CET Enzymatic Chews for Dogs

Description

C.E.T.® Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Dogs from Virbac are daily dental chews designed to help reduce plaque and tartar while supporting clean teeth and fresh breath.

The chews combine an exclusive Dual Enzyme System with the natural abrasive action of select beefhide. As the dog chews, the coarse texture provides mechanical cleaning action against the tooth surfaces to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews contain both beef and poultry proteins and are basted with an appealing poultry flavor. The beefhide used to make the chews is sourced from North American cattle.

The oral hygiene benefit depends on adequate chewing action, so dogs should receive the appropriate chew size for their body weight and should be supervised while chewing.

Uses & Benefits

• Helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup
• Helps keep teeth clean and breath fresh
• Exclusive Dual Enzyme System supports oral hygiene
• Abrasive beefhide texture works with the dog's natural chewing action
• Provides mechanical cleaning as the dog chews
• Convenient for daily at home dental care

• Available in multiple sizes based on body weight
• Can complement regular toothbrushing and veterinarian recommended dental care

How It Works

C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews combine a Dual Enzyme System with mechanical cleaning from the chew's abrasive beefhide texture.

As the dog chews, the coarse texture comes into contact with tooth surfaces to help reduce plaque and tartar. The enzymatic system provides additional oral hygiene support while chewing.

Adequate chewing is necessary to receive the intended oral hygiene benefit. Dogs that swallow or gulp chews without sufficient chewing will receive less mechanical cleaning benefit and may be at risk for digestive obstruction or choking.

They may be used as part of an at home dental care program to:

These chews are intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only and are not a complete and balanced diet.

Guaranteed Analysis

Calorie Content

Calorie content varies according to chew size:

Directions

Give your dog at least one appropriately sized chew daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Choose the chew size according to your dog's body weight.

Weight / Chew Size

The oral hygiene benefit of C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews depends on adequate chewing action.

Give the chew only when you are available to supervise your dog. Make sure your dog is actively chewing the product rather than attempting to swallow it whole.

Always select the appropriate size for your dog's body weight.

Provide access to fresh drinking water.

This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

Cautions

• For use in dogs only.
• Select the appropriate chew size based on your dog's body weight.
• Always supervise your dog while chewing.
• Do not allow dogs to gulp or swallow chews whole.
• Inadequate chewing reduces the oral hygiene benefit and may present a choking or gastrointestinal obstruction risk.
• Remove and discard pieces that become small enough to swallow whole.
• Use additional caution with dogs that are aggressive chewers or have a history of swallowing chews without adequate chewing.
• Consult your veterinarian before use in dogs with existing dental disease, damaged teeth, difficulty chewing, swallowing disorders, or gastrointestinal concerns.
• Contains beef, poultry, soy, and dairy derived ingredients.
• Not intended for human consumption.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Wash hands after handling.

Possible Side Effects

C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews are generally intended for daily use when the appropriate size is selected and the dog is properly supervised.

Individual dogs may experience:

• Gastrointestinal upset
• Vomiting
• Loose stool or diarrhea
• Changes in appetite
• Sensitivity to an ingredient

Large pieces that are swallowed without adequate chewing may create a choking or gastrointestinal obstruction risk.

Discontinue use and contact your veterinarian if your dog experiences persistent gastrointestinal upset, difficulty swallowing, repeated vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort, or another unexpected reaction.

Seek prompt veterinary attention if choking or gastrointestinal obstruction is suspected.

Precautions

Supervise your dog whenever a dental chew is provided.

The oral hygiene benefit depends on adequate chewing. Dogs that gulp or swallow chews whole may receive less dental benefit and may be at increased risk for complications.

Choose the appropriate chew size based on body weight rather than providing a smaller chew for convenience.

C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews contain animal proteins, including beef and poultry, and may not be appropriate for dogs following certain elimination diets or with known food sensitivities.

Dental chews should be used as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene program. Regular toothbrushing remains an important component of at home dental care when tolerated.

Routine veterinary dental examinations are recommended to identify dental disease that cannot be addressed through at home oral hygiene products alone.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry location. Keep the package securely closed to help maintain product quality. Protect from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and animals when not being administered.

Disposal

Dispose of expired, damaged, contaminated, or excessively small chew pieces with household waste unless local requirements specify otherwise.
Remove and discard pieces that become small enough for your dog to swallow whole.
Dispose of empty packaging according to applicable local requirements.
