets – but it also needs to be practical. When it comes to dental care, we don’t want guesswork or gimmicks. We want real science, real results, and a routine we can actually maintain.

     

    That’s exactly what ProDen PlaqueOff® delivers: clinically proven dental care, made simple. Backed by years of research, trusted by vets, and formulated with one powerful natural ingredient, it helps protect your dog’s teeth and gums – no brushing required.

     

    The Power of A.N ProDen® Seaweed

     

    At the core of every ProDen PlaqueOff® product is A.N ProDen® (Ascophyllum nodosum) – a unique seaweed sustainably harvested from the cold, clean waters off the Scandinavian coast. This isn’t just any kelp – it’s been specifically selected and scientifically studied for its effect on oral health in pets.

    When used daily, A.N ProDen® works systemically via your dog’s saliva.

     

    A.N ProDen® helps to:

    • Prevent plaque from sticking to the teeth
    • Soften existing tartar, making it easier to remove
    • Reduce oral bacteria and bad breath

     

    Unlike manual brushing or topical gels, it targets areas that are often missed – such as between the teeth and beneath the gumline – because it works from the inside out.

     
    Backed by Clinical Studies
    These results aren’t just anecdotal – they’re supported by published veterinary research and recognised by dental health experts worldwide.

    After 1 month of use, clinical trials showed:

    • 32% reduction in plaque
    • 35% reduction in tartar
    • 67% reduction in gum bleeding

    VOHC Approval: The Gold Standard in Pet Dental Health

     

    The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) evaluates pet dental products and only awards its seal to those scientifically proven to reduce plaque and tartar. It’s the gold standard in veterinary dental care – and ProDen PlaqueOff® has earned this recognition across multiple formats.

    Whether you use:

    • ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder
    • ProDen PlaqueOff System® Dental Bones
    • ProDen PlaqueOff® Soft Chews

     

    You can trust that each product has been independently tested and verified to support your dog’s oral health.

    Trusted by Vets, Loved by Dogs

     

    Veterinarians around the world recommend ProDen PlaqueOff® to dog owners looking for a simple, effective dental care solution. It’s especially helpful for:

    • Dogs that won’t tolerate brushing
    • Breeds prone to dental problems (such as small dogs and brachycephalic breeds)
    • Older dogs with sensitive gums
    • Busy owners who want reliable, hassle-free prevention

    Dog owners report fresher breath, reduced yellowing, and cleaner teeth – all without the stress that often comes with brushing. It’s science that fits into everyday life.
