Need a good tried and true oral plaque rinse

I tried topical rinses and used Oxyfresh for quite a long time. It helped, but not as much as I'd like.

Then I found ProDen Plaque Off. It's a Norwiegan kelp product that you add to the dog's food daily. They get a tiny bit (the spoon is included) once a day and the plaque literally falls off their teeth. Barkley was going to have a dental cleaning last year which I postponed because he had Lyme disease. I started him on this instead and in two months my vet said he didn't need the cleaning.

I bought the 180g size from Amazon for $26 and have been using it for my four since last summer and I still have half a jar left. It's not expensive and very cost effective. I'll take this over a dental with anesthesia any day.

Plaque Off is what the vet recommended for my three, particularly since Emma had such an issue with plaque and infection.

Only caution I have here is a the Kelp. Kelp is full of iodine which is fine for most dogs, and actually a great supplement....unless your dog is hypo-thyroid....no kelp allowed!

Thank you Barb, Harper Lee is hypothyroid. See this is why this is the best forum in the world for sharing forward.

I remember we used kelp back in the 80's to encourage bitches coats to regrow after litters. I decided to try the plaque off as I had heard good things about it from a respected friend and breeder. Then I saw her dog - half sister to our Rhiannon. Her once beautiful long belgian tresses were now shoved aside by profusely growing undercoat. Her teeth are cleaner but at what cost. After 4 weeks of giving this to my belgian Rhi I started to see the same strange coat growth and decided to stop using the product. I actually did a weaning of it so there was no shock to her system. Maybe nothing to really worry about but I am not taking any chances with my old girl. As for Tin, he's hypothyroid so no kelp for him.
 
The Perio-Support powder is made up of:

Active Ingredients Per 2.5 g (approx. 1Teaspoon):
Natural Zeolites . . . . . . . . . .500 mg
Cranberry Extract . . . . . . . . . .25 mg
Yucca Shidigara Extract . . . . . . . 7 mg
Taurine . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.25 mg
Zinc (as Zn Ascorbate) . . . . . . .0.8 mg
Lactobacillus Acidophilus . . . .5,500 CFU
Enterococcus Faecium . . . . . . 5,500 CFU

I've been using it for 3 days now and I can already tell a huge difference in Trax's breath. It has lost the rancid smell it had before. Hopefully in a few weeks his teeth will be cleaner :smile2:

This is interesting. I've been using Plaque Off on my four for months and their coats are all full and beautiful with no change.

Caution about kelp....I've read that its it's wonderful for healthy dogs, but terribly toxic to dogs with hypothyroidism.....and sometimes you don't even know that the disease have it until later.
 
I was going to try the Plaque Off since it was cheaper. Until you talked about thyroid problems. I have one on thyroid meds.

So I will continue with the Healthy Mouth since it isn't creating any problems.
