Plaque is formed when teeth and gums are not properly cleaned after eating. It hardens into tartar in about 3 days which attaches to the enamel on the teeth and below the gum line.

If you pet has obvious build up on their teeth, you need to schedule a visit to a vet that can clean their teeth. We recommend a non-anesthesia method.
