Bad breath, plaque and gum inflammation in dogs and cats usually begin with the build-up of bacteria on the teeth and gums, and if left unchecked can lead to bleeding, damage to the tissue around the teeth and long-term oral health problems. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has developed ChitoPal-D, whose main ingredient is chitosan — a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin — that adheres to the teeth and gums and supports antibacterial action. As a chitosan solution for dental care in pets, ChitoPal-D helps limit bacterial build-up, reduce plaque formation and support periodontal health.
