ProDen PlaqueOff Cat 40 g | Designed Specifically for Cats | Bad Breath, Plaque, Tartar (Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss (see handout "Dental Disease in Cats" for further information). As tartar builds up along the gum line, it pushes the gums away from the roots of the teeth. As the gums recede, they expose the sensitive, enamel-free part of the tooth which causes sensitivity and pain. "Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss." Lily was very young (about 1 1/2 years old) when she had her teeth pulled. I can say with total honesty that if I had to do it all over again I would have pulled her teeth sooner. It has been over two years since her teeth were removed. She’s still on Lysine and PlaqueOff, which I will keep her on for life (unless I have to stop the PlaqueOff if she develops a thyroid problem), and you’d never know to look at her today what she went through with stomatitis. Dry food also has a lot of fillers and is extremely fattening. A lot of cats are addicted to it. Switching to an all wet food diet can be difficult. My favorite myth is that it’s good for their teeth. In fact it’s horrible for their teeth. It would be as if we ate candy all day and never bothered to brush. What format are Flame’s antibiotics, and how does your husband have to administer them? If they are liquid, I would try mixing it with wet food. That can be dicey, though, if your cat doesn’t eat it and then the dose is wasted. Or, suggest to your husband that you give it orally (squirt it in the mouth), then reward Flame with a kitty treat of some type. Do this consistently so he learns that he will be rewarded for taking his medicine. This is what I do with Lily. Each morning and night I have to rub steroid cream in her ear, then I reward her with a small amount of watered-down wet food that also has the Lysine and PlaqueOff in it.

I’ll discuss with the vet about the side effects of steroids (related to diabetes) and see if we can go with the lowest dosage possible. According to the manufacturer, it can take between three and eight weeks before you see improvement. Keep in mind this timeframe is for non-stomatitis symptoms. I can tell you that I noticed improvement within four weeks, and even more improvement at eight weeks. What Is The Difference Between The Two Types of PlaqueOff?Tomorrow we go to have cold laser therapy for her gums and she is getting some chinese herbs to calm the inflammation. Greta is on L-Lysine to prevent eye irritation and goop (had a severe eye infection as a kitten) and has been on probiotics since her fight with giardia (lasted about 6 months) She was on forti-flora from the vet and is now on Gentle Digest

Using a VOHC-accepted water additive to reduce the bacterial count in the mouth, resulting in improved breath. After your cat's teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished by your veterinarian under general anesthesia, home dental care is needed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. You can decrease plaque accumulation by undertaking the following:Regarding Iodine toxicity. Food-forms & AA chelates would just get excreted in excess. Lugol’s solution, saturated potassium iodide 10%, while fine externally could bio-accumulate. First, tartar forms a rough surface that serves as a place for bacteria to grow and multiply in the mouth. Bacteria can cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), which often results in painful bleeding.

I do not yet know the answer to this. I give Lily one scoop per day, and I started giving it to her almost four months ago. The container says that it should last for about six months, but I have quite a bit left. My guess is that one container will last us between nine months and one year. Possible Feline Infectious Peritonitis in her litter (have had to euthanize 2 of the 4 kittens with what vets suspected to be FIP) but Greta and her surviving sister have been otherwise healthy Thank you for all the info on plaqueoff, I will be buying it today! I do feel compelled to tell you what I have done extensive reading on it diets. Dry food is the worst thing you could feed a cat. Dry food will literally dehydrate a cat. Raw food it the best because it contains the the moisture your cat needs. Their natural diet is something like 80%water. If raw is something that you dont want to feed dehydrated raw is another option. If raw not raw than strictly canned is ok. You can actually add alittle water to canned to make it more hydrating. I read that the worst canned food is better than the best dry food. I have spent hours and hours reading about this and I am really pleased with the change it has made it my cat as well as my moms. My cat had very bad gas and also when he would defecate the smell was horrific. Since the diet change gas is gone and his stool had no smell at all! My mother has a very overweight cat and since the raw diet she has lost weight but more importantly she is so much more active. She used to sleep constantly and now she and her sister explore and play, the change in behavior is amazing! Just wanted to share and thanks again for all the info on Plaqueoff!

Dental Bites

Are there any other dental vets you could go to, even if they are 30-60 minutes away, who do x-rays? Feeding your cat a dental diet accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), which slows plaque accumulation through mechanical or chemical means. By limiting plaque as it forms, tartar development is greatly reduced.
