How Does Hill's Oral Care Work?
Plaque forms when bacteria and food particles accumulate on the tooth surface. If it is not removed, plaque may harden into tartar. Hill's Science Diet Oral Care features clinically proven technology designed to help reduce plaque and tartar build-up during everyday chewing.
The larger kibble contains an interlocking fibre structure that surrounds the tooth rather than immediately crumbling. As the tooth enters the kibble, the fibres gently scrub its surface, helping clean the teeth and freshen breath with every bite.
Recommended For
- Adult dogs
- Dogs requiring everyday protection against plaque and tartar build-up
- Dogs that can comfortably chew the Oral Care kibble
- Adult dogs requiring complete and balanced daily nutrition
Not Recommended For
Not recommended for puppies or pregnant and nursing dogs. During pregnancy or nursing, dogs should be transitioned to Hill's Science Diet Puppy, Hill's Science Diet Puppy Small Bites or Hill's Science Diet Puppy Small & Mini dry dog food.
