CET Enzymatic Toothpaste

Description

C.E.T.® Enzymatic Toothpaste from Virbac is a pet specific toothpaste formulated for daily oral hygiene in dogs and cats.

Regular at home dental care, together with professional veterinary dental care, helps maintain a healthy mouth by limiting plaque and tartar buildup. C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste is designed to complement the mechanical cleaning action of toothbrushing while helping reduce plaque and freshen breath.

The formula features Virbac's C.E.T. Dual Enzyme System with glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase. Unlike human toothpaste, C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste contains no foaming agents and is specially formulated so pets can safely swallow the toothpaste during brushing.

Multiple appealing flavors help make regular toothbrushing easier to incorporate into a pet's daily oral hygiene routine.

How It Works

Regular brushing provides mechanical cleaning that helps remove plaque from tooth surfaces before it accumulates.

C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste complements brushing with Virbac's Dual Enzyme System containing glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase. This enzymatic system provides additional oral hygiene support while helping reduce plaque and freshen breath.

Because the toothpaste is formulated without foaming agents, rinsing is not required after brushing and the product is safe for pets to swallow when used as directed.

Apply C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste to the toothbrush and gently brush the accessible surfaces of the teeth.

Use daily or as directed by your veterinarian.

Introducing Toothbrushing

For pets that are new to toothbrushing:

1. Introduce oral care gradually and allow your pet to become comfortable with having the mouth and teeth handled.
2. Allow your pet to become familiar with the toothpaste.
3. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a pet toothbrush.
4. Gently brush the teeth using a soft bristled toothbrush.
5. Gradually increase the amount of brushing as your pet becomes comfortable with the routine.
6. Use consistently as part of the pet's regular at home dental care program.

C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste contains no foaming agents and does not need to be rinsed from the mouth after brushing.

Weight / Dosage

There is no weight based dosage requirement for routine use. Use an appropriate amount of toothpaste for the pet and toothbrush being used.

Cautions

• For animal use only.
• Formulated for dogs and cats.
• Do not use human toothpaste for pets.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Use an appropriately sized, soft bristled toothbrush.
• Brush gently to avoid unnecessary irritation of sensitive gums.
• Do not force brushing if your pet shows signs of significant oral pain.
• Consult your veterinarian if your pet has bleeding gums, loose or damaged teeth, significant tartar buildup, difficulty eating, persistent bad breath, facial swelling, or other signs of dental disease.
• Review the ingredient list before use in pets with known food sensitivities or allergies.

Possible Side Effects

C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste is formulated for routine use in dogs and cats and is safe to swallow when used as directed.

Individual sensitivities may occur.

Possible reactions may include:

• Mild gastrointestinal upset
• Changes in stool
• Oral irritation
• Sensitivity to a flavor or ingredient

Discontinue use and consult your veterinarian if your pet experiences persistent gastrointestinal upset, oral irritation, swelling, or another unexpected reaction.

Precautions

Introduce toothbrushing gradually, especially in pets that are not accustomed to having their mouth handled.

Do not brush aggressively. Gentle, consistent brushing is preferred.

Pets with advanced dental disease, painful teeth, loose teeth, oral lesions, significant gum inflammation, or other oral health concerns should be evaluated by a veterinarian before beginning a new brushing routine.

Some flavors contain animal or grain derived ingredients. Review the ingredient statement when selecting a flavor for pets with known dietary sensitivities.

C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste should be used as part of an overall dental care program. Routine veterinary dental examinations remain important because at home brushing cannot address dental disease below the gumline or conditions requiring professional veterinary care.

Storage

Store C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste at room temperature. Keep the tube securely closed when not in use. Protect from excessive heat and contamination. Refer to the package for the lot number and expiration date. Keep out of reach of children and animals when not being used.
