Dog and cat health also passes through the mouth

In our animals, as in humans, healthy teeth and gums are the best prerequisite for other organs to be healthy as well.
In fact, especially chronic infections related to periodontal disease also have systemic effects, with potential localisation:
- Cardiac
- Hepatic
- Renals
- lungs
Oral cavity diseases are among the most frequently diagnosed problems and, if neglected, tend to become chronic.
Pain in the oral cavity is also a problem for owners, as the animal becomes anorexic and is often dejected.

Statistical studies show that periodontal disease affects 8% of dogs and 10% of cats from 0 to 7 years of age and these percentages double between 7 and 10 years.
Bacterial plaque that is deposited daily on the teeth and especially under the gumline, beyond halitosis, leads to irreversible damage to periodontal tissues that manifests itself as:

  • loss of attachment (gingival retraction)
  • less support (loss of alveolar bone tissue).

That is why it is of paramount importance to prevent these diseases and support their resolution!

But the action in this respect on the oral cavity must be well differentiated, which is why ICF has formulated different dentistry gels for dogs and cats:

- Stomodine®with chlorhexidine 0.12% and primrose oil with soothing activity, which is the ideal support when prolonged anti-plaque action is required in acute oral cavity disorders.

- Stomodine® LP: with chlorhexidine 0.06%, synergised by the presence of Tris-EDTA, and safflower oil with soothing action, specifically formulated to support chronic oral cavity conditions.

- Stomodine® FA patented product with chlorhexidine 0.07%, synergized by the presence of Tris-EDTA, and with Phytosphingosine, which stabilises the correct mucosal reactivity, performing a soothing and anti-reddening action; it slows down plaque formation and preserves the functional integrity of the oral mucosa.

All Stomodine products® are formulated with the right density and adhesiveness that allows them to be easily administered and remain in contact with the mucous membranes of the oral cavity for a long time.
The palatability in both dog and cat is excellent, and the synthetic meat flavouring in all three products allows them to be administered even to allergy sufferers.
