Customer reviews

Real routines, real reviews

In their own words, with their own photos.

A dog's teeth and gums shown up close by its owner

My dog is so picky, so I didn’t have high hopes for this, but she actually likes it! I just sprinkle a little on her food once a day, and she eats it right up—no fuss. Within about a week, I noticed her breath smelled way better, and her teeth looked cleaner too.

A customer holding a tub of the dental powder

My dog is still young 2.5 yrs old It is easy to use and I thought starting it early in our dogs life would be a good idea. Time will tell but the powder seems to work.

Krklepper M.

Two small dogs eating from their food bowls

I use Dental Powder on my two pups everyday - they LOVE it on their food and the results have been brilliant. Highly recommend this product!

An owner showing her dog's clean teeth

I started her on the dental powder before there was any problem to fix, because I knew how quickly dental issues creep up on dogs and how miserable it is to deal with once it’s set in.

Read full reviewShow less

At her last check-up the vet went through her mouth and was genuinely amazed. Clean white teeth, healthy pink gums, no tartar building along the back molars where it usually starts. She commented on it unprompted.

It takes seconds. I sprinkle it on her food every day and she’s never once noticed it’s there. If you’ve got a puppy, or an older dog, start now. This will be part of Poppy’s daily routine for life.

Has really worked well for our small Yorkie/beagle pup. We make sure to use it daily and it has really made a difference! So easy to use and she seems to love the taste. Would definitely recommend!

I've always found it hard to keep on top of Noodle's dental health - he hates the toothbrush! This dental powder is so easy to use, Noodle loves it and has great results. Pearly whites all round!

What to expect

A routine, not an overnight fix

Daily dental care works through consistency. Here is what the first three months look like.

Before Dog's teeth with yellow plaque and tartar build-up
After Dog's teeth looking clean and white

Illustrative photos. Results differ from dog to dog.

  1. Week 1

    Build the routine

    Introduce it gradually and work up to the full serving for your dog's weight.

  2. Week 4

    Consistency established

    Mealtime and the scoop now go together. A realistic first checkpoint for a daily routine.

  3. Week 8

    Keep the routine working

    Steady daily use keeps oral care going between meals, walks and vet visits.

  4. Week 12

    A long-term habit

    Keep it up alongside your vet's regular dental checks.

Every dog is different. Age, diet, breed and where your dog is starting from all play a part. Daily powder supports home oral care. Existing tartar usually needs a professional clean by your vet.

Directions

How much to give

One formula for every dog. The serving changes with weight. Mix it into food once a day.

Serving guide: half a scoop under 25 lb, one scoop 25 to 75 lb, one and a half scoops over 75 lb

Under 11 kg (25 lb)

½ scoop

About 60 days per tub

Suggested: 1 Tub plan

11 to 34 kg (25 to 75 lb)

1 scoop

About 30 days per tub

Suggested: 1 Tub plan

Over 34 kg (75 lb)

1½ scoops

About 20 days per tub

Suggested: 2 Tubs plan

First 7 days: start with about half the serving and build up to the full amount over a week.

Each tub holds 30 scoops, so how long it lasts depends on your dog's size. Small dogs on the 1 Tub plan will have spare powder, so pause a delivery from your account whenever you are stocked up.

Trust the process

Daily dental care is built for the long game, not an overnight fix. It works through steady, everyday use alongside regular checks with your vet. The more consistent the routine, the more it has a chance to do. Stick with it.

Common signs that a dog's teeth need attention

Something's off?

Signs worth a closer look

It often starts early

Many dogs as young as 3 already show some form of oral disease, such as tooth decay or bleeding gums, according to the American Kennel Club.

  • Breath that has changed or lingers
  • Yellow or brown buildup along the gumline
  • Gums that look red or seem sensitive
  • Buildup that keeps coming back between vet visits
  • An older dog who needs a gentler, easier routine
  • Small or flat-faced breeds with crowded teeth

See your vet if you notice persistent bad breath, red, bleeding or painful gums, loose or broken teeth, drooling, or trouble eating.

Sidekick is daily oral-care support. It is not a treatment for existing dental disease.

Why every day

Dental care is a daily job

Teeth are in use at every meal, so the care works best as part of every day too.

  1. Plaque keeps forming

    Plaque builds up on teeth after eating, day after day. That is why a once-in-a-while effort rarely keeps up.

  2. Plaque can harden

    Left alone, plaque can harden into tartar, which usually needs your vet to remove.

  3. Home care plus vet care

    Daily care at home and regular dental checks with your vet work together. One does not replace the other.

  4. Small and steady wins

    A routine you actually keep does more than a big effort you only manage now and then.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I use Sidekick Dental Powder?

Add the serving for your dog's weight to their food once a day and mix it in. That is the whole routine.

How much should I give my dog?

Under 11 kg (25 lb): ½ scoop daily. 11 to 34 kg (25 to 75 lb): 1 scoop daily. Over 34 kg (75 lb): 1½ scoops daily.

Why is the serving based on weight?

Bigger dogs eat more and have bigger mouths, so the serving scales with size. It is one formula with three serving sizes.

How long does one tub last?

Each tub holds 30 scoops. At the full serving that is about 60 days for dogs under 11 kg, about 30 days for dogs 11 to 34 kg, and about 20 days for dogs over 34 kg.

Why do I start with a smaller serving?

Starting with about half the serving and building up over 7 days gives your dog time to get used to something new in their food.

When should I expect to notice changes?

Think in weeks, not days. The brown algae research measured changes at 30, 60 and 90 days of daily use. Every dog is different, and existing tartar usually needs a professional clean.

Does this replace brushing?

No. Vets regard daily brushing as the gold standard. Sidekick is an easy daily step on the days brushing does not happen, and it can sit alongside brushing.

Does this replace veterinary dental care?

No. Keep up regular dental checks with your vet. Sidekick supports home oral care. It does not treat dental disease.

What ingredients are inside?

Per scoop: brown algae 1,000 mg, zeolite 400 mg, pomegranate powder 300 mg, L-glutamine 200 mg, cranberry powder 100 mg, marshmallow root powder 100 mg, perilla seed extract 100 mg and chamomile powder. Inactive: spinach, maltodextrin, yeast extract, silicon dioxide and nutritional yeast. See the full panel above.

What is brown algae (Ascophyllum nodosum)?

A seaweed from the North Atlantic. It has been studied in dogs for plaque and tartar build-up. It is naturally rich in iodine.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. It is designed as a daily food topper at the serving for your dog's weight. If your dog has a thyroid condition, is pregnant or is on medication, ask your vet first.
