Your Pet's Oral Microbiome and Dental Health
Most savvy pet parents today understand that a healthy gut microbiome is essential for a pet's immunity, digestion, and even brain health. We spend time finding the best probiotics and food to keep their bellies happy. But did you know that the "gut" actually begins in the mouth? Just like the gut, the mouth is home to a vast ecosystem of microorganisms that impact our pet's long term health.
The "SMMRT" Approach: Don't Kill It, Cultivate the Good
For decades, the standard approach to dental care has been to wipe out bacteria using harsh antiseptics or mechanical scraping. However, this destroys the beneficial bacteria your pet needs for protection. TEEF takes a revolutionary approach called SMMRT™ Science (Selective Microbial Metabolism Regulation Technology). Instead of killing the microbiome, TEEF rehabilitates it using a patented prebiotic formula.
Think of it as putting the bacteria in your pet's mouth on a "Keto Diet"
- The Problem: Harmful bacteria thrive on carbohydrates and sugars, which they ferment into acid and slime (plaque) that cause inflammation and disease.
- The Solution: TEEF's formula uses soluble fiber to block bacteria from eating sugars. Simultaneously, ingredients like Vitamin B6 and L-Arginine retrain the bacteria to eat proteins instead.
- The Result: When bacteria eat protein, they stop producing the sticky, acidic byproducts that cause tooth decay and gum inflammation.
Invented by a Scientist, Inspired by Love
TEEF wasn't created in a corporate boardroom; it was born out of a personal mission. The formula was invented by Dr. Emily Stein, a highly respected microbiologist with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Immunology & Rheumatology from Stanford University.
Dr. Stein’s journey began with human health. She originally developed pHossident, a clinically proven dental formula for pregnant women and older adults. However, her focus expanded to animals after a heartbreaking personal experience: she almost lost her own grandmother and her 10-year-old rescue dog to health complications caused by severe dental disease.
Determined to prevent this for others, she applied her expertise in soft tissue inflammation and the microbiome to create a solution that adds years to our pets' lives.
Backed by Serious Science
TEEF isn't just a theory; it is backed by years of rigorous testing.
- Proven Safety: In a long-term study of over 300 dogs across 365 days, TEEF was shown to be safe with no observed resistance.
- Proven Results: The study confirmed that the formula successfully decreased the burden of harmful bacteria (like Porphyromonas) while significantly increasing beneficial, protective bacteria (like Lactobacillus).
- Visible Improvement: In case studies, pets showed significant reductions in tartar, gum inflammation, and bad breath in as little as 30 days.
Healthier Mouth, Longer Life
TEEF is more than just a dental product; it is a longevity product. By adding just one scoop of the tasteless prebiotic powder to your pet's water bowl, you are stopping the problem at the source.
You are likely already supporting your pet's gut health—now it’s time to protect where it all starts.
