Although not always essential, we recommend brushing teeth once daily (with no toothpaste) alongside LUCAA+ Dental Spray as this can quicken results. Brushing your pet's teeth, alongside using our LUCAA+ probiotic Dental Care Spray, are both important aspects of maintaining your pet's dental health. The core ingredient in LUCAA+ Dental Care is healthy ‘good’ bacteria (probiotics), naturally sourced from plants. The helpful probiotics quickly restore healthy microflora balance to the mouth. They clean teeth and gums at a microbial level, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and foster better dental health. This reduces plaque and tartar build up and bad breath, as well as the risk of inflammation and periodontal disease. For best results, clean the teeth once daily with a toothbrush designed for dogs or cats (no toothpaste). Clean from the back towards the front, both the upper and lower row. If your pet does not like brushing, use gauze wrapped around your finger or a small clean cloth or handkerchief instead. (The requirement for brushing can vary depending on breed, diet and general health history. For some dogs it can be essential, for others it may just be precautionary). Next use the probiotic Dental Care Spray. Shake the bottle well before use. Lift the lip and spray a few pumps of the spray directly onto the teeth and gums. Allow your pet to lick their lips, to help distribute the probiotic solution throughout their mouth. You can also use a pipette, toothbrush or cloth to apply the spray. The probiotics will be actively working between these applications. For best results ensure tartar is first removed by a vet if required – particularly in older animals. Remember that dental care is an ongoing process, and consistency is key. Regular brushing, along with the use of the dental care spray and routine veterinary dental check-ups, will contribute to your pet’s oral health and overall well-being. NOTE: LUCAA+ Pet Dental Spray is suitable for all animals, including horses, ferrets and rabbits.
