Vetoquinol Enzadent Oral Care Dog Chews, Petite
100% NATURAL BEEF HIDES
TO CLEAN AND POLISH TEETH
After your pet finishes a meal, tiny food particles combine with bacteria to form plaque. Plaque, if not removed, eventually hardens into calculus or tartar, and can ultimately lead to periodontal disease. If left untreated, periodontal disease is the single greatest cause of health problems in pets. Regular veterinary check-ups and professional dental cleanings are an important first defense in controlling and preventing periodontal disease. Routine home dental care is equally important in helping keep your pet and their teeth healthy. Simply brushing food debris and plaque from the teeth and gumline can greatly reduce the chance of tartar build-up, periodontal disease, and bad breath.
Enzadent Oral Care Chews combine enzymes found naturally in your pet’s saliva with the natural abrading action of beefhide to help remove food debris before it becomes a problem.
Remember, your pet depends on you and your veterinarian for all its health care. Ask your veterinarian about the many different home oral care options available to you.

Frequently ask questions
Years of research by food scientists, chemists, pet nutritionists and veterinarians go into the development of commercially-prepared pet food and these foods are manufactured to offer pets the healthiest and safest food possible. There are several risks associated with homemade pet food. For example, improperly cooked or raw food carries a high risk of bacterial contamination, which can be inadvertently transferred to the human family members in the household. It is also difficult to regulate the nutrients in homemade food which may mean your pet gets too much or too little in the way of vitamins and minerals. Too much calcium, for example, can result in growth problems, particularly for puppies and kittens, while too little calcium can cause weak bones that are susceptible to breaks.
Dog and cat food is designed to meet the special dietary needs of each species. Cats and dogs should not share food or eat the other’s food because it will not provide the pet with the appropriate essential nutrients.
There are two options for feeding schedules. Some pet owners feed their cats and dogs “free choice”, meaning a set amount of food is put out and the pets can eat throughout the day. Alternatively, you can provide a set amount of food at specific meal times during the day. If you are uncertain about how often you should feed your pet, consult with your veterinarian.
It is not generally necessary to change your pet’s food. Pets like routine, including eating the same food every day. If you need to change their food, perhaps because your veterinarian has recommended a specially formulated food, it is best to change it gradually. Start by mixing some of the new food in with your pet’s current food. Over the next three to five days, gradually increase the amount of new pet food and decrease the amount of current food. This process will help your pet adapt to the new food and reduce the likelihood of an upset stomach.
Dogs and cats should typically be bathed once a month. Outdoor cats or pets with specific needs (e.g., fleas) may require more frequent baths. Over-bathing can dry their skin, so use moisturizing shampoos if needed.
Puppies/kittens need calorie-dense food for growth. Adult and senior pets require age-specific formulas. Check labels for AAFCO life-stage compliance.
Kittens/Puppies: Every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks old.
Adults: Annual checkups.
Seniors (7+ years): Biannual visits.
Pet owners should always first consult their veterinarian should their pet become ill. This is especially important in the case of a veterinary medical emergency. A veterinarian can treat and stabilize the pet and work to diagnose the cause of health issues. If the food is a suspected source of the issue, the pet owner should contact the company listed on the label. Pet food companies want to hear from their customers, especially if an issue is suspected. Most companies have an incidence reporting system where they can track whether there has been more than one incident reported. Pet owners should retain the original packaging, and any unconsumed product if possible. Unopened containers of product from the same lot can be particularly helpful. Pet food companies need specific product information — including brand name, product name, and lot code, all of which can be found on the product packaging — to help determine if there is an issue. It will also be helpful to put the pet food company in contact with the veterinarian who treated the pet. Pet owners can also notify their retailer that they have a concern.
