How DentaMax™ Works
DentaMax™ works systemically, not mechanically. After your pet eats it, the Ascophyllum nodosum is absorbed and secreted through saliva. In the mouth, it disrupts the bacterial adhesion process that allows plaque biofilm to form on tooth surfaces. Less plaque-forming means less tartar mineralising, less gum inflammation and better breath over time.
Most pet owners report a noticeable improvement in breath within 3–4 weeks. Visible reduction in plaque and tartar typically takes 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use.

Is There Evidence Behind It?
Yes. The efficacy of Ascophyllum nodosum in reducing plaque accumulation and calculus formation in dogs is supported by a published randomised controlled clinical trial (Gawor et al., Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 2018 — PubMed PMID: 25511384). The active ingredient in DentaMax™ is the same clinically studied seaweed used in products that have earned Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) recognition internationally.
