Regardless of your pet’s age or history, it’s never too late to start a dental care routine. Speak to your vet for advice, as they can help you establish a tailor-made routine for your pet.
Remember, just like in humans, a combination of dental home care methods will increase the effects.
Click the buttons below to see how different Plaqtiv+ products can fit into a dental care routine. If you’re looking to start a new routine for your pet, speak to your vet for individual advice.

This is the perfect time to start a dental care routine – it will take patience and practice!
Start with the spray and then the wipes to get them used to having their mouth handled.
Gradually work up to toothbrushing daily with the toothpaste.

Use the water additive or sticks daily.
Both can be used together for maximum effect on dental plaque and tartar.

If you find toothbrushing tricky to do daily, simply add in other products.
Use the water additive daily, so it’s always there when your pet needs it, and/or use the sticks on days that you miss brushing.

The water additive can be used at least one month before the procedure, as well as during the recovery period when the mouth is healing.

This leaflet is intended to educate pet owners about why home dental care matters, and illustrate how Plaqtiv+ could fit into their pet’s dental journey.
Studies of the Plaqtiv+ water additive have shown no evidence of adverse events related to consumption of the water additive, even at 5 times the recommended dose.
Yes – the Plaqtiv+ water additive can be used in multi-dog or multi-cat households, as well as households with both dogs and cats.
The Plaqtiv+ water additive is suitable for both animals. It is also used at the same concentration regardless of the pet’s size or breed. Small pets drink less, and so will naturally ingest less product than larger pets.
Sunlight has no effect on the active ingredients of Plaqtiv+.
There is no limit on how long water containing the Plaqtiv+ water additive can be left out, although it’s best to change your pet’s water regularly.
