February 01, 2013 #### Written By: VetriScience [![78028105](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)February is dedicated to dental health. And not just anyone’s dental health, but pet dental health—arguably one of the most important kinds! Periodontal wellness is a giant category in the pet health and veterinary industry, and with good reason. How many pet owners do you know that vigilantly brush their cats’ or dogs’ teeth? National Pet Dental Health Month is a great way to bring attention to it. VetriScience knows pet dental health can be hard to maintain, so we designed products to support periodontal wellness in between cleanings. Our newest options give owners both a convenient supplement choice and a constant reminder that periodontal health is important. **[Perio-Plus Stix](http://www.vetriscience.com/perio-plus-stix.php) for Dogs **is formulated specifically for use between routine dental cleanings to help maintain clean teeth and fresh breath. This product is designed to help control plaque formation and support gum health. The really cool thing about these sticks is their duality. The outside is crunchy and includes pumice and Champignon Mushroom Extract (Champex™ brand) to freshen and shine. The inner core is softer and features the original Perio Support formula (available in a powder) along with added CoQ10. We found that when we combined the convenience of the delivery system with high palatability, dogs came running. For cat guardians, who, as should be expected, generally shy away from sticking their hands anywhere near a kitty’s fangs, we’ve come up with a perfect in-between option: the same Perio Plus Stix formula, but cut into tiny bite-sized pieces: Perio Plus Feline Bites. If your cat isn’t fond of chews, Perio Support powder can be a perfect solution. **Topics: ** [Supplements](https://blog.vetriscience.com/tag/supplements), [General Animal Health](https://blog.vetriscience.com/tag/general-animal-health) ### Subscribe to our Newsletter ## Related Blog Posts [![](https://blog.vetriscience.com/hubfs/shutterstock_63317464.jpg)](https://blog.vetriscience.com/green-lipped-mussel-for-dogs-benefits-amounts-what-the-science-says) May 13, 2026 | [ Joint Support ](https://blog.vetriscience.com/tag/joint-support) ### Green Lipped Mussel for Dogs: Benefits, Amounts & What the Science Says Reviewed & Fact-Checked By: Dr. Elizabeth DeLomba, DVM Perna canaliculus—the beautiful, almost iridescent shellfish better known as green-lipped mussel—has been a nutritious food choice for people...
