Dental care is hardly any dog’s favorite activity, but major dental procedures are no fun either. Read more about dog dental care below: in this article, we share more info on oral hygiene and dental care products, which can now be added to your Alvar subscription – convenient!

Getting started with dental care 🤓 🪥
The best way to prevent plaque and tartar buildup – and the health issues that follow, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease – is regular tooth brushing for your dog.
In addition to brushing, your dog’s dental and oral health can be supported with certain products that are proven effective – such as powders that contain active ingredients that prevent tartar from hardening, or chew products that create a mechanical cleaning effect on the tooth surface due to their texture.
Dental care products as part of your Alvar subscription 📦
Products that support dental health are an excellent addition to your dog’s daily balanced diet, and consistency is key when using them.
Alvar Pet Dental+ supplement is a natural seaweed-based supplement that supports your pet’s oral health with regular use. You can buy the product from our shop or add it to your subscription.
We’re pleased that through a collaboration, we can also offer our subscription customers selected dental health products to complement Alvar’s tailored diet.
The selected PlaqueOff products have received approval from the recognized group of veterinarians specializing in dental disease (Veterinary Oral Health Council, VOHC), meaning their effectiveness in preventing plaque and tartar has been demonstrated through rigorous clinical studies.
PlaqueOff products help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, support gum health, and freshen breath. The hero ingredient in the products is seaweed sustainably harvested from the Scandinavian coast of the North Atlantic, from which the patented preparation A.N ProDen® is made for maintaining oral and dental health.
PlaqueOff Dental Care Bones Veggie – plant-based dental chew bone for medium and large dogs for daily use.
PlaqueOff Dental Care Bones Veggie-Blueberry mini – blueberry-infused dental chew bone for small and toy dogs for daily use.
Which product should I choose for my dog? 💭
In dental care, the key to results lies in regular, daily use. You can choose the most suitable option for your dog from three alternatives – or rotate between them, for example, a chew bone three times a week and powder with food on the other days.
- For dogs that don’t care for chews, powder might be more appealing
- For weight management, the powder is a lower-calorie option
- Chewing bones provides not only health benefits from ingredients but also mechanical cleaning benefits
- The products are not recommended for dogs with thyroid function disorders due to the naturally high iodine content of seaweed
