Virbac C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit for Dogs, Poultry Flavor

The Virbac C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Kit is a starter set for brushing your dog’s teeth at home. It pairs a tube of poultry-flavored enzymatic toothpaste with a fingerbrush and a dual-ended toothbrush.

Who it suits

Owners who are new to brushing, or whose vet has suggested home dental care. The fingerbrush helps a dog get used to the routine before you switch to the regular brush.

What reviewers say

Petful, in a vet-written guide, chose C.E.T. as its enzymatic pick because the enzyme system is clearly named, but noted it is not VOHC accepted. AKC included Virbac’s enzymatic paste among top-rated dog toothpastes and mentioned the range of flavors.
