Our Dental Powder has earned TDTS Recommended status with an impressive 89.1% overall score 🎉
We all want to keep our dogs' teeth and gums healthy, but let's be honest, brushing their teeth isn't always the easiest task! That's where our triple-action Dental Powder comes in. Designed to make daily dental care that little bit easier, it's a simple addition to your dog's meals to help support good oral hygiene.
We're delighted to share that our Dental Powder has been independently tried and tested by The Dog Trainer School (TDTS), achieving a fantastic 89.1% overall score and earning the official TDTS Recommended Product badge! But what did the dogs (and their owners!) really think? Let's take a closer look at the results.
Putting our Dental Powder to the test
As part of the TDTS Recommended programme, 30 dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes and diets put our Dental Powder through its paces over six weeks. Their owners, all members of The Dog Trainer School's professional community, added the powder to their dogs' daily meals following our feeding guidelines. Throughout the trial, they shared their honest feedback on everything from how easy the powder was to use and whether their dogs enjoyed it, to any noticeable changes in breath freshness, plaque and tartar.
Did dogs enjoy Dorwest Dental Powder?
One of the biggest considerations with any supplement is whether dogs will actually eat it. Luckily, our Dental Powder proved popular with the majority of dogs taking part.
An impressive 90% of testers (27 out of 30) reported that their dogs accepted the powder without hesitation! When asked how willingly their dog ate food containing the powder, 23 testers gave it 5/5, with another five rating it 4/5.
Here's what tester Michelle Roberts had to say:
“A great natural product that pops into the dogs food and even my fussy eater (PADDY) just continues to eat his food in the normal way and believe me he’s suspicious of anything different in his food bowl!
Did testers notice improvements in dental hygiene?
The results were encouraging, particularly when it came to breath freshness.
- 16 testers (53.3%) reported fresher breath.
- 13 testers (43.3%) reported reduced tartar.
- 10 testers (33.3%) reported reduced plaque.
Some noticed improvements within the first two weeks, while others reported changes later in the six-week trial. Of course, every dog is different, and not all testers noticed visible changes during the six-week trial, some felt that a longer period would be helpful to assess changes in existing plaque and tartar.
Tester Emma Rowe commented:
“Easy to use, definitely made my old girls breath smell better”
Is Dorwest Dental Powder easy to use?
We know that when it comes to looking after our dogs, simple routines make all the difference. That's why we were particularly pleased to see how highly testers rated our Dental Powder for ease of use.
An incredible 93.3% (28 out of 30 testers) gave it a full 5/5 for daily ease of use!
What's more, every tester agreed that the feeding instructions were easy to understand and appreciated the compact tub. With no preparation needed, it's easy to see why so many owners enjoyed the simplicity of adding the powder to their dogs' usual meals.
However, several testers highlighted one area for improvement: the measuring scoop, with a a few of them finding it tricky to locate or use. We're always grateful for honest feedback that helps us understand how we can make our products even better in the future!
Is Dorwest Dental Powder good value for money?
Keeping up with your dog's dental care shouldn't have to be complicated or costly! We're pleased to say our Dental Powder received positive feedback for value for money, with several testers appreciating how long a tub lasted compared with other dental care products.
At the time of the trial, a 100g tub is priced at £14.90, with the daily amount varying depending on your dog's size. While some testers felt they'd like to see more noticeable improvements before giving it top marks for value, the overall feedback was encouraging!
Would dog professionals recommend it?
The answer was a resounding yes from many of our testers!
23 out of 30 testers rated their likelihood of recommending Dorwest Dental Powder between 8 and 10 out of 10.
Even more encouragingly, 83.3% (25 testers) said they would consider continuing to use the powder as part of their dog's routine, even without seeing dramatic improvements. For us, that's a lovely reflection of just how important ease of use and consistency are when it comes to everyday dental care.
The final verdict: 89.1% and TDTS Recommended!
We're delighted that our Dental Powder has officially earned TDTS Recommended Product status, achieving an overall score of 89.1%!
From its simple daily use and excellent acceptance by most dogs to the encouraging feedback around breath freshness, we're thrilled with the results. While every dog's needs are different, and Dental Powder should be used alongside an appropriate dental care routine, these findings highlight how it can be a convenient addition to everyday oral hygiene. A huge thank you to The Dog Trainer School and all the wonderful dogs and owners who took part in the trial!
