ZEAL Nutrition Supports Your Pet’s Oral Health

You view your pet as a true member of your family, and just like you, they deserve a clean bill of health—starting with their mouth. While regular brushing is essential, optimal dental health is built from the inside out, beginning with what is in their bowl.

At ZEAL, we know that many conventional pet foods compromise oral hygiene. Our commitment to 94–96% premium meat and organs means we eliminate the ingredients that feed dental problems, turning every meal into a proactive step for oral wellness.

The Hidden Culprit: Carbohydrate Overload

The root of many dental issues begins when pets consume diets overloaded with high carbohydrate fillers and starches. These sticky ingredients—common in traditional dry kibble—leave residue on the teeth, providing the perfect substrate for plaque-forming bacteria.

Because ZEAL enforces a zero tolerance for fillers, grains, or artificial junk, our ultra-high meat, low-carbohydrate recipes naturally contain fewer substrates for plaque-forming bacteria, supporting long-term oral hygiene.

Dual-Action Dental Support: Texture Meets Traceable Ingredients

ZEAL delivers dental benefits through both the composition and the texture of our food:

1. The Jerky-Like Scrub (Air-Dried)

Our ZEAL Canada Air-Dried recipes (96% meat) have a signature soft, chewy, jerky-like texture that requires active gnawing. Unlike hard kibble, this unique texture provides an abrasive action on the teeth as your dog or cat chews. This mechanical action helps promote dental cleaning and reduces the accumulation of surface tartar, while still remaining gentle enough for seniors or pets with minor dental issues.

2. Clean Ingredients, Clean Mouth (Wet Food)

Our ZEAL New Zealand Wet Food (94% meat) provides superior hydration and eliminates high-starch content. This means the food doesn’t leave the sticky residue behind that can cling to teeth and rapidly feed oral bacteria.

Functional Superfoods for Breath and Plaque Control

We proactively include powerful functional ingredients that contribute directly to a healthier mouth environment:

• Dried Kelp: Sourced from pristine waters, this marine superfood provides iodine and trace minerals. Kelp inclusion has been linked to a reduction in plaque and tartar formation.

• Organ Meats: Our nose-to-tail philosophy ensures a rich blend of organs (like liver and heart) that provide essential vitamins (like B vitamins) and minerals (like Zinc) necessary for maintaining healthy gum tissue.

• Natural Fresheners: Certain ingredients included in our formulas, such as parsley (found in some air-dried recipes), act as natural breath fresheners, helping to keep your pet's kisses sweet.

By feeding ZEAL, you are choosing a diet where every ingredient is functional, supporting not just muscle and joints, but also the critical, daily health of their mouth.
