Educational guidance only — it does not diagnose or treat. Your veterinary surgeon is the only person who can assess your pet's mouth.

Why the mouth matters

Your pet's mouth is keeping a secret.

Problems hide behind closed lips — and plaque starts hardening fast. A little, done daily, beats a lot done occasionally.

12.5% dogs · 15.2% cats

in the UK are diagnosed with periodontal disease in a single year (RVC VetCompass).

48–72 hours

is roughly how long soft plaque takes to begin hardening into tartar.

When to see your vet

Loose teeth, swelling, discharge, bleeding, reluctance to eat, dropping food, drooling or pawing at the mouth? Contact your veterinary surgeon promptly. Home care supports professional care — it never replaces it.

The Petdentist Daily System

Five steps. One calm routine.

Pick one thing from each step and you have a complete plan.

Clean

Brush, or use textured finger wipes for brush-shy pets.

Support

A daily dental powder over food, to help reduce plaque build-up.

Maintain

A tasteless water additive to help freshen breath, plus safe toys.

Monitor

A weekly lip-lift — and soon PetPulse Dental, a non-diagnostic tracker.

Professional care

A veterinary dental check at least once a year.

Science led · Evidence graded

We'd rather tell you what we don't know than sell you what we can't prove.

Every claim carries an evidence grade, every article names its author and reviewer, and no dog result is ever borrowed for a cat.

How we grade evidence

A
Product-specific controlled trial
B
Strain- or species-specific study in dogs or cats
C
Species mechanistic evidence
D
Laboratory (in-vitro) evidence
E
Theoretical rationale

The strength of a claim never exceeds the strength of its evidence. Biodontic™, Odovyx™ and an independent advisory board keep us honest.

Our story

It started with a dog called Jippy.

In 1986 our family lost Jippy, aged twelve, to complications linked to chronic, untreated gum disease. That loss shaped everything that followed.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

What is PetdentistCare™?

PetdentistCare™ is the global platform of Petdentist®, the specialist pet oral health brand founded in 2015 by Dr Deepak Songra BDS. It brings together nine divisions — products, science, ingredients, technology, a clinic directory, professional education, a subscription club, equine care and insurance comparison — so that everything about a pet's mouth can be found in one trusted place.

Is Petdentist® a veterinary service?

No. Petdentist® makes non-medicinal oral-hygiene products and complementary feeds for healthy pets, and publishes evidence-graded education. Our founder is a human dental surgeon, not a veterinary surgeon. Only your vet can examine, diagnose or treat your pet. Our Petdentist CLINICS directory helps you find veterinary dental care near you.

Where can I buy Petdentist® products?

In the UK at petdentist.co.uk (and Amazon UK and eBay), and in the UAE at petdentist.ae, Amazon.ae and Noon. Use the country selector to go to the right store with the right currency, delivery and local information.

Do Petdentist® products treat gum disease or bad breath?

No product on this site diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents any disease. Our products are designed to support normal daily oral hygiene in healthy pets — helping to reduce plaque build-up, helping to keep tartar from building up, freshening breath and supporting healthy gums as part of a routine that always includes veterinary care.

How do I start a daily oral-care routine for my dog or cat?

Use the routine finder on this page. It turns your pet's species, life stage and how they feel about brushing into a simple five-step routine: Clean, Support, Maintain, Monitor and Professional Care. Most pet parents start with a gentle wipe or finger brush, a daily dental powder over food and a tasteless water additive, then build up to brushing.
