This powder can be sprinkled on regular meals to prevent new plaque formation and soften existing tartar. Reviewers, praising the product, remarked on its convenience and its potential to save money on future veterinary bills. One customer, Jen, stated the powder is “worth every penny,” while another reviewer, Theresa, expressed her intention to use it for her dog for life.
The product has received endorsement from the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), which evaluates and approves products for their efficacy in controlling plaque and tartar. Dr. Carly Fox, a senior veterinarian at Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, recommended VOHC-approved products for pet dental health.
Users have reported that their pets enjoy the flavor of the powder, assisting even the pickiest eaters, with one reviewer noting their dogs’ teeth improved significantly. The Plaque Off powder comes with a measuring scoop and is recommended based on pet weight: 0.5-1 scoops for pets under 25 pounds, 1-2 scoops for those between 25-50 pounds, and 2-3 scoops for pets over 50 pounds. Results may take three to eight weeks with daily use.
Dr. Fox emphasized the importance of regular veterinary checkups in addition to home dental care. She advised consulting a veterinarian before starting the powder and monitoring any behavioral changes. The product is available on platforms like Amazon and Chewy. Customer feedback reflected its effectiveness, with multiple users sharing positive experiences regarding their pets’ dental health after consistent use.
