Maxi/Guard Oral Cleansing Gel, 4oz

MAXI/GUARD^® Oral Cleansing Gel – Veterinary dentistry’s most user-friendly and effective oral cleanser and freshener for dogs, cats, horses and exotics.

Works with or without brushing. Packaged in 4 ounce soft squeeze bottles.

How Does It Work?

Dr. Peter Emily explains in his science summary, “Zinc Ascorbate Cysteine – How Does it Work?” in Pet Veterinarian magazine that the sulfur amino acid chelates with malodorous sulfur compounds and oxidizes volatile fatty acids in the mouth. This provides a rapid (after 30 seconds) reduction of halitosis.” Dr. Emily further explains that, “Zinc ascorbate stimulates collagen production. Basically, collagen stimulation is the repair process of tissue.”

Prevention and Maintenance

You can virtually assure yourself of your pet’s good oral health if you will follow these suggestions: regular checkups and scalings (removal of plaque and calculus) by the family’s veterinarian; periodic checks of the pet’s mouth for bad breath and discolored, inflamed gums; a diet which generally avoids sweet or soft, sticky foods; and daily use of a natural oral cleansing compound such as MAXI/GUARD Oral Cleansing Gel.

Usage
Regular visits to the family veterinarian provide you with the best guarantee that your pet’s health is sound. However, you can supplement these visits with self examinations of your pet’s mouth and regular use of MAXI/GUARD Oral Cleansing Gel.

MAXI/GUARD Oral Gel may be applied to large dogs directly from the bottle applicator tip. Smaller pets, especially cats, may require, finger or swab application. This product is concentrated. Apply a small quantity (pea size droplet) to each side of the mouth when treating cats. Choose the method that makes it easiest for you and your pet to engage in a regular and pleasant program of oral cleansing.
