Why saline

Pets can't spit. So there's no toothpaste in this kit.

Why we brush with saline
  • Nothing to be allergic to

    Many pet toothpastes are flavored with chicken, beef or peanut. Saline is just salt and purified water: no animal proteins, no flavor systems, nothing that typically triggers food sensitivities.

  • Gentle on tender gums

    Isotonic saline matches your pet's own salt balance. No foaming agents, abrasives, mint or alcohol that can sting gums that are already sensitive.

  • Kind to sensitive stomachs

    Pets swallow everything on the brush. Saline has no sorbitol, glycerin, gums or sweeteners, the ingredients most often linked to soft stools after toothpaste.

  • Zero sugar, zero fat, zero calories

    A sensible choice for pets on carefully managed diets: nothing sweet, nothing oily, nothing that adds up over a year of daily brushing.

Sterile 0.9% saline ampoules and dental finger wipes

Single-use, on purpose

Why 5 mL, and why one ampoule per session

  • One ampoule, one session5 mL is enough to moisten a finger wipe, a swab or a brush several times over. Nothing is left to store.
  • Sealed until you open itSterile saline only stays sterile while it's sealed. A bottle opened every day, with a wet brush dipping back in, doesn't.
  • Use within 24 hoursIf you don't finish an opened ampoule, discard it after 24 hours and open a fresh one next time.
  • Easy to countStandard and Premium kits hold 15 ampoules: one for each saline session in the 28-day plan.
