Scenthound's retail line, Houndswell, launched a Daily Dental Support supplement for dogs with responsibly sourced organic kelp as the active ingredient to fight plaque and tartar, and support healthier, cleaner teeth and gums.
Foundational dental care is essential for dogs to prevent serious health issues and maintain overall well-being, and it's estimated that a high percentage of dogs—80% to 90% over the age of three—have some component of periodontal disease, which can lead to pain and systemic problems. Pet owners are increasingly seeking simple, effective solutions that dogs can enjoy enthusiastically or without fuss, ensuring dental hygiene is a stress-free part of their routine.
Houndswell's Daily Dental Support soft chews are recommended for all dogs, especially those with odorous breath.
