I saw by one of your updates a few years back that she was able to go without it by the time of the update, for six months. With our product, you get both an easy and flexible way to take of your pets dental care at home - just sprinkle the powder over food, give some bites as a treat or reward your pet with a bone to relax with. And I mix it with his wet food no watering it down along with half a tsp of mashed pumpkin at morning feeding. My veterinarian told me that this disease is usually found in cats with FIV and my cat was tested and has FIV. She has also been very ginger when playing with her toys (she stopped carrying them around) and will sometimes rub her face of things as to massage her poor gums.

I read one article about a study using lactoferrin 40mg/kg (from Colostrum) having a beneficial effect in this disease. It has worked well on one cat, but not another (although neither has been diagnosed with stomatitis). If tartar build-up is left untreated it can result in bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and premature tooth loss.

At the followup appointment, vet gave him another leukemia booster and brought up possibility of stomatitis. After your cat's teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished by your veterinarian under general anesthesia, home dental care is needed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Since kelp, including our unique ingredient, have a naturally high iodine content, we do not recommend that dogs with thyroid problems use this product.

I checked the NaturVet Kelp Help that you mentioned and see that it is not the same thing as PlaqueOff. Be aware that it really does take up to eight weeks before you will know if the PlaqueOff works or not. I don’t how you were feeding it to her before, but if you haven’t already seen it I invite you to watch the video that I made of how I feed both PlaqueOff and Lysine to my cats. We have had to give her pain meds as she had another flare up and is back again on steroids, antibiotics as well.As I stated above, I saw improvement in Lily’s symptoms of stomatitis after four weeks, and there was additional improvement after eight weeks. ProDen PlaqueOff® works with the animal's body helping existing tartar and preventing new build-up of dental plaque and tartar. Since cats are known for having a more discerning palate, it has been added to this product brewer’s yeast– an ingredient which most cats love. So even though Petsmart is across the street from Tailspin, I choose Tailspin because they get it~~ and use holistic products and such geared to pets with issues.

I know that the regular PlaqueOff product is identical, except that it does not contain brewer’s yeast for flavoring. Right away, His guardian started him on a raw food diet with some herbs and he has not had any flare ups since.She is now playing with toys by catching them in her mouth, and has caught three lizards this past week alone, which tells me that her mouth feels much better. My vet and I tried to get a photo but it hurt Lily too much to have her mouth held open so we couldn’t get a photo. We have gone from being very worried to scarcely believing how much plaque we have been able to remove in such a short space of time!

I have spent hours and hours reading about this and I am really pleased with the change it has made it my cat as well as my moms. Greta’s mom (farm cat) has lived to a ripe old age (at least 10yrs) I recently looked in her moms mouth and saw that her teeth have rotted out and there are few left, guessing it is hereditary. But, I very much wonder if the PlaqueOff, as well as the Lysine, would have been enough for Lily to keep her teeth. N one at the rescue was quite sure about her rough start to life, but we adopted her because she was the sweetest little thing. IMPORTANT– Before I continue, though, I want to state now that PlaqueOff should not be given to cats that have hyperthyroidism.My vet discussed the possibility of Lily having food allergies, but feeding her special food was not something I was willing to take on. I am wondering if anyone else has had mammary hyperplasia occur in their spayed cat and what else could be causing it. Plaqueoff is 100% kelp in the Cat/Dog form, or mostly kelp with a bit of brewer’s yeast added in the Cat form. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder for Dogs works with the animal's body helping existing tartar and preventing new build-up of dental plaque and tartar. Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss (see handout "Dental Disease in Cats" for further information).
