MaxiGuard OraZn is the first home dental care product for dogs, cats, and exotics offering neutralized zinc (pH 7) in hydrogel form. Neutralized zinc is a combination of select amino acids and zinc. Taurine and zinc gluconate form a complex bond that inhibits the precipitation of zinc in the neutral pH (6.8-7.2) range and the hydrogel adds mucoadhesion. In this narrow pH range an oral zinc preparation delivers increased bioavailability. Many veterinarians have experienced the unique topical benefits of Zn7 Derm. Zn7 is one of today's most popular dermatological topicals. OraZn is Zn7 for the oral cavity. OraZn is packaged in 2oz. soft squeeze bottles with built-in applicator tips.
How MaxiGuard OraZn works: Zinc is an essential trace element and a component of about 300 metallo-enzyme systems. Many of these enzymes play key roles in extra-cellular matrix remodeling, gingival healing, connective tissue repair, inflammation and cell proliferation for repair processes. With increased bioavailability, the zinc readily permeates plaque and oxidizes anaerobic bacteria. Taurine chelates with sulfur compounds and absorbs malodorous activity eliminating halitosis.

It helps control gingivitis, plaque and halitosis especially well in:
With cats use a pea sized droplet from your finger tip, gauze pad or swab. Simply rub this amount of gel onto the gum areas above the outside back upper molars on each side of the mouth. A gentle bathing action will distribute the neutralized zinc gel to remote areas of the mouth. Use slightly more for small dogs. Daily application is preferred and the product is easy to apply.
