Dr. Marcus Yardley, DVM, DAVDC
Owners bring me dogs at eleven or twelve with pockets I can only clean under general anaesthetic. One sick dog in seventy-three does not wake up from it. Almost nobody brushes, and the ones who do are working above the gum line. A seaweed they swallow is the only thing that reaches the damage.
— Dr. Marcus Yardley, DVM, DAVDC

Dosage & How To Use

One scoop is 2 g and the scoop is in the tub. Sprinkle it on his food once a day, dry or wet. There is nothing to brush, nothing to hold his mouth open for, nothing he has to chew for thirty seconds.

Dosage by weight:
→ Under 22 lbs: 1 scoop per day, one tub lasts about 50 days
→ 22–44 lbs: 2 scoops per day, one tub lasts about 25 days
→ 44–77 lbs: 2 scoops per day, one tub lasts about 25 days
→ Over 77 lbs: 3 scoops per day, one tub lasts about 16 days

It works through his saliva, and saliva turns over constantly. What is not in his blood today is not in his saliva tonight, so a day skipped is a day the pocket gets back.

Not sure yet? Start with one tub. 90-day money-back guarantee.

The real reason nothing you have bought for his mouth has worked

Everything sold for a dog's mouth works in the same place: on the surface of the tooth, above the gum line. The brush, the dental stick, the rope toy, the bone, the water additive, the forty-dollar enzyme spray with a vet's face on the box. All of them, above the line.

The problem is below it.

Under the edge of his gum there is a pocket, three to ten millimetres deep, that should not exist. It is not a surface any more. It is an open wound, millimetres from his bloodstream. Nothing you put in his mouth goes down there. To reach it through his mouth you need general anaesthesia and a curette, and that is exactly why a cleaning costs $1,247.

But it works fine in the other direction.

Every time he chews, bacteria leave that pocket and go into his blood. That is not a theory. Researchers drew blood from dogs classified by the severity of their gum disease, right after chewing and brushing, and cultured it: positive in one out of four.

They do not stay in his mouth. Across 164,706 dogs, for every square centimetre of gum disease there was 1.4 times more damage on the valves of the left side of the heart, and kidney risk climbed with every stage.

How Pawlity® is different

There is exactly one thing that sits in that pocket twenty-four hours a day, and it is his saliva. Saliva comes from his blood. So we do not put anything on his teeth. He swallows it, it goes into his blood, and it comes back out in his saliva.

✓ Reaches below the gum line
✓ Nothing to brush, nothing to hold him still for
✓ No mint, so the smell stays honest

Exclusive Formula

PAWLITY® — WHAT'S INSIDE & WHY IT WORKS

Everything else works on the tooth. This works in the liquid that is already inside the pocket.

He swallows it with his food. It enters his bloodstream, and it comes back into his mouth through his saliva, which is the only thing on earth that sits in that pocket every hour of every day, whether you are watching or not.

THE FORMULA (per 2 g scoop; two scoops a day for most dogs)

Ascophyllum nodosum, whole dried — 300 mg
A cold-water brown seaweed, dried whole and ground, the same form the trial used. Swallowed, not scrubbed. It comes back into the mouth through his saliva, down into the pocket, and strips the sticky film the bacteria build to hold onto the tooth. Without that film they lose their grip, and the tartar that was cemented to it starts letting go. Randomised, double blind, against placebo, ninety days, in dogs: plaque 38% lower than placebo, tartar 35% lower by day 30, gum bleeding 67% lower, and the sulphur compounds behind the smell 24%, 35% and 46% lower at days 30, 60 and 90.

Spinach powder — 400 mg
One of the densest natural sources of chlorophyll, which binds sulphur-based odour molecules instead of covering them with a scent. It works on what you smell while the seaweed works on what makes it.

Parsley powder — 400 mg
Chlorophyll again, plus the flavonoids that made parsley the original breath herb. Most dental products use it at a token dose. 400 mg a scoop is not a token.

Brewer's yeast powder — 400 mg
B vitamins, and the savoury note that makes two scoops disappear off the bowl in four seconds, without a treat shape, a coating or a mint. The trial only worked in dogs that got the dose every day: this is what makes every day happen.

Green tea extract, caffeine-free — 20 mg
Catechins with documented antibacterial activity in the oral environment. A small supporting dose, and caffeine-free because caffeine has no place in a dog.

