With dozens of dental chew options available on the market, it can sometimes be difficult to find a chew that your dog loves and can also benefit from. Ark Naturals Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste makes the decision easy for you. Made with astaxanthin, this dental chew is backed by science and specifically formulated with your dog’s oral health in mind.

What is Astaxanthin? 

Astaxanthin is widely regarded as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants—and for good reason. 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C and derived naturally from red algae, astaxanthin has been shown to help cardiovascular health, mobility, immune function, weight management, skin & coat health, and more in dogs. 

When used in dental products such as Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste, astaxanthin has been proven to reduce plaque and tartar buildup, as well as help to fight against dental and periodontal disease by supporting a healthy oral microbiome. 

Ark Naturals Clinical Trial Results

In fact, Protection+ Brushless Toothpaste’s efficacy was recently proven to reduce plaque buildup by 15.2% and tartar buildup by 78.4% in an independent study. That makes it 30% more effective than the leading dog dental chew in reducing tartar. 

On top of that, the study also found greater diversity in dogs who received Protection+ daily’s overall microbiome than those who did not. Because periodontal disease is widely believed to occur due to microbial shifts, Protection+ is the perfect dental chew to support a healthy mouth and fight against bad, disease-causing bacteria.
