The growing emphasis on preventive pet care is evident as owners increasingly treat pets as part of the family, driving demand for reliable, at-home dental solutions. Pet dental care often represents a significant financial burden for owners, especially amidst soaring veterinary costs and limited insurance coverage. Unlike traditional methods that require mechanical brushing, Superculture® Pet Oral provides clinically validated support for oral health, showing tangible results such as fresher breath in dogs within 7 to 14 days.
Ravi Sheth, co-founder and chief scientific officer at Kingdom, noted the trend of pet humanization is pushing the industry toward higher-quality products backed by scientific research. He emphasized the transition of biotics from a marketing term to a recognized category with measurable health improvements.
The first study, titled "Canine Halitosis Improved with a Postbiotic," confirms that Superculture® Pet Oral can significantly reduce bad breath compounds, reporting a 26% reduction in odor-causing substances compared to a placebo within 14 days. Meanwhile, dogs in the placebo group experienced a 38% increase in these compounds, underlining the product's preventive capabilities.
In a second study, "A Postbiotic Positively Shifts the Canine Oral Microbiome," researchers quantified the impact of Superculture® Pet Oral on the oral microbiome. The findings revealed a substantial decrease in pathogenic bacteria, achieving a ninefold reduction compared to the placebo group in just one week, alongside a 44% reduction trend in odor-producing bacterial colonies.
Aylesse Sordillo, principal scientist at Kingdom, stated that the research connects robust clinical data to observable outcomes, assuring pet owners of effective products that yield noticeable results, such as better breath in their pets.
Kingdom continues to prioritize rigorous, peer-reviewed research to enhance efficacy and substantiate its claims within the pet health sector. With these advancements, Kingdom has accumulated five peer-reviewed studies on its Superculture® ingredients, which are already utilized by over a dozen leading pet food and supplement brands, including Dinovite, Native Pet, and Woof. This furthers the trust and credibility essential in the pet wellness market.
Kingdom is dedicated to providing effective natural ingredients and serves as a trusted partner for top pet brands in the development of proven products for oral and immune health. The company is headquartered in Brooklyn, NY.