Base: chicken liver powder, silicon dioxide.
The flavour he goes for, and the anti-caking agent that keeps a powder pourable. Nothing else.

WHAT IS NOT IN IT, AND WHY THAT MATTERS
✗ No bicarbonate, no calcium carbonate, no abrasive. We are not scrubbing anything.
✗ No surfactant, no foaming agent. This is swallowed, not a toothpaste.
✗ No mint, no peppermint. The smell is the only reading you get on that pocket. We are not covering it up, we are taking away what makes it. Which means if the smell goes, you know why.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
✓ The only dental product that does not go in through his mouth
✓ Four seconds a day, and he does not have to cooperate
✓ A 2 g scoop in the tub, so the dose is a dose and not a pinch
✓ Safe for daily long-term use, dogs and cats
✓ Not for dogs with a thyroid condition: brown seaweed is naturally high in iodine. Ask your vet first.

90-Day Money-Back Guarantee

The smell usually moves first, because the sulphur compounds are the fastest thing to change. The gum line takes longer. Tartar that has already hardened does not come off, it stops spreading.

So we give you ninety days: try it, and if his breath has not changed, email us at info@trypawlity.com and we refund you, no questions asked. The risk is ours. It has been his for years.

How quickly will I see results?

Weeks 1 and 2, nothing. We would rather tell you than sell you.

Weeks 2 to 4, the smell changes. You notice it the way you noticed the problem in the first place: when he yawns at you, or puts his head on your lap.

Weeks 4 to 8, lift his lip again. The red line along the tooth is the thing to watch, not the teeth themselves.

Tartar that is already mineralised will not dissolve. What changes is that it stops growing, and that the pocket feeding it gets less to work with.

More than 80% of dogs already have signs of oral disease by their third birthday. It does not start in old age. It ends there. Which is why this is a daily thing, not a course.

    gum-powder--t05

    Brushes work above the line. The problem is below it.

    Under the edge of his gum there is a pocket, three to ten millimetres deep. It is not a surface any more, it is an open wound, millimetres from his bloodstream.

    Nothing you have ever put in his mouth goes down there. Not the brush, not the stick, not the bone, not the spray. To reach it through his mouth takes general anaesthesia and a curette. That is why the cleaning costs $1,247.

    But it works fine in the other direction. Every time he chews, his own bacteria leave that pocket and enter his blood. They drew blood from dogs right after eating and grew it: positive in one out of four.

    And blood does not stop in his mouth. Across 164,706 dogs, the further the gum disease had gone, the more damage turned up on the valves of the heart. Nobody is going to tell you one causes the other. They are going to tell you the two turn up together, in that many dogs.

    So there is exactly one way in, and it is not through his mouth. He swallows it. It goes into his blood. It comes back out in his saliva, and his saliva is the only thing that sits in that pocket twenty-four hours a day.

    ✔️ Reaches below the gum line

    Here's what actually happens, week by week

    The pocket does not close overnight. But the smell moves first, and the smell is the only reading you get. Not because we suppressed it, but because you will know exactly why it went.

    Right now

    The smell is a wound talking

    You smell it when he yawns at you, and the gum line is red. You've tried sticks, sprays, water additives, and every one of them works above the gum line. The pocket is below it.

    "$1,247 and a general anaesthetic. He's twelve. I said no."

    • A red line where the gum meets the tooth
    • Breath you can smell across the room
    • Tartar building at the back teeth
    • His own bacteria into his blood at every meal
    Week 2 – 4

    The first yawn you don't turn away from

    Two scoops on his food every morning. Four seconds. He never noticed. No missed days. Now Ascophyllum comes back through his own saliva , the only thing already inside the pocket, and strips the film the bacteria hold onto right under the gum line. They lose their grip, and the sulphur gas starts dropping. You notice it when he puts his head on your lap.

    "I realised I had stopped turning my head away. That was the moment."

    • Breath noticeably changed
    • Less film on the back teeth
    • The gum line looks less angry
    • No mint in the tub, so it is real
    Ascophyllum 300mg Spinach 400mg Parsley 400mg Green Tea 20mg
    Week 6 – 8

    The line goes from red to pink

    Eight weeks of daily scoops, 600mg of whole dried seaweed a day, carried in by his own saliva , into the pocket itself. The bacteria lose the film they hold onto, and the tartar cemented to it starts letting go. Nothing was masked. Lift his lip and look.

