Dechra's VETRADENT® Dental Wipes for Dogs Earn VOHC Seal of Acceptance for Effective Tartar Control

Dechra, a leader in veterinary specialty care, has announced that its VETRADENT® Dental Wipes for Dogs have received the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Acceptance. This accolade confirms that the dental wipes met the rigorous clinical standards set by the VOHC for effective tartar control in dogs.

The approval came from the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) Board, which supported the use of the VOHC Seal for both consumer and veterinary markets worldwide. Although VETRADENT® Dental Wipes are marketed for use with both dogs and cats, this recognition specifically pertains to their effectiveness in dogs, backed by submitted clinical data.

"We are thrilled to receive the VOHC Seal for our VETRADENT® Dental Wipes," stated Dr. Tara Culley, Dental Medical Affairs Lead at Dechra. "This recognition reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based dental care products that promote better long-term oral health for pets."

Dental disease is a prevalent issue among pets, with studies indicating that nine out of ten dogs show signs of periodontal disease by the age of one. This highlights the necessity for preventative oral care products and professional veterinary services. Dr. Jan Bellows, DVM, Dipl. AVDC, ABVP, commented, "The VETRADENT® wipes are my number one recommended dental product to control plaque and tartar."

In addition to the dental wipes, other VETRADENT® products that have also received the VOHC Seal of Acceptance include VETRADENT® Liquid Water Additive and VETRADENT® Powder Water Additive.

Designed to enhance oral hygiene by decreasing tartar buildup, VETRADENT® Dental Wipes have demonstrated statistically significant reductions in plaque, tartar, and gingivitis scores through clinical studies. The wipes are large-sized for ease of use and do not contain xylitol, alcohol, or chlorhexidine.

Important safety information states that the wipes are for use in dogs and cats only, should avoid contact with eyes, and must be kept out of reach of children. For further details, Dechra can be contacted at 1-866-933-2472.
