The composition of the VET AQUADENT solution is renewed.
Developed by veterinarians, VET AQUADENT™ is a tasty solution added to drinking water that prevents plaque and tartar build-up and freshens breath.

- Pomegranate: Cleanses and helps prevent plaque formation on teeth with antioxidant and antiaggregating effects. (5,6,7)
- Inulin: Balances intestinal microflora and reduces bad intestinal gas emissions (8,9)
