Description
Daily oral care for dogs, without the toothbrush
Fourflax Canine Oral Guard is a daily powder that supports oral health from the inside out. It is sprinkled over food, which makes it a realistic option for the many dogs who will not sit still for brushing.
How it works
Oral Guard combines three things that act in different ways. Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed powder is the ingredient most dental supplements are built on. On top of that sits Sulfoidan fucoidan seaweed extract, and BLIS M18, an oral probiotic strain of Streptococcus salivarius guaranteed at 500 million CFU per gram to the end of shelf life.
Cranberry extract and parsley leaf powder work on breath at the bacterial level, and a little Ceylon cinnamon keeps it smelling pleasant. Green lipped mussel powder and chicory root round out the blend.

Important information
- Contains seafood. Green lipped mussel is a main ingredient.
- Speak to your veterinarian before feeding to a pet with a thyroid condition, as this product contains seaweed.
- For animal use only, and intended for supplemental feeding. It is not nutritionally complete and is designed to complement the diet rather than replace part of it.
- This product is not intended to treat injury or disease. If your pet has sore gums, a broken or loose tooth, is dropping food, or has persistent bad breath, book a veterinary dental examination. A daily supplement supports oral care between checks, it does not replace professional dental treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a pot last?
For a dog under 20kg on one 1g scoop a day, the 40g pot is about 40 days and the 80g about 80 days. For a dog over 20kg on two scoops, halve that.
Do I still need to brush my dog’s teeth?
Brushing remains the gold standard, and this is designed to work alongside it rather than instead of it. For dogs who will not tolerate a brush, a daily supplement is a practical alternative.
Is it suitable for puppies?
It is formulated for dogs of all ages. Check with your veterinarian for a very young puppy.
Why the thyroid warning?
The blend contains seaweed, which is a natural source of iodine. If your dog is being managed for a thyroid condition, check with your vet first.
Can my cat have it?
There is a separate Feline Oral Guard formulated and dosed for cats.
