Graceful VetCare Recipe Dental Care

THE FOOD THAT FIGHTS PLAQUE FROM THE VERY FIRST BITE

Dental disease affects the majority of adult cats, and the right dry food, one that goes beyond simply being dry, can make a measurable difference to oral health every single day. Graceful VetCare Recipe Dental Care is formulated with the Plaque Defence blend, a five-ingredient combination of Sodium Hexametaphosphate (6,700mg/kg), Seaweed (0.2%), Cranberry (0.2%), Peppermint (0.05%), and Green Tea Extract (0.05%), working together to reduce plaque, support a healthy oral microbiome, and freshen breath, alongside Dried Milk (1.5%) contributing lactoferrin and lysozyme for natural antimicrobial oral support. In a 2026 study conducted by Dr Lukasz Kisielewski, DVM, at SABA Veterinary Office, 86% of owners saw an improvement in their cat's oral health within the feeding period.

Why it's a great choice

• Plaque Defence five-ingredient blend: The 1% Plaque Defence blend includes Sodium Hexametaphosphate (6,700mg/kg, which binds to calcium in saliva to interrupt tartar mineralisation), Seaweed (0.2%), Cranberry (0.2%, proanthocyanidins that inhibit bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces), Peppermint (0.05%, natural breath-freshening), and Green Tea Extract (0.05%, antimicrobial polyphenols targeting oral bacteria).

• Dried Milk with lactoferrin and lysozyme: At 1.5%, Dried Milk contributes lactoferrin and lysozyme, naturally occurring antimicrobial proteins that support the oral immune environment by targeting harmful bacteria and reinforcing gum tissue integrity alongside the active Plaque Defence ingredients.

• Collagen peptides for gum health: The 3.7% collagen content delivers collagen peptides that support gum tissue integrity and the connective tissues surrounding the teeth, providing structural oral support from within the diet alongside the active anti-plaque blend.

• Antimicrobial peptide activity from Freshtrusion HDP: The small-chain hydrolysed salmon peptides produced by Freshtrusion HDP carry natural antimicrobial properties, including LL-37 and beta-defensin-type activity, supporting a healthier oral microbiome alongside the Plaque Defence blend from every meal.

Key benefits for your Cat

• 86% of owners saw improved oral health: In a 2026 study by Dr Lukasz Kisielewski, DVM (SABA Veterinary Office), 86% of owners observed a measurable improvement in their cat's oral health during the feeding trial, providing owner-validated evidence for the formula's real-world dental benefits.

• Reduced plaque and tartar formation: Sodium Hexametaphosphate binds to calcium ions in saliva, interrupting the mineralisation process that converts soft plaque into hard tartar, and helping to keep tooth surfaces cleaner over time as part of the daily diet without the need for additional dental products.

• Oral microbiome support from multiple sources: Cranberry, Green Tea Extract, Dried Milk, and the natural antimicrobial peptides from hydrolysed salmon work collectively to support a healthier oral microbiome, reducing the populations of harmful bacteria that drive plaque formation and gum inflammation.

• Complete dental nutrition in one daily meal: Plaque Defence is built into a nutritionally complete, grain-free, hypoallergenic recipe, meaning active dental care is delivered every time your cat eats without the need for additional supplements, water additives, or dental chews alongside their food.

The ideal daily food for adult cats where dental hygiene is a priority, providing active plaque defence, gum health support, and oral microbiome management in a complete, grain-free, veterinary-approved recipe.
