Frequently Asked Questions
 

Why is it important to have my pet’s teeth cleaned regularly?

Like people, pets need regular dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. If not removed, this buildup may lead to periodontal disease and more serious health problems.

I feed my pet a dental diet or dental chews. Isn’t that enough to keep its teeth clean?

Dental diets and dental chews can scrape off plaque above the gum line to varying degrees, but do little to remove plaque under the gum line. OraVet prevents bacteria from adhering to your pet’s teeth, so it significantly reduces plaque and tartar formation above and below the gum line.

Is the OraVet System safe for my pet?

Absolutely. OraVet Barrier Sealant and OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel are non-toxic and may be used in pets of any age.

If I brush my pet’s teeth regularly, should I still use OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel?

Yes. The gel is effective with or without regular brushing and it’s easy to integrate into your regular pet dental care routine. Simply apply the gel once a week as directed.

Why does my veterinarian use and recommend OraVet?

OraVet has been clinically proven to significantly reduce plaque and tartar formation. What’s more, easy once-a-week application makes it convenient for pet owners to use.

Where can I buy OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel?

The OraVet system is available exclusively through your veterinarian.
