ProDen PlaqueOff® Cat Powder from SwedencareUSA
Most cat parents know that dental care is one of the most important but overlooked health issues for our furry felines. This is largely due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to care for our kitty’s teeth at home. BUT, this can all change with Swedencare ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder – a patented natural powder supplement made from 100% sea kelp that aids in good oral hygiene by decreasing plaque build up. Easily sprinkled on food, this powder is free from additives, artificial preservatives, gluten and sugar.
Since cats are known for having a more discerning palate, brewer’s yeast is added to the powder – an ingredient most cats find irresistible. Sprinkled over wet or dry food daily, this tasty formula can significantly complement cat’s ordinary dental hygiene by helping to clean plaque and tartar buildup.
ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat (40 g)
$ 16.00
ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat is a tasty formula especially made for the discerning feline. Used daily, this completely natural product made from seaweed can significantly complement your cat’s regular oral hygiene.
Dental care is unfortunately one of the most overlooked health issues pet owners are concerned with. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat is a patented natural feed supplement which aids in good oral hygiene. Like all ProDen PlaqueOff® products, ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat is made from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum . Since cats are known for having a more discerning palate, we have added brewer’s yeast to this product – an ingredient which most cats love. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat has proven to be irresistible to a panel of cat critics. Prior to the product launch, a palatability test was performed at Laboratories Le Centre de Sourches in France. The result: 100% acceptance.
ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat provides an easy complement to ordinary oral hygiene. This product is 100% natural sea kelp, sustainably harvested along the North Atlantic coast. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder Cat is free from additives and artificial preservatives and contains no gluten or added sugar.
