Dental health is crucial for dogs because it directly impacts their overall well-being and quality of life.
Over 80% of dogs over the age of three suffer from some form of dental disease.
Poor oral hygiene can lead to painful conditions affecting a dog’s ability to eat, groom, and stay active.
Maintaining good dental hygiene not only prevents discomfort and bad breath but also protects against more serious systemic health problems. Bacteria from an infected mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect major organs, contributing to heart disease, kidney issues, and liver damage.
Regular dental care - including professional cleanings, at-home brushing, and nutritional strategies helps to reduce harmful bacteria and promotes better overall health for dogs
Collagen Peptides
Collagen peptides, derived from hydrolysed collagen, play a vital role in supporting gum tissue repair and reducing inflammation associated with periodontal disease.
Studies have shown that collagen peptide supplementation can significantly improve indicators of gum health, such as bleeding on probing and tissue regeneration. These benefits stem from collagen peptides’ ability to promote collagen synthesis, which is essential for healing and maintaining healthy gingival structures.
Antimicrobial Peptides
Gingiva Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) like LL-37 and β-defensins are naturally produced in the gums and play a critical role in oral immune defence. LL-37 stimulates gingival fibroblasts to produce growth factors and collagen, supporting tissue repair, while β-defensins help form a protective barrier that prevents bacterial invasion.
These peptides contribute to maintaining a healthy oral microbiome, reducing inflammation, and preventing periodontal disease. Their dual action of combating microbes and aiding in tissue regeneration, makes them key players in maintaining gum health and preventing oral infections.
