Nutraplaque Capsules for Dogs and Cats
Nutraplaque is a dietary support formulation designed for both dogs and cats. It comes in easy-to-give capsules which contain a carefully balanced mixture of enzymes and beneficial compounds that act in the the mouth to help reduce the build-up of plaque and support dental health. The formulation is suitable for long-term use, under guidance, and is intended to complement a regular dental care routine.
How Nutraplaque Works
The mode of action of Nutraplaque is based primarily on enzymatic activity and maintenance of a favourable oral environment. Each Nutraplaque capsule contains enzyme systems (such as glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase and other supporting cofactors) that mimic or support the animal’s natural salivary defence mechanisms. The enzymes catalyse reactions that produce mild antibacterial radicals (such as hypothiocyanite), which help inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth. Over time, the reduction in bacterial activity helps slow the formation of plaque and tartar on teeth surfaces.
By limiting bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, Nutraplaque helps maintain cleaner tooth surfaces and a healthier oral microbiome. The capsule is generally administered with food or directly into the mouth, allowing the active components to reach saliva and coat the oral surfaces. Regular use encourages an oral environment less conducive to disease-causing bacteria, which contributes to fresher breath, reduced gum irritation and lower risk of dental decay or gingivitis.

Why Dental Hygiene Matters in Pets
Dental hygiene is not just about a pleasant-smelling mouth. In dogs and cats, poor oral health can lead to serious consequences:
- Plaque and tartar accumulation: Bacteria in the mouth combine with food debris and saliva to form plaque. If not removed, this hardens into tartar (calculus), which adheres firmly to teeth and is more difficult to remove.
- Gingivitis and periodontal disease: Accumulated plaque and tartar irritate and inflame the gums (gingivitis). If left untreated, the condition may progress to deeper periodontal disease, with damage to gums, ligaments, and bone supporting the teeth.
- Tooth loss and discomfort: Advanced periodontal disease may cause teeth to loosen and eventually fall out. The pain involved can reduce appetite, affect chewing, and impair quality of life.
- Systemic health risks: Oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream through inflamed gums, potentially affecting other organs such as the heart, liver or kidneys. Maintaining oral health helps reduce this bacterial load and supports overall well-being.
- Bad breath: Halitosis in pets is often a sign of underlying dental disease. While fresh breath alone is not a guarantee of excellent dental health, persistent bad breath should prompt attention.
Routine mechanical cleaning (such as brushing, dental chews or specially formulated diets) is a foundation of pet dental care. Nutritional and enzymatic support, like that provided by Nutraplaque, adds a supplementary layer of defence, helping to maintain a healthier oral environment between physical cleanings or veterinary dental procedures.
Administration and Use Guidelines
Nutraplaque is provided in capsule form. The recommended dose typically depends on the pet’s size; always follow the product label or veterinary advice. In many cases, the capsule can be opened and its contents mixed with food, or it can be given whole if the pet tolerates it. Consistent daily use tends to yield the best results over weeks to months.
It is important to maintain the product in a cool, dry place and to adhere to expiry dates for maximal enzyme activity. Dogs or cats with existing advanced dental disease should always be assessed and treated by a veterinary professional; Nutraplaque is not a substitute for scaling, extraction or deep cleaning when needed.
When used as part of a comprehensive dental care programme, Nutraplaque Capsules may help slow plaque accumulation, reduce bacterial activity in the mouth, freshen breath and inhibit progression of early gum disease. Owners may notice fewer visible deposits on teeth and a more comfortable oral environment for their pets.
Nutraplaque should not replace veterinary treatment in the presence of serious dental disease. Pets with known allergies to any ingredients should not use it. If your animal is receiving other medications or has systemic illness, seek veterinary advice before use. Monitor the pet’s response, and discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur.

Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray for Dogs - 60ml
Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray is a veterinary-formulated dental care product designed to support oral hygiene in dogs. It helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup, freshen breath, and maintain healthy gums. The spray provides an easy-to-use, no-brush alternative for maintaining a dog’s dental health.
Good oral hygiene is essential for a dog’s overall well-being. Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray delivers active ingredients that help prevent plaque accumulation and support gum health. It is particularly useful for dogs that resist traditional toothbrushing.
How Does Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray Work?
Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray is formulated with a patented antibacterial complex that helps reduce bacteria in the mouth. It targets the root cause of plaque and tartar formation by disrupting bacterial biofilm on the teeth and gums.
The spray is designed to be applied directly to the teeth and gums, where it begins working immediately. The active ingredients help slow the accumulation of plaque, reducing the risk of tartar buildup and periodontal disease. With regular use, it contributes to fresher breath and improved oral health.
Unlike some other dental products, Plaqtiv+ Oral Spray does not require brushing. The fine mist disperses evenly in the mouth, making it easy to apply. It is an ideal solution for pet owners looking for a simple, effective way to support their dog’s oral hygiene.
Buccaclean Dental Gel - 30ml
Buccaclean Dental Gel contains specific active ingredients that target the root causes of dental problems in pets. The gel works by breaking down and softening plaque and tartar, making it easier to remove through regular brushing or natural chewing. Additionally, the gel’s formula helps reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which is a major cause of gum disease and bad breath.
One of the key components of Buccaclean Dental Gel is chlorhexidine, a powerful antimicrobial agent that helps combat bacteria and inflammation in the mouth. By keeping bacterial populations under control, chlorhexidine reduces the risk of periodontal disease, a common issue in both cats and dogs. Another ingredient, sodium fluoride, supports the strengthening of tooth enamel, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
The gel is designed to be easy to apply, either directly to the pet’s gums and teeth or by using a toothbrush. For pets that are resistant to brushing, the gel can also be applied using your finger or even added to your pet’s favourite chew toy, making the application process less stressful while still delivering the necessary benefits.
