MAXIGUARD® Oral Cleansing Gel

Description:

Same product – New look pack!

Internationally patented neutralised zinc. Safe and effective for all animal species including small furries and exotics. Safe for neonates.

MAXIGUARD^®Oral Cleansing Gel is the first home dental care product for dogs, cats and exotics offering neutralised zinc (ph7) in hydrogel form. Neutralized zinc is a patented combination of select amino acids and zinc. Taurine and zinc gluconate form a complex bond that inhibits the precipitation of zinc in the neutral pH (6.8 – 7.2) range and the hydrogel adds mucoadhesion. In this narrow pH range an oral zinc preparation delivers increased bioavailability. With increased bioavailability, the zinc readily permeates plaque and oxidises anaerobic bacteria.

It has excellent pet acceptance and will help stimulate epithelial regeneration. It is fine for healing red gums in all pets as well as the occasional ulcer.

The formulation is acceptable to even the most challenging cases such as cats and small dogs.

Can also be used as a natural adjunct to antibiotic treatment.

"Periodontal disease is often a painful and chronic issue in many species and results in a significant compromise to animal welfare, yet it is often overlooked. The veterinary profession needs to embrace all opportunities to improve this issue for the animals in our care. I find the Maxiguard range of products well designed and easy to use, both for veterinary professionals and owners. Maxiguard products can be used for a range of commonly kept species, and have a positive effect, without the problematic need to try and brush an animal’s teeth, which can be very unsettling and can break that owner-pet bond. The components in Maxiguard are all included for their own evidence based merits and I see these products as a much needed step forward in the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease."
