About Stay Fresh
By the senior years most dogs could use a little extra help with their teeth, and owners usually notice it first as breath they'd rather not share.
Stay Fresh brings together the tools for a simple daily dental routine: dental chews that support clean teeth and fresh breath, an enzymatic toothpaste with a finger brush, and a water additive for the days brushing doesn't happen.
Brushing does the most. Start slowly: let them lick the paste, then touch the gums, then brush a few teeth, building up over a couple of weeks. Chews and the water additive fill in around it. Book a dental check with your vet once a year, and sooner if you see red gums, a broken tooth or chewing on one side.
How to choose
- New to brushing? Start with the finger brush kit and go slow.
- Won't sit for brushing? Dental chews and the water additive still help keep breath fresh.
- Small dog? Small mouths often need extra attention to their teeth.

Good questions
How often should I brush my senior dog's teeth?
Daily is ideal, and a few times a week still helps. Use dog toothpaste only: human toothpaste isn't safe for dogs.
Do dental chews replace brushing?
No, they help in between. Brushing plus a yearly dental check with your vet is the best routine.
When should my dog see the vet about their teeth?
If you notice bleeding or red gums, a loose or broken tooth, swelling, or trouble eating.
