Ingredient Benefits
Peppermint Essential Oil
Makes your dog's breath minty fresh and is extremely effective at
killing anaerobic bacteria, the type of bacteria that thrives in a low oxygen environment such as the mouth - protecting your dog's mouth from gum disease.
Pure Baking Soda
Highly alkaline, and because of this it creates an environment that is not favorable to bacteria while neutralizing acids in the mouth (acids cause tooth decay and dental cavities).
For centuries baking soda has worked to naturally whiten teeth and freshen breath. It's abrasive enough to wash your dog's teeth of oral plaque without deteriorating their tooth enamel.
Sea Salt
Packed with minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sodium, nickel, iodine & iron) that reduces inflammation, strengthens gums, and neutralizes acids while being abrasive enough to clean but not damage the tooth enamel.
Sea salt also increases the production of saliva allowing your dog's natural antibacterials to safeguard their enamel.

How To Clean Your Dog's Teeth
Introducing oral care to your dog takes time and patience. The key is to start slow and make the experience positive. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process using 4-Legger Dental Powder:
- Start early: It's best to start brushing your dog's teeth when they are still a puppy. This will help them get used to the sensation and make it part of their daily routine.
- Choose the right time: Find a time when your dog is relaxed and calm, such as after a walk or play session. Avoid cleaning their teeth when they are overly excited or tired as it typically won't go well.
- Select the location: Identify where you are going to clean their teeth and keep the location consistent so they know and understand what to expect.
- Start with your finger: For the first few sessions, use your finger to get your dog used to the sensation of having their teeth brushed. Gently rub your finger along their gums and teeth in a circular motion. The first session may be just a few quick seconds. Each session should increase the time until they are used to the sensation. Go to Step #8 after each session!
- Introduce the cleaning technique: Once your dog is comfortable with your finger, it’s time to start cleaning. Building on the same technique of using your finger, add a small piece of damp gauze over your fingertip and repeat the session to allow your dog to get used to the new sensation of the gauze. Remember when you clean your dog's teeth to not press in to the teeth. You are simply cleaning - not trying to scrape anything off the teeth.
- Gently brush in a circular motion: Hold your gauze-covered finger at a 45-degree angle to your dog's teeth and gently brush in a circular motion. Focus on the gum line and all surfaces of the teeth.
- Introduce the tooth powder: Now that they have gotten used to the sensation of rubbing and gentle agitation, it is time to introduce the dental powder! Pour a tiny amount (pea size) of dental powder into your other palm. Dip your finger with the damp gauze into the powder and rub along the gum line and in a circular motion on the teeth to gently agitate.
- Reward and praise: After each successful toothbrushing session, reward your dog with a high value treat, praise, and affection to positively reinforce the experience. I stress that you should give a high value treat over the usual treat. Dogs absolutely know the difference between a high value reward and your run of the mill reward. If you can make this reward so special that they ONLY get it after teeth brushing, even better!
