How to Help Your Pet Live Longer and Have Great Teeth

The Simple Ocean Nutrient That Supports Oral Health and Longevity

Can you really help your dog or cat live longer?

It turns out yes, and you do not need expensive “longevity supplements” to see a difference. There is a simple natural nutrient from the ocean that can support your pet’s oral health and may even slow the aging process.

It comes from brown seaweed, and I use it every day with my own pets.

We have a complete oral support product that contains this seaweed here:

Dr. Jones’ ULTIMATE Oral Health Formula for Dogs and Cats

Dr. Jones’ Ultimate Oral Health Probiotic is a premium daily supplement for dogs and cats, expertly formulated by Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM, to naturally support oral hygiene and overall dental well-being. This unique blend combines three carefully selected probiotic strains with targeted oral and immune health nutrients, creating a powerful synergistic formula. The supplement is a powder and comes with a scoop. It contains 60 servings for pets under 40lbs.

Why Oral Health Matters for Longevity

Aging in our pets starts at the cellular level. Every tissue in a dog or cat’s body relies on a healthy system of cells working together. Over time these cells slow down, which affects digestion, metabolism, the immune system, heart function, and much more.

Your pet’s mouth plays a big part in how fast this aging progresses.

How Poor Oral Health Accelerates Aging

Years of plaque and tartar eventually lead to periodontal disease. It is the single most common health problem in adult dogs and cats.

The trouble is not just bad breath or dirty teeth. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and travel to major organs. This can worsen disease in the heart, liver, and kidneys. Research has even linked advanced periodontal disease to cognitive decline in older dogs.

Healthy teeth and gums can truly help your pet stay healthier for longer.

Understanding NAD and the Aging Process

A big part of aging involves a drop in NAD levels. NAD is a vital molecule involved in energy production, metabolism, and DNA repair. Low NAD is linked to faster aging in both humans and animals.

Many new “longevity supplements” target NAD with synthetic ingredients such as NMN. Not only is NMN now classified as an investigational drug in the United States, it does nothing for oral health.

So the question becomes:
How can we naturally support oral health and NAD levels at the same time?

The answer comes from the ocean.

Brown Seaweed: Natural Support for Teeth and Longevity

Brown seaweeds contain powerful compounds such as fucoidan and marine polyphenols. These nutrients have been shown to help support:

Healthy NAD levels
Better mitochondrial function
Improved energy production
DNA repair
Reduced inflammation

One of the most researched brown seaweeds is Ascophyllum nodosum, the primary ingredient in our new Dental Formula. It is rich in fucoidan, a compound studied for its anti-aging and immune support benefits.

How Brown Seaweed Helps the Teeth

When used daily, brown seaweed can:

Decrease plaque
Reduce tartar buildup
Support healthy gums
Freshen the breath
Help manage gingivitis

If your pet refuses brushing or hates oral gels, adding a small amount of brown seaweed directly to their food is one of the easiest ways to help their teeth.

Suggested Daily Amount

1/8 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight.

Simple, gentle, and effective.

A Practical Way to Use This Daily

If your pet struggles with dental home care, or if you cannot afford veterinary dental procedures, using a supplement that combines brown seaweed with other oral support nutrients can make a huge difference.

Our formula includes:

Unique Oral Probiotics to support healthy bacteria in the mouth
Organic Kelp for minerals and antioxidants
Microcrystalline Cellulose for proper ingredient delivery
Zinc for gum strength and immune support
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for gum health and cellular energy

Final Thoughts

There has been an explosion of interest in longevity research for both people and pets. At the same time, we have known for years that oral health directly affects lifespan.

If you help your pet keep their teeth clean and their gums healthy, you are also helping their heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and immune system.

A simple daily sprinkle of brown seaweed can support better oral health and may help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life.
