Our low-purine oral hygiene functional softies combine botanical ingredients such as parsley, peppermint, and brown algae – as a gentle supplement to daily feeding and to support natural oral hygiene. Parsley and peppermint are known for their fresh taste and are traditionally used to improve food acceptance. Brown algae are considered a proven ingredient in animal nutrition in recipes that focus on a tooth-friendly composition. They are low in fat and reduced in protein – ideal for dogs who need a gentle diet, e.g., with a sensitive pancreatic dietary needs or kidney-related dietary needs.
Due to their soft consistency, the functional softies are suitable for both adult dogs and young dogs.
The daily rations are guidelines for adult dogs. Individual needs vary depending on breed, age and activity. Ideal as a daily snack to supplement meals or as a treat in between. For the health of your dog, please follow the feeding recommendations and adjust the main meal accordingly. Always provide fresh drinking water. Store product in a cool, dry place.

Summary
Controlled studies show that marine and plant-based active ingredients in snacks, powders, chew bones, or water additives can improve dogs' dental health and reduce bad breath.
-
Brown algae (Ascophyllum nodosum): Reduction of plaque by 22–42% and tartar by 20–45%, plus fewer sulcoat compounds in breath (= fresher breath).
-
Sodium hexametaphosphate: As a coating or in chew bones, particularly effective against tartar (60–80% less formation) and simultaneously better breath.
-
Green tea catechins and matcha enzymes: Significant antibacterial effect; water additive with matcha and enzymes reduced plaque by 22% in 28 days.
-
Vegetable chews and plant-based chews: Showed significant improvements in plaque, tartar, and bad breath.
Conclusion: Plant-based and marine dental care additives can significantly improve dogs' oral hygiene, tartar formation, and breath freshness. The most effective are combinations of mechanical chewing and bioactive ingredients – a promising basis for modern, natural dental care products for dogs.
