Fresher breath and cleaner teeth

Supports Healthy Teeth and Gums

Supports Healthy Teeth & Gums

Sodium Bicarbonate is the proven workhorse in dental care, gently neutralising acids and supporting a healthy oral environment so teeth stay clean and gums stay happy.

Fresh Breath

Promotes Fresh Breath

Real peppermint and green tea extract work alongside rosemary to neutralise the bacteria that cause bad breath — not just mask it. Daily cuddles, no more flinching.

Targets Plaque and Tartar

Helps Target Plaque & Tartar Build-Up

A daily sprinkle reaches the hard-to-clean areas a toothbrush can’t — supporting cleaner teeth and helping slow new tartar from forming.

No Brushing Needed

No Brushing, No Struggle

Simply sprinkle the recommended scoop onto your dog’s food once daily. No fighting with brushes, no chasing your dog around the kitchen — it just works in the background.

Supports Oral Microbiome

Supports a Healthy Oral Microbiome

Green tea extract and rosemary deliver natural antioxidants that support a balanced oral environment — helping your dog’s mouth stay healthier between vet visits.

How It Works

It starts in the mouth.

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth every day. Left alone, it hardens into tartar, which inflames gums and leads to bad breath and dental disease. PetWell Fresh Smile works daily to disrupt this cycle — cleaning teeth from within.

1
Neutralise mouth acids Sodium Bicarbonate is a well-established dental ingredient that helps balance pH in the mouth, neutralising the acids that erode enamel and feed plaque-forming bacteria.
2
Target the bacteria behind bad breath Peppermint extract, green tea polyphenols, and rosemary work together to disrupt the bacteria that cause odour — tackling bad breath at the source instead of masking it.
3
Reach every corner of the mouth Sprinkled onto food, the powder coats teeth as your dog eats — reaching the back molars and tight gaps between teeth that a brush can’t. No brushing battle required.
4
Support long-term oral health Used daily, the formula supports a healthier oral microbiome — helping reduce future tartar formation and keep your dog’s teeth, gums, and breath in better shape between vet visits.

How to give PetWell Fresh Smile

No brushing, no chasing. Just measure one scoop based on your dog’s size and sprinkle it directly onto their food at mealtime. The powder coats teeth naturally as your dog eats.

For best results, give consistently every day — results build over time as plaque is disrupted before it can harden into tartar.

Customer Reviews

What dog owners are saying

Based on 118 reviews — 4.7 out of 5 stars

“My Frenchie had the WORST breath. Like, "don't-let-her-lick-the-baby" bad. Started Fresh Smile 3 weeks ago and I can actually let her cuddle with me again on the couch.”

Lerato S.

French Bulldog • 5 years

“I’ve tried brushing my Maltese’s teeth for years — war zone every time. This is brain-dead simple, you just sprinkle it on her food. Within a month her breath was so much better.”

Karen P.

Maltese • 7 years

“The vet quoted me R7,000 for a dental clean. I started Fresh Smile a few months back. At our last check-up the vet said her teeth looked “great” for her age. I’ll take that win.”

Thandi M.

Yorkie • 9 years

“Honestly didn’t expect much from a powder but the tartar near his back teeth has visibly gotten less. He’s a senior Dachshund and his dental health has been a worry for ages.”

Werner K.

Dachshund • 11 years

“My Pug used to make me gag with his breath. After about 6 weeks on Fresh Smile, my husband said “wait, his breath isn’t terrible anymore.” That’s when I knew it was working.”

Sarah B.

Pug • 4 years

“Easy, no fuss, no fighting. I sprinkle it on at breakfast. The scoop is exactly the right size. My Cavalier eats it without noticing, and her teeth do look cleaner.”

Mike J.

Cavalier King Charles • 3 years

“Took about 4 weeks before I noticed the difference but the plaque film along his gumline has reduced. For the price vs. annual vet dental, this is a no-brainer.”

Refilwe N.

Mixed breed • 6 years

“My senior Lab’s breath was getting worse with age. The vet mentioned dental disease at her last check. Started this 2 months ago and her last visit the vet noticed improvement. So pleased.”

Anna F.

Labrador • 10 years

Frequently Asked Questions

Over 80% of dogs develop signs of dental disease by age three. Small breeds and flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs are especially prone — Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Pugs, Frenchies, Dachshunds. Daily care helps prevent the buildup that leads to expensive vet dentals and serious health issues down the line.

Brushing is the gold standard if your dog tolerates it — but very few dogs do. Fresh Smile is for the rest of us. The powder coats teeth as your dog eats and reaches the back molars and tight gaps a brush often misses. Use it on its own or alongside brushing.

Simply measure one scoop based on your dog’s weight (Extra Small/Small = 1 scoop, Medium = 2 scoops, Large = 3 scoops) and sprinkle directly onto your dog’s food once daily. The scoop is included in every tub. That’s it — no brushing, no mixing, no fuss.

Fresh Smile has a very mild, neutral taste — the formula relies on real peppermint and herbs rather than strong artificial flavours. When sprinkled on food, the vast majority of dogs don’t notice it at all and finish their meal as normal.

Most pet parents notice fresher breath within 2–4 weeks of daily use. Visible improvements in plaque and tartar build-up typically appear over 60–90 days as the formula consistently disrupts buildup before it can harden.

Yes. Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) is one of the most well-studied dental ingredients in the world — safe for daily use in dogs at the levels found in Fresh Smile. It works by gently neutralising acids in the mouth and supporting a healthy oral environment.

It depends on your dog’s size. A typical tub provides roughly a one-month supply for small-to-medium dogs (1–2 scoops/day) and around 20–30 days for large dogs (3 scoops/day). Subscribers can adjust their delivery cadence to match.

Yes. Fresh Smile can be used alongside Probiotic Chew, Calming Chew, Joint Care Chew, and Clear Ears. They’re formulated to work together as part of a complete daily routine. If your dog is on medication or has a specific health condition, please consult your veterinarian first.

You can manage your subscription from your customer portal at any time. From there you can update your delivery address, change your payment method, skip a delivery, swap your bundle size, or cancel your subscription — all in a few clicks. You’ll find the link in your welcome email and every order confirmation.

Daily dental care delivers the best results — not occasional use. Subscribing makes sense if you want to keep your dog on a consistent routine — you save on every order, never run out, and your dog stays on the protocol that delivers results.

Yes. After your initial 3-month commitment, you can cancel any time from your customer portal — no calls, no emails required. Before then, you can still pause or skip deliveries to give yourself flexibility while staying on the programme.

You can skip a delivery directly from your customer portal at any time. If you’re going away, have a stockpile, or just want a break, your next order simply pushes back. Your subscription stays active and resumes with the following cycle.

Subscribers save on every order automatically, never run out, and get the benefit of consistent daily dosing — which is when dental care delivers the most lasting results. You can pause, skip, or change bundle size at any time from your portal.

Your first order is charged immediately. Each subsequent order is charged on the same date every month, before dispatch. You’ll see the upcoming charge date in your customer portal and can adjust it at any time.

Yes. You’ll receive a reminder email a few days before your next charge, so you have time to make changes — skip, swap, or pause — before the order goes through.

Cancelling is straightforward. Log in to your customer portal, go to your subscription, and click cancel. The link is in every order confirmation email. If you need help, you can also reach out to us directly and we’ll take care of it for you.
