Plaqaid Toothpaste for Dogs and Cats
Plaqaid Toothpaste is a veterinary formulated toothpaste designed to help maintain clean teeth, fresh breath, and healthy gums in dogs and cats. Regular dental care is essential for preventing plaque build-up and reducing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. Plaqaid Toothpaste provides an easy and effective way to improve your pet’s oral hygiene as part of a daily routine.
How Plaqaid Toothpaste works
Plaqaid Toothpaste contains scientifically developed ingredients that work to reduce the formation of plaque and tartar. It helps break down the biofilm (a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on teeth) and prevents it from hardening into calculus. Regular use limits the bacteria responsible for bad breath and gum irritation, leaving your pet’s mouth cleaner and fresher.
Unlike human toothpaste, Plaqaid Toothpaste is safe if swallowed. It does not contain fluoride or foaming agents, which can be harmful to pets. The mild formulation ensures it can be used daily without causing irritation to sensitive mouths. The taste is palatable to both dogs and cats, making brushing a more positive experience for both pet and owner. Pack Size: 1 x 70g tube of PLAQAID® TOOTHPASTE in a box, with 1 x Bamboo Toothbrush and 1 x Finger Brush provided.

Description
The importance of dental care in pets
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems seen in dogs and cats. Without regular care, bacteria in the mouth form plaque, which hardens into tartar on the teeth. Over time, this can irritate the gums and lead to inflammation, known as gingivitis. If untreated, it may progress to periodontal disease, where infection spreads below the gumline and damages the structures supporting the teeth. This can cause pain, tooth loss, and even affect internal organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys through bacterial spread.
Bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, or pawing at the mouth are all signs of potential dental issues. Prevention through daily brushing is far easier and less stressful than treatment. Incorporating Plaqaid Toothpaste into your pet’s dental routine helps remove soft plaque before it hardens and supports the long-term health of their teeth and gums.
Gentle yet effective formula
Plaqaid Toothpaste is gentle enough for everyday use and strong enough to maintain oral hygiene. The formulation helps:
- Reduce plaque and tartar build-up
- Control the bacteria that cause bad breath
- Support healthy gums and tooth enamel
- Promote a cleaner mouth between professional dental check-ups
- Regular brushing with Plaqaid Toothpaste supports the mechanical removal of debris and bacteria. When used with a soft pet toothbrush, it provides effective cleaning action that reaches areas brushing alone cannot fully manage.
Consistency is key when it comes to dental hygiene. Establishing a daily brushing routine from a young age helps pets become comfortable with the process. For adult pets new to brushing, introduce the toothpaste gradually. Start by letting them lick a small amount from your finger before moving to gentle brushing. Using Plaqaid Toothpaste with a pet-friendly toothbrush ensures thorough cleaning while being kind to your pet’s mouth.
Brushing should focus on the outer surfaces of the teeth where plaque accumulates most. A small, circular motion works best. Even brushing a few teeth each day can make a significant difference over time.
Maintaining good dental hygiene has benefits that extend beyond the mouth. A healthy oral environment supports your pet’s immune system and can reduce the risk of systemic infections. Pets with clean teeth tend to eat more comfortably and maintain better nutrition, contributing to improved energy and vitality.
Owners who incorporate Plaqaid Toothpaste into a consistent dental care routine often notice fresher breath, cleaner teeth and improved overall comfort in their pets. Professional dental cleaning at the vet may still be required occasionally, but regular home care helps to extend the time between procedures and maintain results.
Plaqaid Toothpaste is suitable for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. It can be used as part of a broader oral care routine that includes dental chews, water additives, or oral sprays. Its gentle formulation makes it ideal for both small and large breeds, and for pets with sensitive gums or mouths.
Tips for effective dental care
- Brush your pet’s teeth once daily or at least three times per week.
- Always use a toothbrush designed for pets, such as a dual-ended veterinary toothbrush.
- Avoid using human toothpaste.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups with your vet.
- Combine brushing with other oral care products such as water additives for enhanced results.

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.
Plaqtiv+ Water Additive for Dogs and Cats - 500ml
Plaqtiv+ Water Additive is a daily dental care solution designed for both dogs and cats. Plaqtiv+ offers a practical and effective way to support oral hygiene without brushing. The formula is clear, tasteless, and odourless, making it simple to add to your pet’s water bowl without causing disruption to their routine. Suitable for everyday use, Plaqtiv+ helps reduce plaque formation and supports overall dental health.
Plaqtiv+ contains Xpersiv™, a scientifically developed molecule that works by targeting the minerals in your pet’s mouth that contribute to plaque and tartar. Xpersiv™ binds to the minerals found in saliva, which are essential to the formation of plaque. By capturing and neutralising these minerals before they can adhere to the teeth, the additive disrupts the early stages of plaque buildup. This preventative action helps protect your pet’s teeth and gums over time.
The mechanism of Plaqtiv+ is non-abrasive and non-enzymatic. It does not rely on scrubbing or chemical breakdown of plaque once formed, but instead works earlier in the process. By acting in the saliva, it intercepts the cycle of plaque accumulation before it can harden into tartar. Regular use helps to reduce the presence of oral bacteria, which are responsible for bad breath and can contribute to gum disease.
