Our practice is currently involved in a study to slow plaque buildup and bad breath in dogs. If you’d like to participate, review the information below and contact our team to learn more.
Why we are a part of the study: GingiGuard Oral Gel is a promising monthly application of a new technology to slow the recurrence and/or return of plaque, tartar, and bad breath in dogs.
Eligibility: Dogs aged 2-7 under 40 pounds with existing tartar and plaque applicable for a dental cleaning.
Owner Requirements: This study requires a dental cleaning and a minimum 4-month follow-up period. The initial oral gel application will be given at the time of the dental cleaning, followed by monthly (in-clinic) exams to check progress and reapplication of the oral gel. Study participants are eligible to receive compensation upon completion of the study.
About the Technology: GingiGuard™ Oral Gel, is a topical oral gel designed for monthly application in the management of canine oral health. It provides an innovative surface-acting and localized approach designed to manage plaque, minimize its buildup, and maintain oral health. Unlike other products that require daily effort, GingiGuard Oral Gel is designed for convenient, once-a-month application directly to your dog’s gumline.
