brushing at home
Use a gauze pad to clean your dog’s and/or cat’s teeth at least three times a week to prevent the formation of tartar. Once they get used to it, add special toothpaste for them. Do not use human paste, it is highly toxic to them!

The croquettes also protect against oral diseases, some of them are formulated with special ingredients that fix calcium, in addition the abrasive effect of the croquettes helps reduce dental plaque.
dental awards
