Frequently Asked Questions
What is Natural Dog Company Dental Powder?
Natural Dog Company Dental Powder is a once-daily oral health supplement for dogs. The powder sprinkles directly over food and is formulated to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, freshen breath, support healthy gums and maintain a balanced oral microbiome.
How does Natural Dog Company Dental Powder work?
Dental Powder uses several approaches to support canine oral health. A canine-specific oral health postbiotic helps maintain a balanced oral microbiome, kelp supports a healthy oral environment and natural saliva function, and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) helps limit plaque and tartar formation.
Does dog dental powder help with plaque and tartar?
Natural Dog Company Dental Powder is formulated to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Sodium hexametaphosphate binds with calcium in saliva to help limit the formation of plaque and tartar, while kelp and the oral health postbiotic provide additional dental support.
Can Natural Dog Company Dental Powder help with bad dog breath?
Yes. The formula is designed to freshen breath by supporting a healthier balance of bacteria in the mouth rather than simply masking odor. It also contains parsley, spinach, rosemary and decaffeinated green tea for additional breath and oral health support.
What is the canine oral health postbiotic in Dental Powder?
The canine-specific oral health postbiotic is produced through fermentation using Pediococcus pentosaceus and Bacillus subtilis. Postbiotics are beneficial compounds produced during fermentation rather than live microorganisms. This clinically studied postbiotic is included to support a balanced oral microbiome, fresh breath, clean teeth and healthy gums.
What is sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) and why is it in dog dental powder?
Sodium hexametaphosphate, commonly abbreviated SHMP, is included to help control plaque and tartar. It binds with calcium in saliva, helping limit mineral buildup on the teeth and reduce surface staining.
How much Natural Dog Company Dental Powder should I give my dog?
Give one scoop (2.67 g) once daily by sprinkling it directly over your dog's food. Natural Dog Company recommends the same one-scoop daily serving for dogs of all sizes.
Do I still need to brush my dog's teeth when using Dental Powder?
Dental Powder provides convenient daily oral health support without requiring brushing at the time it is given. However, tooth brushing and regular veterinary dental care remain valuable parts of a complete canine oral care routine when recommended by your veterinarian.
Can puppies and senior dogs use Natural Dog Company Dental Powder?
Yes. Natural Dog Company states that Dental Powder is suitable for dogs of all breeds and ages. Dogs with specific health conditions or those taking multiple supplements should be discussed with a veterinarian before adding a new supplement.
Is Natural Dog Company Dental Powder grain-free?
No. Dental Powder contains maltodextrin, which Natural Dog Company identifies as a grain-based ingredient used as a carrier for the oral health postbiotic.
What flavor is Natural Dog Company Dental Powder?
Dental Powder has a mild savory pork flavor designed to blend easily with a dog's regular food.
How long does one container of Natural Dog Company Dental Powder last?
Each 2.82-ounce container provides approximately 30 servings. At the recommended serving of one scoop per day, one container provides approximately a 30-day supply for one dog.
