Instructions for use

It is important to remember that after using the gel, the fluffy dog should not be fed for half an hour.
Dosage
For a one-time full treatment of the gums, one drop of Dentavedin gel is enough. This amount of the drug is quickly absorbed into the soft tissues, providing a therapeutic effect. Exceeding the dose of the gel can cause such adverse reactions as discoloration of the enamel of the cat's teeth, excessive salivation and loss of appetite. It is less common for a cat to develop an allergy. In this case, stop using the gel and, after consultation with a specialist, give the animal an antihistamine. If a small dose of gel accidentally enters the gastrointestinal tract, it usually does not lead to adverse reactions.

What breeders say:
Sergey: A Siamese cat named Borya has been living in our family for 2.5 years now. We try to visit the veterinary clinic once a year for examination. And our cat has never been sick in his entire life, but a month ago he started having health problems. We noticed this because Borya began to approach the bowl less often and stopped playing with his toys altogether.
After some time, we made an appointment with the veterinarian, the specialist diagnosed stomatitis. The entire oral cavity of the fluffy was burgundy, and it was very unnatural. The doctor prescribed us a 2-week treatment with Dentavedin gel. Within 8-10 days the result was noticeable, as Borya began to bite and play with us again. Now I keep a couple of tubes of this wonderful gel in my medicine cabinet, and I recommend this product to everyone!
Ekaterina: Our British cat Sally became very ill last week. I couldn’t even think that cats could have problems with gums, but the veterinarian at the clinic showed me the opposite. My pet’s gums were swollen, and in some places there was even a little blood oozing out. For 3 weeks I applied Dentavedin gel to the cat’s gums. The first week there was practically no effect, but then I began to notice that the cracks in the gums began to gradually heal. The product is cheap, and at the same time it showed excellent results during treatment. I recommend dentavedin to all cat owners who are faced with gum or dental problems.

Reviews
Owners
Valentina, Moscow, 36 years old:
“The cat has tender gums. They can become inflamed after rough food, even meat. I used to brew chamomile and wipe the mucous membrane, but then they advised me to buy Dentavedin. Budget tool. For the first time I bought it for 45 rubles. Now the price has increased, but not by much. The gel comes in a convenient bottle with a dropper.
Positive results after use are visible already on the 3rd day. The animal becomes active. He gets an appetite. But it is better not to stop the course of treatment immediately, because symptoms can quickly return, and you will have to deal with the problem again. I smear my cat’s gums for 5-7 days.”
Sergey, Angarsk, 67 years old:
“We were diagnosed with gingivitis and the initial stage of periodontal disease. The mucous membrane was swollen and red. After the examination, the veterinarian prescribed immunomodulators (injections) and Dentavedin gel. It was difficult to do the injections, because as soon as the cat saw the syringe, he immediately hid, and reacted positively to lubricating the gums. I did not drip gel into the mouth, but applied the gel using a cotton swab.
A positive result from the treatment was already noticeable after a week. The swelling subsided, but the mucous membrane still remained red, although not as bright as before the start of therapy. The cat began to chew his food on his own (previously he refused to eat rough food, so he had to grind all the food with a blender). After 2 weeks, the redness of the mucous membrane completely disappeared.”
Veterinarians
Irina Nikolaevna, veterinarian:
“Dentavedin hygiene product contains natural ingredients. This makes it safe for the animal, so it’s good even for kittens. But I don’t recommend starting to self-medicate. Some diseases cannot be cured with gel alone. It is necessary to find the source of the problem and carry out comprehensive treatment.”
Grigory Ivanovich, veterinarian:
“A good and inexpensive hygiene product. I recommend using it as a preventive measure for oral diseases in cats, dogs and other small pets.
If there is a small amount of hardened plaque on the teeth, I suggest this product as an alternative to mechanical cleaning. Unlike the stone removal procedure, which is carried out in the clinic and causes stress for the cat, Dentavedin gently solves the problem.”
