What’s the benefit of chlorhexidine on a beef hide chew?
Chlorhexadine controls bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It inhibits plaque and works for up to 12 hours. Paradoxically, while inhibiting the rate of plaque formation, chlorhexidine increases the rate of calculus formation. Typically chlorhexidine is used as a rinse rather than in a toothpaste because some of the ingredients routinely in toothpastes inactivate it. Some pets don’t like the taste of chlorhexidine.
