If you’ve ever tried to approach your pet with good intentions and a toothbrush in hand, you’ll know just how likely you are to lose the battle of wills ahead. Teeth-cleaning and your furry friend are anything but a match made in heaven, and yet, numerous studies show that 80 per cent of dogs and cats have some signs of dental disease by the time they reach the age of three.
None of us wants our pet to lose their gnashers, and so it falls on us to find another way to keep those fangs sparkling clean. Enter Bell & Bone, an Australian brand whose mission is for pet owners to “feel confident about what they’re feeding to their dogs and cats”.

The superstars there have already come up with a range of innovative ways to improve your pet’s dental health, including dental sticks, bites and chews. But it has recently launched a new product that’s so sneakily effective, Fluffy won’t even notice you’re doing them some good.
According to Bell & Bone, oral health and gut health are deeply connected, and the key to better dental care actually starts in the gut. A well-balanced microbiome can prevent plaque buildup, reduce gum inflammation and even fight bad breath, the experts say.
So Bell & Bone worked with industry insiders to formulate a new Dental Topper spray, a blend of oral actives, prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics that comes in delicious flavours—like tuna, salmon, chicken and lamb—and simply gets lightly misted on top of your pet’s normal food.

The oral actives reduce plaque and tartar, while prebiotics feed the good bacteria in the gut and mouth, probiotics restore microbial balance, and postbiotics support a strong immune system.
Bell & Bone’s tooth-saving secret weapon is made from a powerhouse blend of natural ingredients, including Norwegian kelp, blueberry, calendula, cranberry, green tea and rosemary extracts, which combat inflammation and support a gut bacteria balance.
The Dental Topper spray is so easy to use, you just have to pump four sprays on your pet’s food per day, no brushing required.

Each dental spray bottle gives a 30-day supply and can be used in conjunction with Bell & Bone’s dental sticks and chews. The Dental Topper spray is backed by real results—97 per cent of pets who trialed it showed improvements in breath, gums, teeth (and even poops).
Now, if that isn’t an added incentive to get pet-lovers adding to cart, we don’t know what is. You can check out Bell & Bone's range of dental products here.
