Dental health is an important part of your dog’s overall wellbeing. In fact, over 80% of dogs over the age of three are affected by some form of dental disease. Poor oral hygiene can cause discomfort and may affect everyday activities such as eating and grooming.
That’s why regular dental care is so important. Alongside brushing and professional dental care where needed, nutrition can play a role in supporting healthy teeth, gums and a balanced oral microbiome.
The Power of Peptides
Like the other FORRESTERS Peptide+ diets, Dental Care uses Freshtrusion HDP (Highly Digestible Protein).
This process involves cooking fresh meat and fish ingredients alongside a natural enzyme, which breaks proteins down into smaller peptides. The size of these peptides can influence how effectively protein is digested and absorbed, helping your dog make the most of the nutrients in their food.
Collagen Peptides for Healthy Gums
Hydrolysed turkey collagen peptides provide building blocks that help support healthy gum tissue.
Collagen is an important structural protein within the body, and collagen peptides are included to support gum tissue maintenance and repair while helping to support a healthy inflammatory response.
PLAQUE DEFENCE™ Blend
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Dental Care contains a Plaque Defence™ Blend, combining five ingredients selected to support oral health:
-
Sodium Hexametaphosphate – helps reduce tartar formation and tooth staining.
-
Seaweed – supports oral health and helps reduce plaque and tartar.
-
Peppermint – helps support oral hygiene and fresher breath.
-
Cranberry – helps support healthy gums and oral hygiene.
-
Green Tea Extract – provides antioxidant properties and supports a healthy oral environment.
Together, these ingredients provide a multi-functional approach to helping maintain your dog’s teeth and gums.
Fresher Breath from Within
Dental health isn't just about what's happening on the surface of the teeth.
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Dental Care also contains MOS and FOS prebiotics, which help support a healthier oral microbiome. By supporting beneficial bacteria and reducing sulphur-producing bacteria associated with unpleasant odours, they can help promote fresher breath.
Supporting the Oral Barrier
The mouth has its own natural defence system. Antimicrobial peptides, including naturally occurring peptides such as LL-37 and β-defensins, form part of the oral immune system and help support the gums' natural protective barrier.
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Dental Care is formulated with this natural defence system in mind, helping to support healthy gums and an optimal oral environment.
Hypoallergenic & Grain Free
The diet uses short-chain peptides, which have very low antigenic potential and can help minimise the risk of adverse reactions to dietary proteins.
It is also formulated without grain, making it a suitable option for dogs with grain sensitivities or intolerances.
Visible Results
In feeding trials, 93% of pet owners reported seeing a visible improvement in their dogs' oral health. This result is attributed to the product information from Dr Des Griome MVB, MBS, Kildare Vet Surgery, and should be understood as a trial finding rather than a guarantee for every dog.
A Complete Approach to Dental Care
Good dental health is about consistency. Regular brushing, professional dental care when recommended, and a suitable diet can all form part of a good oral hygiene routine.
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Dental Care brings together highly digestible protein, collagen peptides, the Plaque Defence™ Blend and prebiotics to support healthy gums, oral hygiene and fresher breath — all in one complete diet.
