Tartar Shield® Natural Pet Toothpaste Granted VOHC® Seal of Acceptance

On the VOHC’s recommendation, ratified by the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) Board of Directors, the recognition affirms the product’s clinically demonstrated ability to reduce tartar accumulation and highlights its role in advancing preventive oral health standards in veterinary practice.

Clinical studies conducted under VOHC protocols, using only topical application with no brushing device required, demonstrated that Tartar Shield® Pro Care Natural Pet Toothpaste significantly reduced tartar, plaque, and halitosis. These findings reflect Tartar Shield’s longstanding commitment to science-driven performance and its continued efforts to elevate the quality and effectiveness of pet oral care.

Tartar Shield® Pro Care is a coconut oil–based toothpaste formulated with all-natural and nature-derived ingredients. It is the first and only chemically active pet toothpaste awarded VOHC’s prestigious Seal of Acceptance — the foremost standard recognized globally across veterinary and consumer pet dental product categories.

“Tartar Shield® has demonstrated a strong commitment to scientific rigor and to supporting the VOHC’s mission to provide assurance of clinical efficacy for pet oral care,” said Ellen Lowery, DVM, PhD, Director of the VOHC.
