If you do not have a copy of the manufacturer’s patient information leaflet please talk to your pharmacist. A few products do not have a marketing authorisation (licence) as a medicine and therefore there is no PIL.

For some reason, most dog owners/Shih Tzu owner tends to forget the importance of regular brushing of the teeth. Like people, dogs need to get the plaque and bacteria off their teeth so that they don’t turn into complications, specifically gum disease, tooth decay, and infections that could spread to vital organs. Dogs need to express or empty their sacs in small amounts on a sort of a regular basis because if they don’t, painful and “fishy” complications may occur.
