Bonaforte's Peptide+ - Dental Care - 10KG

Peptide+ Dental Care — a complete grain-free adult diet built around oral health, combining bioactive peptides with our Plaque Defence™ botanical blend.

Dental health matters more than most owners realise. Over 80% of dogs aged three and over show some form of dental disease. Poor oral hygiene causes painful conditions that affect a dog's ability to eat, groom and stay active — and bacteria from an infected mouth can enter the bloodstream and reach major organs, contributing to heart, kidney and liver problems. Nutrition is one of the simplest ways to support daily oral care alongside brushing and professional cleaning.

93% of pet owners saw a visible improvement in their dog's oral health.

Freshtrusion™ HDP — the science behind Peptide+

Freshtrusion HDP is a unique process in which freshly prepared meat and fish are cooked in the presence of a natural enzyme that breaks the protein down into small peptides. The size of those peptides is what determines how well protein is digested and absorbed — when protein isn't absorbed properly, its nutritional value is lost.

The Goldilocks principle. You might assume whole, intact protein is best because it arrives with everything intact, or that single amino acids — broken down as far as possible — must be easiest to absorb. Research shows neither is true. Intact protein is too big, singular amino acids are too little, and the best digestibility and absorption rates occur in small-chain di- and tri-peptides. Just right.

The power of peptides for gums and teeth

Collagen peptides support gum tissue repair and reduce the inflammation associated with periodontal disease. Supplementation has been shown to significantly improve indicators of gum health, such as bleeding on probing and tissue regeneration, by promoting the collagen synthesis needed to heal and maintain healthy gingival structures.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) such as LL-37 and the β-defensins are produced naturally in the gums and are central to oral immune defence. LL-37 stimulates gingival fibroblasts to produce growth factors and collagen, supporting tissue repair, while β-defensins help form a protective barrier against bacterial invasion. Together they help maintain a healthy oral microbiome, reduce inflammation and prevent periodontal disease.

Plaque Defence™ blend

• Sodium hexametaphosphate — reduces tartar and tooth staining by preventing mineral build-up on the teeth.
• Seaweed — naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory; helps reduce plaque and tartar.
• Peppermint — reduces bacteria, soothes gum inflammation and freshens breath.
• Cranberry — helps stop harmful bacteria sticking to teeth and gums.
• Green tea extract — reduces harmful bacteria and inflammation, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Prebiotics MOS & FOS

MOS (mannanoligosaccharides) and FOS (fructooligosaccharides) support a healthier oral microbiome and reduce the sulphur-producing bacteria linked to bad breath, as well as nourishing the gut.

Feeding & storage

Feed to appetite according to your dog's weight, age and activity level, adjusting to maintain ideal body condition. Introduce any new food gradually over 7–10 days, mixing an increasing proportion with the old food. Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.

Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal the bag after each use.