    "The line was red in March. In June it was pink. Same dog, same mouth."

    • Gum line pink along the tooth
    • Tartar stopped spreading
    • Breath stays changed, not covered
    • No anaesthesia on the calendar

    The only ingredient here with a canine trial

    gum-powder--t06

    WHAT IS IT?

    The whole dried alga, the same form the trial used, not an extract.

    A cold-water brown seaweed from the North Atlantic. It is not applied to the tooth, it is swallowed with food. It passes into the bloodstream and returns to the mouth through saliva, which is the only thing that sits in the pocket under the gum line twenty-four hours a day. Once there, it strips the film the bacteria build to hold onto the tooth, so they lose their grip where the damage actually happens.

    PER 2 SCOOPS

    600mg

    KEY ROLE

    Below the gum line

    THE SCIENCE

    Randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, ninety days, in dogs: plaque index 38% lower than placebo, tartar index 35% lower by day 30 (20% by day 90), gingival bleeding index 67% lower, and volatile sulphur compounds 24%, 35% and 46% lower at days 30, 60 and 90. A 2023 review of the ingredient in dogs and cats found the strongest preventive action in the powder form, ahead of dental bites and ahead of dry food. Brown seaweed is naturally high in iodine, so it is not for dogs with a thyroid condition.

    Spinach powder — 400mg per scoop

    Chlorophyll, on the smell itself

    gum-powder--t07b spinach

    WHAT IS IT?

    Dried spinach leaf, one of the densest natural sources of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll binds sulphur-based odour molecules chemically rather than covering them with a scent. It is the part of the formula that works on what you smell, while the seaweed works on what makes it.

    PER 2 SCOOPS

    800mg

    KEY ROLE

    Odour binding

    THE SCIENCE

    Chlorophyllin has been used as an internal deodorant for decades, and it is in most dental chews for the same reason, usually at a fraction of this dose. There is no canine gum trial on spinach and we do not claim one. It is here for the first month, and the smell is not the proof anyway: the gum line at week eight is.

    Parsley powder — 400mg per scoop

    Chlorophyll and flavonoids, not a mint

    gum-powder--t08b parsley

    WHAT IS IT?

    Dried parsley leaf. Chlorophyll again, plus the flavonoids and volatile compounds that made parsley the after-dinner breath herb long before dental chews existed. It does not reach the pocket. It makes the weeks before the seaweed gets there bearable, without a perfume.

    PER 2 SCOOPS

    800mg

    KEY ROLE

    Odour binding

    THE SCIENCE

    Parsley is the reference ingredient of the whole breath category, usually at token doses of a few milligrams. 400 mg per scoop is not a token. No canine trial, and none claimed: it is there for the smell, not for the pocket.

    Green Tea Extract, caffeine-free — 20mg per scoop

    Catechins, in the mouth rather than on the tooth

    gum-powder--t09

    WHAT IS IT?

    A decaffeinated green tea extract standardised for catechins. It has documented antibacterial activity in the oral environment and reaches the mouth the same way the seaweed does, through saliva. It supports the lead ingredient rather than replacing it, and it is decaffeinated because caffeine has no place in a daily product for a dog.

    PER 2 SCOOPS

    40mg

    KEY ROLE

    Antibacterial support

    THE SCIENCE

    Green tea catechins, particularly EGCG, inhibit the growth and adhesion of several oral bacteria and reduce the enzymes involved in tissue breakdown. Most of that work has been done in humans. It is here as a supporting ingredient, on a mechanism that is plausible and a small supporting dose, not as the reason the product works.

    Brewer's yeast powder — 400mg per scoop

    Why nothing has to be hidden in peanut butter

    gum-powder--t10b brewer's yeast

    WHAT IS IT?

    Dried brewer's yeast, a natural source of B vitamins and the savoury note dogs go for. With the chicken liver base it is the reason two scoops disappear off the bowl in four seconds, without a coating, a treat shape or a mint.

    PER 2 SCOOPS

    800mg

    KEY ROLE

    Palatability and B vitamins

    THE SCIENCE

    Brewer's yeast is a standard palatability and B-vitamin ingredient in dog supplements. No gum claim, and none needed. Its job is to make sure the dose is eaten every single night, because the trial only worked in the dogs that got it every day.

