Featuring a patent-pending postbiotic that’s clinically proven to reduce bad breath in just seven days, PupGum represents a breakthrough in canine oral care, combining four core periodontal disease interventions in one convenient chew: antimicrobial fermentate, breath-freshening spirulina, anti-inflammatory properties and plaque-scraping flax seeds.

Requiring two years of development and rigorous testing, the PupGum formula disrupts oral biofilms by 98 percent on average, preventing plaque from adhering to teeth. It also neutralizes 50 percent of the volatile sulfur compounds responsible for bad dog breath.

Designed to work from the inside out to rebalance the canine oral microbiome, PupGum functions as a sustainable alternative to traditional antibiotics. The scientifically formulated chew uses clinically proven ingredients to reduce Porphyromonas gulae (formerly known as the canine biotype of P. gingivalis), the primary anaerobic bacterium associated with periodontal disease in dogs, causing gingivitis, deep periodontal pockets and tissue damage.
