Dr. Tim’s Pet Food has launched Dental Dust, a daily oral <a href="https://healthylife7.com/ai-is-reshaping-clinical-nutrition-precision-therapy-venture-capital-and-the-food-as/” title=”AI Is Reshaping Clinical Nutrition: Precision Therapy, Venture Capital, and the Food-as”>nutrition supplement formulated to support long-term dental health in dogs and cats
“Feed. Smile. Repeat.” is the philosophy behind the product, a daily habit designed to fit seamlessly into mealtime. Unlike traditional dental chews or brushing routines, Dental Dust is designed to be sprinkled directly onto a pet’s regular food, offering pet owners a simple way to build oral care into their daily routine
The new sprinkle-on supplement, which supports gum health, fresher breath, and reduced plaque, is available on the Dr. Tim’s website
Addressing a Widespread Health Issue
Dental disease is the most common health issue particularly among dogs, affecting more than 80% of dogs by age three. Left unaddressed, plaque hardens into tartar, leading to gingivitis, periodontal disease, and a range of downstream health issues, including elevated risks to the heart, liver, and kidneys from chronic oral bacteria and inflammation
“Dental health is one of the most overlooked areas of a dog’s overall wellness,” said Dr. Timothy Hunt, founder and DVM at Dr. Tim’s Pet Food. “We wanted to move beyond the idea that dental health means scrubbing teeth after the damage is already done. Dental Dust works with the body, not just the mouth, to support healthier gums and a balanced oral microbiome every single day. It’s dental care built into a bowl of food, not another chore for pet owners.”
A Nutritional Approach to Oral Care
Dental Dust is built around functional proteins and bioactive ingredients that work systemically, not just mechanically, to support a healthier mouth:
- Porcine Plasma Proteins – Naturally occurring immunoglobulins and bioactive peptides that support the mouth’s natural immune defenses, extending benefits from the mouth to the digestive tract.
- PRIOME OC (ADM’s Oral Care Postbiotic) – A clinically studied, heat-treated postbiotic (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CECT 9161) shown to help reduce dental plaque formation and support a balanced oral microbiome.
- North Atlantic Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) – A well-studied natural ingredient whose bioactive compounds are absorbed during digestion and secreted into saliva, helping make the oral environment less hospitable to plaque and tartar buildup.
- Freeze-Dried Beef Liver – Added for palatability, ensuring pets enjoy their daily scoop.
Together, these ingredients target the root cause of dental disease: biofilm. If left undisturbed, biofilm can calcify into tartar within 24 to 48 hours. By supporting a healthier oral microbiome and balanced inflammatory response from the inside out, Dental Dust aims to slow this cycle before it starts
“So many pet owners think bad breath is just something you live with. It’s not and it’s often the first sign of a bigger problem. Dental Dust gives owners an easy way to support their pet’s health at every meal, without an extra step, an extra chew, or a fight at the sink.”
