Beaphar Toothpaste 100g

DescriptionBeaphar Toothpaste is vet strength, and has been specifically formulated for both cats and dogs. Regular use will help improve your pet’s oral health and reduce the need for expensive dental treatment.
Beaphar Toothpaste contains two enzymes that fight bacteria and break down plaque. Protease destroys the protein structure of plaque before it binds with calcium to create tartar. Glucose oxidase breaks glucose down into gluconic acid. This is harmless and produces a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, which provides an antibacterial action and kills the bacteria responsible for bad breath.
It is important to not use human tooth care products on your pet as these products usually contain fluoride which is toxic to animals and can result in serious health problems. In addition, human toothpaste contains a foaming agent, which if swallowed will irritate your pet’s stomach.
Beaphar Toothpaste is fluoride-free and readily accepted by pets due to its delicious liver flavour.
We recommend using the Beaphar Toothbrush with your Beaphar Toothpaste. This handy, soft-grip, double-ended toothbrush has two brush head sizes, each with varying length bristles to help you to reach all your pet's teeth, even the hard to reach areas in their mouth.
