85% of dogs over the age of 3 years show signs of gum disease, the major cause of expensive dental work and tooth loss.

Proden PlaqueOffTM has been clinically proven to reduce and help prevent plaque and tartar. It is estimated 85% of dogs and 70% of cats over 3 years show signs of gum disease, the major cause of tooth loss. Gum disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque bacteria and is converted to calculus by the minerals naturally occuring in saliva. If gum disease is left untreated, it can lead to bad breath, pain, tooth loss and other health problems. By using Proden PlaqueOffTM, owners of dogs and cats can take a simple and effective step towards the animal's oral health.

Yard Clean Up Tonic - For a sweet smelling yard

1 cup chewing tobacco tea*
1 cup anti-septic mouthwash
1 cup liquid dish soap
4 drops tobasco sauce

* to make tobacco tea brew "3 fingers" in 1 gallon of boiling water
( I just guess how much "3 fingers" might be! You might prefer to make a smaller quantity but with heavy use of the facility it may be something you use quite often. )

Put the mixed tonic in a 20 gallon hose end spayer and wash down the entire yard (lawn, plants and shrubs, sidewalks, lawn furniture, etc.) I can see diluting the tonic and applying it directly to a fouled spot to eliminate distracting odors for the next dog, as well. I hope this is a workable solution for your facility. I sure love how well it works for my yard...and, boy, do 6 dogs make things pretty stinky around here!

If you do not want to use tobacco, then try it without.
