Dental care
By three years old, most dogs already have periodontal disease.
Almost nobody brushes their dog’s teeth as often as the vet recommends. This is the version that does not require winning an argument twice a day.
Why a powder, not a chew
What this does differently
A systemic active carried in saliva gets to the canines and the back of the mouth. A chew only cleans what it touches.
Sprinkled onto wet food. No chew the dog has to want, no brush they have to tolerate.
It works through saliva chemistry, not grit. Nothing in it wears enamel.
Half a scoop daily, from the same tub. One product for the whole household.
Eight ingredients, each with a reason.
Most dental tubs are seaweed and nothing else. This one names every component and what it is there for.
Also: inactivated brewer’s yeast and hydrolysed animal protein for palatability, so it actually gets eaten. This formula is declared by ingredient rather than by milligram — exact inclusion rates are on the batch specification, and we will email you the current one.
The formula
Not seaweed on its own
The Ascophyllum does the main work. Everything else is there because a dental product that only addresses plaque is leaving gums, breath and enamel out.
Main active
Ascophyllum nodosum
The algae most studied for plaque and tartar.
- Works systemically through saliva
- Reaches teeth a brush misses
Alongside
Spirulina
Nutrient-dense algae, added with the Ascophyllum.
- Not a substitute for it
- Named on the label
Breath
Powdered peppermint
Addresses breath rather than masking it.
- In the formula, not a coating
- First thing owners notice
Gums
Sophora japonica
Botanical traditionally used for gum comfort.
- Rare in a dental powder
- Declared by name
Prebiotic
Chicory inulin
Prebiotic fibre. The mouth is the start of the digestive tract.
- Supports the oral microbiome
- Whole-root source
Minerals
Dicalcium phosphate
Mineral support for tooth structure.
- No abrasive action
- Dihydrate form
Ingredient photography is illustrative. Contains iodine from seaweed. For dogs and cats.
Side by side
Against a typical dental product
| Typical dental product | DentaCore Daily | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | A chew the dog has to want | Powder on food — nothing to refuse |
| Seaweed | Often the only ingredient | Ascophyllum plus spirulina and botanicals |
| Breath | Mint flavouring on top | Peppermint and Sophora japonica in the formula |
| Cats | Dogs only | Suitable for both |
| Abrasives | Grit that can wear enamel | None — works through saliva |
A dental chew only cleans the teeth it touches — for most dogs, the big chewing teeth on one side, and not the canines or the back of the mouth where tartar actually accumulates.
Why a powder beats a chew here
Four things about dog dental care that are rarely said out loud.
A chew cleans about a third of the mouth
Most dogs chew on one side, with the carnassial teeth. That is not where tartar collects fastest. The canines and the very back of the mouth are, and a chew never reaches them.
Saliva goes everywhere
A systemic active carried in saliva reaches every surface, including the ones you cannot see and could not brush if you tried.
Brushing is still the gold standard
If your dog tolerates it, keep brushing. This is for the days and the surfaces brushing does not cover — which, for almost every household, is most of them.
It prevents, it does not remove
New plaque has a harder time forming. Existing tartar does not dissolve — nothing in a tub does that. That part is a scale and polish under anaesthetic.
Daily directions
One scoop on wet food
A 2 ml scoop is included. Sprinkle onto wet food once a day — it mixes in and most pets do not notice it. For a fussy cat, start at a quarter scoop mixed well and build up over a week.
- Cats and dogs under 25 lb Half a scoop daily.
- 25 to 75 lb One scoop daily.
- Over 75 lb One and a half scoops daily.
- Every day Daily use is the whole mechanism. Skipped weeks show up at the next check-up.
Day to day
Where this shows up in everyday life
Week one to two, and it is the change everyone in the house notices.
It goes on wet food. There is nothing to refuse and nothing to hold still for.
Weeks eight to twelve: the gap between professional scales starts to stretch.
Half a scoop for a cat or a small dog, from the same tub.
Canines and back molars, through saliva rather than contact.
No abrasives that wear enamel, no artificial flavour, no added sugar.
The honest version
What to expect, and when
Usually the first thing to change, and the easiest to judge.
Existing tartar does not dissolve — nothing in a tub does that. New plaque has a harder time forming.
The interval between professional cleanings starts to lengthen.
Daily use is the whole mechanism. Skipped weeks show up at the next check-up.
No risk to you
Give it 90 days. Then decide.
If your dog is no better, email us and we refund the order — opened tub included, nothing to ship back.
Quality you can check
Not seaweed on its own.
No grit, no sugar, no artificial flavouring.
Same tub, half the scoop.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
Should I use this or the dental sticks?
They do different jobs. The powder works systemically through saliva and reaches every tooth; the sticks clean mechanically where the dog actually chews. Using both is the closest thing to brushing.
Can I still brush?
Yes, and you should if your dog tolerates it. Brushing is still the gold standard — this is for the days and the surfaces it does not cover.
My cat is fussy.
Start with a quarter scoop mixed well into wet food and build up over a week. The hydrolysed protein is there precisely for this.
Why are there no milligram amounts?
This formula is declared by ingredient rather than by weight. The exact inclusion rates are on the batch specification — email us the batch code on your tub and we send the current one.
When should I see a vet instead?
A loose tooth, bleeding or receding gums, dropping food, or breath that has suddenly got much worse is a dental exam, not a supplement. Persistent bad breath can also point to kidney or gut problems — worth mentioning at the next appointment.
How long does a tub last?
For a 50 lb dog on one scoop a day: 30 days for the 30-serving tub, 60 days for the 60-serving tub.
For dogs and cats. Not for use in pregnant or lactating animals. Contains iodine from seaweed — consult your veterinarian before use if your pet has a thyroid condition or is on thyroid medication. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
