Oral Health Flakes for Dogs

Introduction: A Smarter Way to Support Canine Dental Health

Dental disease is one of the most common yet overlooked health issues in dogs. Plaque buildup, tartar, and bad breath can quickly progress to gingivitis and periodontal disease—often without obvious early signs. Ceva Clenz-A-Dent ProDen PlaqueOff® Oral Health Flakes for Dogs are designed to support daily oral hygiene from the inside out, offering pet owners a convenient, science-backed addition to routine dental care.

This article explains how PlaqueOff works, who it’s for, how to use it safely, and how it fits into a complete canine oral health plan.

What Is Ceva Clenz-A-Dent ProDen PlaqueOff®?

ProDen PlaqueOff® Oral Health Flakes are a daily dental supplement for dogs made from a specific type of natural seaweed. When added to food, the flakes work systemically—through saliva—to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup over time.

How ProDen PlaqueOff® Works

Unlike chews or brushing alone, PlaqueOff targets plaque formation internally.

Mechanism of Action

  • The active seaweed ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream
  • It is secreted into saliva
  • Saliva composition changes, making plaque less likely to adhere to teeth
  • Existing tartar gradually softens, supporting natural removal

This systemic approach makes PlaqueOff especially useful for dogs that resist tooth brushing.

How It Compares

A multi-modal approach delivers the best oral health outcomes.
