Product Information
ENZYMATIC PLUS CALCIUM FORMULA: Goes beyond standard enzymatic toothpastes by adding calcium, which supports tooth enamel strength as a building block for dogs' dental structure alongside the daily plaque and tartar action.
BAKING SODA DISSOLVES INTO HARD-TO-REACH AREAS: Baking soda particles break down during brushing and reach between teeth and along the gumline to deodorize odor sources and support cleaning in areas a brush may not fully reach.
FLUORIDE-FREE, DYE-FREE, NON-TOXIC FORMULA: Made without fluoride, dyes, or toxic ingredients, making this toothpaste appropriate for dogs who may swallow toothpaste during brushing, from puppies through senior dogs.
CHICKEN FLAVOR ACCEPTED BY MOST DOGS: Chicken-flavored formula is designed to encourage compliance, helping reduce brushing resistance and making it easier to maintain the 2-3 times weekly schedule that delivers visible results.
VALUE SIZE 6.2 OZ — 2X MORE THAN STANDARD TUBES: At 6.2 oz, this tube provides more than twice the volume of a standard 2.5 oz toothpaste, reducing reorder frequency for households brushing one or multiple dogs regularly.
USE WITH ANY DOG TOOTHBRUSH OR FINGER BRUSH: Apply a small amount to a toothbrush, silicone finger brush, or regular finger; for first-time brushers, let the dog lick from the finger before progressing to gumline brushing.
PART OF THE COMPLETE CARE DENTAL SYSTEM: Pairs with Arm & Hammer Complete Care water additives, toothbrushes, dental chews, and mints for a full at-home oral care routine that supports daily dental health management.
Arm & Hammer Complete Care Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste is a value-size 6.2 oz formula that combines enzymatic tartar control, baking soda cleaning, and added calcium in a single toothpaste. The enzymatic action targets plaque and tartar during brushing, baking soda dissolves into hard-to-reach areas for deodorizing, and calcium supports tooth enamel as a structural building block. The formula is fluoride-free, dye-free, and non-toxic. This toothpaste suits owners who brush regularly and go through smaller tubes quickly, households with multiple dogs, and anyone who wants the enhanced calcium formula over standard enzymatic toothpaste. Chicken flavor supports compliance for most dogs. The added calcium differentiates this formula from standard enzymatic toothpastes by addressing enamel support as well as plaque and tartar control, making it a more comprehensive dental product for long-term oral care routines. The 6.2 oz value size reduces per-ounce cost compared to standard 2.5 oz tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe if my dog swallows the toothpaste during brushing instead of spitting it out?
Yes, the formula is non-toxic, fluoride-free, and dye-free, so it is designed to be safe even when swallowed during regular brushing.
Does this toothpaste contain fluoride, xylitol, or other ingredients toxic to dogs?
It is fluoride-free, dye-free, and contains no xylitol, making it a safer choice than many human or generic pet toothpastes.
Can I use this toothpaste on my 10-week-old puppy safely?
Yes, the gentle, swallowable formula is appropriate for puppies through senior dogs, including young puppies being introduced to brushing.
Will the baking soda irritate my dog's gums if they have sensitive or bleeding gum tissue?
The baking soda is finely formulated to dissolve gently during brushing, and many owners with sensitive-gum dogs use it successfully, though you can always start with finger application for lighter contact.
Is this safer than enzymatic toothpastes from lesser-known brands?
It is made by Arm & Hammer, a brand with a long-standing reputation for baking soda-based cleaning, and includes a non-toxic, fluoride-free ingredient list suitable for daily canine use.
How do I know this won't cause an allergic reaction in my dog?
The formula is dye-free and free from common irritants, but as with any new product, you can do a small patch test on the gum or lip before the first full brushing.
Is this toothpaste safe to use alongside prescription dental products from my vet?
In most cases, yes, but it is best to check with your veterinarian if your dog is on a prescribed dental treatment plan to avoid ingredient overlap.
What happens if my dog eats a large amount of toothpaste straight from the tube?
While the formula is non-toxic, consuming a large quantity may cause mild gastrointestinal upset; store the tube out of reach and contact your vet if a large amount is consumed.
Is this safer than using baking soda mixed with water as a homemade dog toothpaste?
Yes, this is a balanced formula designed for canine oral chemistry, unlike homemade baking soda pastes that can disrupt pH and damage enamel over time.
Can I leave the tube on the bathroom counter safely around curious pets and toddlers?
It is non-toxic, but it is still best practice to close the cap and store it out of reach of toddlers and pets to prevent chewing the tube itself.
I switched from a fluoride dog toothpaste, is this transition really safe long-term?
Yes, veterinary-formulated fluoride-free options like this one are considered safe for lifelong use and reduce the risk associated with fluoride ingestion in dogs.
Does the chicken flavor use any artificial preservatives I should be worried about?
The formula is dye-free and designed with canine-safe flavoring, but you can review the full ingredient list on the packaging if you have specific sensitivities to check.
I'm nervous about brushing my senior dog's teeth, is the formula gentle enough?
Yes, the non-toxic, fluoride-free formula is appropriate for senior dogs, and you can use finger application to control pressure on aging teeth and gums.
Is this toothpaste safer than edible dental chews for aggressive chewers?
Toothpaste carries no choking or fragment risk, making it a safer daily preventive compared to chews that some dogs try to swallow whole.
Will brushing with this toothpaste be safe for my dog after a recent dental cleaning?
Yes, gentle enzymatic brushing is usually encouraged post-cleaning, but follow your vet's specific timeline for resuming brushing after any dental procedure.
I'm worried about long-term enamel damage from daily brushing, does the calcium really help?
The added calcium is included to support enamel structural strength, which is one of the main differentiators from standard enzymatic toothpastes that only address plaque and tartar.
How do I brush my dog's teeth with this toothpaste step by step?
Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a dog toothbrush, silicone finger brush, or your bare finger. Lift the lip and gently brush in circular motions along the outer gumline and between teeth, focusing on the back molars where tartar builds up fastest. Aim for two to three sessions per week.
How much toothpaste should I use per brushing session?
A pea-sized amount is enough for most dogs. For very small puppies, a dab the size of a grain of rice is plenty, since the formula is meant to be safe if swallowed.
How long does it take to see results in my dog's breath and tartar?
With consistent two to three times weekly brushing, most owners notice fresher breath within the first week and visible tartar reduction within several weeks.
Is this toothpaste compatible with silicone finger brushes and standard dog toothbrushes?
Yes, it works with any dog toothbrush, silicone finger brush, or bare finger application, so you can choose the method that suits your dog best.
Can I use a human toothbrush on my dog with this toothpaste?
Yes, a soft-bristled human toothbrush can work in a pinch, though a dog-specific brush or silicone finger brush is often easier to maneuver inside a dog's mouth.
What comes in the box when I order this product?
You will receive one 6.2 oz tube of Arm & Hammer Complete Care Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste in chicken flavor. A toothbrush or finger brush is not included and can be purchased separately.
Is this toothpaste safe for dogs that swallow it during brushing?
Yes, the formula is non-toxic, fluoride-free, and dye-free, so it is designed to be safe even when swallowed during routine brushing.
Can this toothpaste be used on puppies and senior dogs alike?
Yes, it is appropriate for all life stages, from puppies being introduced to brushing through senior dogs needing gentle enamel support.
What is the difference between enzymatic dog toothpaste and regular pet toothpaste?
Enzymatic formulas use natural enzyme action to help break down plaque and tartar, while many basic toothpastes rely only on mechanical brushing. This formula also adds calcium for enamel support and baking soda for deodorizing.
