About Us

Petdentist pet dental care products for dogs and cats

Founded by a dental surgeon. Built around one idea: daily care your pet will actually accept.

Petdentist® was founded by Dr Deepak Songra BDS, a dental surgeon with more than 35 years in clinical practice (General Dental Council registration no. 68552). Thirty-five years of looking after human mouths teaches you one thing above all: the results come from what happens at home every day, not from the occasional professional clean.

The same is true for dogs and cats. Most owners know they should be cleaning their pet's teeth. Most give up because their pet hates it. So we set out to find and make products pets accept: a toothpaste in flavours dogs and cats want to lick off the brush, brushes that are gentle and easy to hold, chew toys that turn cleaning time into play, and probiotic powders that simply sprinkle onto food.

Merlo, Cavapoo, the face of Petdentist®

Merlo is Deepak's Cavapoo and the dog you will see across this site. He is a daily reminder of the question behind every product we choose: would a real dog or cat accept this every day? Pets cannot tell you when their mouth is sore, so a calm daily routine, started early and kept short, is one of the kindest habits you can give them.

What we sell

  • Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste – VOHC Accepted for plaque control in dogs, safe to swallow, in London Broil, Rotisserie Chicken and Say Cheese flavours. Brush it on, or apply it with your finger if your pet will not tolerate a brush yet.
  • Toothbrushes – a long-handled brush with soft charcoal bristles for medium and large dogs, and a plastic-free bamboo brush with a travel case for dogs and cats.
  • Petdentist® probiotic powders – complementary feeds for dogs and cats that support normal digestion, added to food once a day.
  • Dental chew toys – natural rubber and cotton rope toys that keep dogs chewing, tugging and fetching.

How we talk about our products

Our products are non-medicinal daily-care products, not veterinary medicines. They help keep teeth clean and breath fresh as part of a routine; they do not treat or prevent dental disease, and we will never tell you they do. Deepak is a dental surgeon in human dentistry, not a veterinary surgeon, and nothing on this site is veterinary advice. If your pet has red or bleeding gums, loose or broken teeth, persistent bad breath, dribbling or has gone off their food, please see your vet. We think honest claims are part of looking after your pet properly.

Customer video review of Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

My cat loves the toothpaste more than he likes the toothbrush, however since the chicken flavor isn’t that strong my other cat (who usually eats anything) doesn’t like it, so I suggest putting more flavoring into the toothpaste or mixing it with a treat. Also the customer service is great 😊

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

Store owner replied: Hi SUMMEYAH, Thank you for your review and video. That is great. I appreciate your feedback and will relay it to the US manufacturer. I'm happy you are brushing your beautiful cat's teeth! Well done.

Customer photo review of Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

Second time I’ve ordered from Pet Dentist and had the same quick delivery as before. Highly recommended.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

Store owner replied: Hi Donna, Thank you for your comments . Really appreciated! Glad your furry friend is enjoying teeth cleaning time.

This is truly the best pet toothpaste. The only one recognised by the VOC. I was surprised to receive a bill for the tax on this product when I was ordering within Europe. Maybe I missed something in the small print so the product ended up being VERY expensive.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Rotisserie Chicken Flavour)

Only been using the toothpaste for a few days but think I am already seeing a difference, Rosie's breath isn't as bad as it once was, hopefully it will continue to get better. So far very happy.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Say Cheese Flavour)

My chihuahua had to have a lot of teeth taken out. I wanted the remaining teeth to be well looked after. This toothpaste is brilliant, her teeth are clean and her breath is good. I also use mouthwash and plaque off and make sure none of her treats have sugar. I got her when she was 6 and think the damage to her teeth had already been done

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (London Broil Flavour)

Our little former street dog is very picky and on top has been very sceptical with dental care products in the past, but with this one we have been able to brush every day so far. So: thank you!

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (London Broil Flavour)

I've used this since 2022 for my pomeranian who was having tummy troubles (constipation, food intolerance, diarrhea, wind). Pro's - What I love about this product is that it's palatable for the fussiest of dogs, and it's enriched with so many other vitamins and nutrients, it isn't bulked with unnecessary fillers. Lots of nature's ingredients. Con's - plastic! This product contains clay, which should never be contained in plastic or metal, due to its absorbing properties. Also, plastic! It's horrible for the environment, even if recycled ♻️ plastic can only be recycled once.... Price, from my first use it has increased to three times as much! Unfortunately, my budget doesn't stretch that far, no matter how much I like the product.

High Fibre Probiotics for Cats & Dogs

A tentative 4 stars as we have only been using the toothpaste for possibly 10 to 12 days. It could make a 5. However, I saw my vet at the start of the week, and she checked my old dog's dreadful teeth, and she remarked that the tartar was soft. I have noticed that the tips of his canines are beginning to show some white. Both of my dogs' breath has improved, and they both like the toothpaste, so I am HOPEFUL. My old chap can't be put out for the vets to clean them due to heart disease.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Rotisserie Chicken Flavour)

My chihuahua likes this & will accept it by licking it off my little finger. After a week of regular use I can see a difference in her teeth already. They are whiter & her breath is now fresh. I shall continue to give her the Petsmile toothpaste as delighted with the results so far.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Rotisserie Chicken Flavour)

Expensive but effective. I brush both my dogs teeth daily with Petsmile and, beside a bit of mild staining, their teeth are in perfect condition.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (London Broil Flavour)

Store owner replied: Thank you Kirra! Appreciate the feedback and review. Keep up the good work! Best wishes, Deepak Songra Petdentist

This toothpaste is amazing. I wish I had taken a "before" picture of both my dogs teeth. I've been using the toothpaste for a few weeks daily and can see a massive difference. It's a whole lot cheaper than expensive vet dental treatment. Highly recommend

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Rotisserie Chicken Flavour)

Store owner replied: Thank you Yvonne. Appreciate the feedback. I am glad the toothpaste has helped ! it is great and works so effectively!

Petsmile is definitely the best toothpaste for your dog. I wouldnt use any other now. It really is so good and my dog loves the taste

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (London Broil Flavour)

Store owner replied: Thank you, Lynne, Which is great to hear and glad your dog really enjoys the taste and brushing routine!

I can't say that my cats like the flavor. They do not dislike it, however it cannot be used as a treat or reward after pilling, like another toothpaste… Hopefully it does help keep my cats' teeth clean!

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (Say Cheese Flavour)

Great product. One of only a couple approved by the VOHC. Cat likes the taste and keeping his teeth perfect. His breath is perfect as well.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste (London Broil Flavour)

Store owner replied: Hi Robin, Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated. Great product and very effective.

Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste

Store owner replied: Hi Alison, Thank you for your feedback and review. That is greatly appreciated. We are so pleased your dog enjoys their brushing routine with this Petsmile toothpaste. Keep up the good work!
