Plaqtiv+ Sticks for Dogs
Plaqtiv+ Sticks for Dogs are daily dental chews developed to help maintain your dog’s oral hygiene in a simple and effective way. Designed with the same scientifically advanced Xpersiv™ technology used across the Plaqtiv+ range, these sticks work to break down and reduce dental plaque while freshening breath and supporting gum health. They provide a convenient and enjoyable way to manage oral hygiene between professional cleanings.
How Plaqtiv+ Sticks Work
Each stick contains Xpersiv™, a unique compound that targets the biofilm layer that forms on the teeth and gums. This biofilm, if left unchecked, allows bacteria to thrive, leading to plaque formation, bad breath, and eventually tartar build-up. Xpersiv™ works by binding to the minerals in saliva and preventing them from crystallising on the teeth, helping to reduce the adherence of plaque and slowing the formation of tartar.
As your dog chews the stick, the mechanical action of chewing complements the chemical effect of Xpersiv™. This dual approach removes food particles and surface debris while the active ingredients continue to protect the teeth. The combination of texture, taste, and formulation encourages daily chewing and contributes to fresher breath and cleaner teeth without the need for brushing.
Key Benefits

- Freshens breath: Regular use helps manage bacteria that cause unpleasant odours, promoting fresher breath

- Palatable formulation: Dogs enjoy the texture and taste, making dental care less stressful for both pets and owners.
- Complements brushing and professional cleaning: While not a substitute for veterinary dental care, Plaqtiv+ Sticks enhance overall dental management.

The Importance of Good Oral Hygiene in Dogs
Dental health is an essential aspect of overall canine wellbeing. Poor oral hygiene can lead to issues beyond bad breath, including gum disease, tooth loss, and even infections that affect other organs such as the heart, kidneys, and liver. Maintaining clean teeth and healthy gums is one of the simplest ways to prevent discomfort and long-term health problems.
When plaque builds up, it hardens into tartar that cannot be removed by chewing alone. This creates an environment for bacteria to multiply, leading to gingivitis and periodontal disease. These conditions can cause pain, difficulty eating, and tooth decay. By incorporating effective oral hygiene habits, such as using Plaqtiv+ Sticks for Dogs, you can help prevent these problems before they develop.
Regular dental care can also have visible benefits. Dogs with clean teeth and healthy gums often have brighter smiles, fresher breath, and improved comfort during eating. Good oral hygiene supports not only your pet’s health but also their quality of life.
Daily Dental Care Routine
A consistent dental care routine should include a combination of mechanical and chemical cleaning methods. Brushing remains the most effective way to clean teeth, but not all dogs tolerate brushing easily. Products such as Plaqtiv+ Sticks for Dogs offer an alternative or supplementary method that fits into a busy routine.
You can use the sticks alongside Plaqtiv+ Water Additive or Plaqtiv+ Toothpaste for a comprehensive approach. Offering a chew daily can help maintain a healthy mouth between veterinary visits and professional cleanings.
Product Use and Guidance
Give one Plaqtiv+ Stick daily, ensuring your dog has access to fresh drinking water. Always supervise your dog while chewing to ensure safe consumption. The product is suitable for most adult dogs, though it is best to choose the appropriate size of stick for your dog’s breed and chewing habits.
These sticks are designed to complement a balanced diet and veterinary dental advice. Regular dental check-ups are still recommended to monitor your dog’s oral health and to identify any developing issues early.
