PlaqueOff dental care
PlaqueOff is a dental care range for dogs and cats built around a seaweed extract, sold as chewable bones and bites as well as the original powder added to food. We stock a selection across both the dog and cat ranges, as an easy way to support dental care alongside — not instead of — regular brushing.
What the range includes
Our stock covers chewable options such as Plaqueoff Dental Bones and Mini Bones in a couple of flavours, alongside the cat-specific Proden Plaqueoff Dental Bites and a cat creme. These are designed to be a straightforward daily addition — a treat-style chew or a small daily amount — rather than something that needs any special routine to use.
The appeal for a lot of owners is that it works as a chew or an addition to food rather than a brushing session, which suits a cat or an older, less tolerant dog better than a toothbrush does. It sits in our health and grooming and dental care ranges alongside brushing kits and other dental chews.
Where it fits alongside brushing
No chew, powder or treat replaces brushing as the single most effective thing you can do for a dog or cat's teeth, and PlaqueOff is best thought of as a helpful addition rather than a substitute. For a pet who tolerates brushing, use both; for one who genuinely will not accept a toothbrush, a daily dental chew or additive is a reasonable second-best.
If your dog or cat already has visible dental disease, heavy tartar, or sore or bleeding gums, that needs a vet's attention rather than home management alone — dental products like this are for maintaining a mouth that is already reasonably healthy, not treating one that is not.

Common questions
- Does PlaqueOff replace brushing my dog's teeth?
- No, brushing remains the single most effective thing you can do for dental health, and PlaqueOff is best used alongside it rather than instead of it. For a pet that genuinely will not tolerate a toothbrush, it is a reasonable second-best rather than a full replacement.
- Can I give PlaqueOff to a cat?
- Yes, the range includes cat-specific products such as dental bites and a creme, formulated differently from the dog chews. Always use the product made for the species rather than assuming a dog chew is suitable for a cat.
- How long does it take to see a difference in tartar?
- This varies between individual animals and how much tartar is already present, and manufacturers typically suggest looking for a difference over several weeks of consistent daily use rather than expecting an instant change. Existing heavy tartar usually needs a vet's attention rather than a home product alone.
- My dog has bad breath — will PlaqueOff fix it?
- It may help if the cause is everyday plaque build-up, but persistent bad breath can also signal dental disease, a digestive issue or something else that needs a vet's attention. If it does not improve or your dog shows other signs like sore gums or reluctance to eat, see your vet rather than relying on a dental product alone.
