This at-home test analyzes the bacteria in your dog’s mouth to assess their oral health. Poor oral health can cause bad breath, gum disease, tooth loss, and other health issues. With the Oral Health Test, you can evaluate the health of your dog’s oral microbiome to determine if they need a dental cleaning or other intervention. Only ships to US addresses.
