A company named International Dental, based out of Rancho Cucamonga, California, today announced that it has launched a new product designed to freshen a pet's breath and clean its teeth.

The product is called, "ProDen PlaqueOff Animal" and comes in the form of small granules that you sprinkle into your dog's food. According to the company's press release:

Made from a strain of seaweed in the Ascophyllum nodosum family, ProDen PlaqueOff Animal granules are formulated to be added to a pet's food; the taste appeals to most dogs and cats. With daily use, the supplement is effective against bad breath, tartar and plaque within a few weeks.
