PLAQUE SPRAY
In Stock
Petkin Plaque Spray Cool Mint 120ml by Petkin is a cutting-edge, brush-free oral care solution specifically formulated to combat one of the most prevalent and often overlooked health threats in companion animals: the progressive build-up of dental plaque and tartar. Left unaddressed, plaque accumulation on your canine companion's or feline friend's teeth provides the ideal environment for bacterial proliferation, leading to gingivitis, periodontal disease, chronic halitosis, and ultimately irreversible tooth loss. Petkin Plaque Spray targets this problem directly at the source, delivering a multi-action oral formula that cleans, freshens, brightens, and protects your pet's mouth with every use, and without the resistance and stress that typically accompany toothbrushing routines. Safe for daily use on dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens from as young as six weeks of age, this veterinarian-approved spray makes professional-standard dental hygiene accessible, effortless, and enjoyable for both pet and parent. Animeal is proud to offer Petkin Plaque Spray Cool Mint 120ml as part of its trusted selection of daily wellness and grooming products for your beloved companion.
Ingredients:
Water: Serves as the purified aqueous carrier base, ensuring uniform distribution of all active ingredients across tooth and gum surfaces upon application.
Glycerine (Glycerol): Glycerine functions as a humectant and solvent within the formulation, maintaining the spray's smooth, non-irritating texture and helping active ingredients maintain contact with tooth surfaces for longer. It also contributes a mild sweetness that improves palatability, encouraging acceptance in even the more reluctant of canine and feline patients.
Zinc Gluconate: Zinc gluconate is a bioavailable form of zinc that plays a critical role in the suppression of volatile sulphur compound (VSC) production, which is the primary biochemical driver of chronic bad breath in pets. At the molecular level, zinc ions precipitate the sulphur-containing compounds produced by anaerobic oral bacteria, neutralising malodour at its source rather than simply masking it. Zinc also reinforces the integrity of the gingival epithelium, supporting healthy gum tissue and reducing susceptibility to bacterial infiltration.
Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC): Cetylpyridinium chloride is a quaternary ammonium-class antiseptic with well-established efficacy against the broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative oral bacteria responsible for plaque biofilm formation. CPC disrupts microbial cell membranes, causing loss of intracellular contents and rendering bacteria non-viable. By inhibiting the formation and re-accumulation of the salivary pellicle that anchors plaque to enamel surfaces, CPC delivers lasting antimicrobial protection between applications, actively reducing the rate of tartar mineralisation over time.
Aloe Vera Gel (Aloe barbadensis): Aloe vera gel contributes potent anti-inflammatory and soothing properties to the formulation. Its polysaccharide constituents, primarily acemannan, modulate the inflammatory cytokine response in irritated or inflamed gingival tissue, alleviating redness, swelling, and discomfort associated with early periodontal disease. Aloe's natural mucilaginous quality also supports mucosal hydration, keeping delicate oral tissues resilient and well-protected.
Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate): Sodium bicarbonate is a mild, safe abrasive and pH-buffering agent. At the enamel surface level, it mechanically disrupts and lifts plaque deposits through gentle micro-abrasive action, while simultaneously neutralising the acidic oral environment that accelerates enamel demineralisation and supports bacterial survival. Regular use of baking soda in oral formulations is clinically associated with progressive brightening and whitening of stained tooth enamel.
Mint Flavor (Cool Mint): Beyond delivering the signature cool, refreshing scent that leaves your pet's breath noticeably fresher, the cool mint flavour compounds contain naturally occurring antimicrobial properties that complement the action of the primary active ingredients, further suppressing odour-causing microbial populations in the oral cavity.
Potassium Sorbate and Methylparaben: These preservative agents maintain the microbiological stability and shelf integrity of the formula, ensuring the product remains safe, potent, and free from external contamination throughout its shelf life.
Malic Acid: Malic acid acts as a chelating and pH-adjusting agent. It supports the dissolution and softening of existing tartar deposits by chelating calcium ions within mineralised plaque, helping to loosen hardened calculus and making it easier for the formula's cleansing agents to clear the tooth surface. It also assists in maintaining an optimal pH range within the formulation for maximum ingredient efficacy.
