Clinical Veterinary Indications

• Prophylaxis and management of dental plaque, calculus (tartar), and tooth decay in dogs and cats.

• Management of gingival inflammation, redness, and marginal gingivitis.

• Treatment of chronic halitosis (offensive mouth odor) caused by oral dysbiosis.

• Routine daily oral hygiene for pets that resist mechanical toothbrushing.

• Post-ultrasonic dental scaling home care to re-establish a healthy, protective oral microbiome.

Directions for Use & Administration Protocol

For oral mucosal administration in dogs and cats:

Daily Dosage:

• Standard Dosage (All Breeds & Sizes): Administer 0.25 ml per day (equivalent to exactly 7 drops).

• Therapy Duration: Typically administered for 7 to 10 consecutive days, or continuously as directed by your veterinarian for chronic maintenance.

Step-by-Step Administration Guide:

1. Shake Well: Vigorously shake the bottle before every application to ensure an even suspension of probiotic cultures.

2. Dispense: Release 7 drops onto a clean spoon or draw directly into the calibrated dropper.

3. Application: Administer directly onto the pet's tongue, along the inner gum margin, or inside the cheek pouch, preferably after the evening meal.

4. The 30-Minute Water & Food Window: Do not provide food or drinking water for 30 minutes following administration. This resting period allows the beneficial probiotic bacteria to adhere to oral mucosal tissues and tooth enamel surfaces without being rinsed away.

5. Bottle Closure: Securely tighten the cap immediately after dispensing to preserve internal suspension stability.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Storage

• 17-Day Stability Warning: Because this formulation contains live, viable freeze-dried probiotic strains in a specialized suspension base, discard any unused solution after 17 days from the initial opening of the bottle.

• Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep the container tightly closed.

• Complementary Oral Care: Probiotic drops defend against plaque, tartar, and bacteria; they do not remove pre-existing heavy calcified calculus, which requires veterinary ultrasonic scaling.

• Safety & Keep Out of Reach: Formulated strictly for veterinary animal use. Keep out of reach of children and domestic pets.