    Why swallowed beats scrubbed

    The best product in the world is useless if it cannot physically reach the problem.

    A dental stick asks him to chew for thirty seconds, on the right side, every day. A brush asks him to hold his mouth open. A spray asks you to aim at a gum line he does not want you near. And all three of them work on the part of the tooth you can see.

    A powder asks nothing of him. Two scoops on his food, four seconds, and he does not even know it happened. It goes into his blood and comes back into his mouth in his saliva, which is already in the pocket and has been all along.

    In the literature on this seaweed, powder is the form with the strongest preventive effect, ahead of dental bites and ahead of dry food. Perfect compliance is the compliance that asks him for nothing.

    Vet Approved

    "I spend my week cleaning pockets under general anaesthetic on dogs who are old enough that the anaesthetic itself is the thing keeping their owners awake. In the largest study we have, one in seventy-three sick dogs does not wake up, against one in one thousand one hundred and thirty-six for a healthy one, and chronic infection in the mouth is what moves a dog from the first number to the second. Anything a dog can swallow that reaches below the gum line buys us years before that decision has to be made."

    WHAT OWNERS ASK BEFORE THEY LIFT THE LIP

    gum-powder--t05
    check_box

    How does it work exactly?

    Under the edge of his gum there is a pocket, three to ten millimetres deep, and nothing you put in his mouth reaches it. The only thing that touches that pocket every hour of every day is his saliva, and his saliva comes from his blood. So he swallows the powder, it enters his blood, and it comes back into his mouth in his saliva. Once it is there, it strips the film the bacteria build to hold onto the tooth. They lose their grip, and the tartar cemented to that film starts letting go.

    check_box

    How is it different from a $1,247 cleaning?

    A cleaning scrapes the pocket out once, under general anaesthesia. Then it fills back in. That is a subscription, not a cure, and every year you repeat it your dog is a year older on the table. In the largest study on canine anaesthesia, 1 in 1,136 healthy dogs does not wake up. In sick dogs it is 1 in 73. Chronic infection in the mouth is what moves a dog from the first number to the second. This does not replace a cleaning your vet says is urgent. It is what you do the other 364 days.

    check_box

    Why a powder instead of a chew, a spray or a brush?

    Because of where the problem is. A chew, a spray and a brush all work above the gum line, on the part of the tooth you can see. The pocket is below it. In the literature on this seaweed, powder is the form with the strongest preventive effect, ahead of dental bites and ahead of dry food, and it is the only form your dog does not have to cooperate with. Two scoops on his food, four seconds, done.

    check_box

    How long does it take to see results?

    Weeks 1 and 2, nothing. The smell usually moves between weeks 2 and 4, because the sulphur compounds are the fastest thing to change. The gum line takes longer, and that is the thing to watch: lift his lip at week 6 and follow the line where the gum meets the tooth. Tartar that has already hardened does not dissolve, it stops spreading.

    check_box

    Is it safe, and who should not take it?

    It is whole dried seaweed with spinach, parsley, brewer's yeast and a little green tea, on a chicken liver base, swallowed with food. No abrasive, no surfactant, no foaming agent, no mint, no fragrance oil.

    One warning, and we print it on the tub: brown seaweed is naturally very high in iodine. This is not for a dog with a thyroid condition or on thyroid medication. If you are not sure, ask your vet before the first scoop. One question, one answer.

    check_box

    How much should I give?

    One scoop is 2 g and the scoop is in the tub. Under 22 lbs, one scoop a day. 22 to 77 lbs, two. Over 77 lbs, three. Sprinkle it on his food, dry or wet. There is no ramp-up and nothing to measure by eye.

    check_box

    What if it doesn't work for my dog?

    We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee. If his breath has not changed, keep the tub and email us for a full refund. No questions asked. The risk is ours, it has been his for years.

    check_box

    Why has nobody told me about the pocket?

    Because nobody writes "teeth" on the certificate. They write heart. They write kidney. They write cardiac arrest under anaesthesia. The cause and the outcome never carry the same name, so the link never gets made in front of you.

    And because the fix your vet is trained to offer needs an operating table. Telling you to brush is what is left when the real answer costs $1,247.

    Clean gum lines, no operating table
