Clenz-a-dent Chlorohexidine Rinse ships in a bottle fitted with an applicator tip that lets owners direct a gentle stream of liquid along the gumline of dogs and cats. The alcohol-free formula uses an orange flavor intended to make daily handling easier for pets that resist brushing. Its active ingredients, chlorhexidine gluconate, zinc acetate and cetylpyridinium chloride, are combined with sorbitol to help manage the bacteria that contribute to plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. Once applied, the liquid disperses through the mouth and reaches areas that are difficult to access with a toothbrush alone. Owners are directed to shake the bottle before each use and apply the rinse once daily, typically after a meal, or as otherwise guided by a veterinarian. No mixing, dilution or additional assembly is required beyond opening the bottle and using the attached applicator.
