Dog dental health: Why CoQ10 and Propolis belong in your dog's daily routine
Your dog's dental health is more than fresh breath — it's part of their overall wellness. This guide walks through Healthy Teeth & Gums by Terry Naturally Animal Health: a daily beef-flavored chewable that combines CoQ10 and EP300™ propolis to support periodontal health, clean teeth, and fresher breath from the inside out. You'll also learn how it fits into a complete dental routine alongside brushing and vet visits.
CoQ10: The cellular energy molecule that defends the gums
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound present in virtually every cell in the body, where it plays a fundamental role in energy production at the mitochondrial level. It is also one of the most important antioxidants in cellular membranes, protecting cells from oxidative damage. These properties are well-established in cardiovascular, cognitive, and muscle health research—but CoQ10 has a less widely recognized but equally compelling role in periodontal health.
Supplemental CoQ10 has shown beneficial effects on periodontal health both through oral administration and topical application directly to the gums. In the chewable format of Healthy Teeth & Gums, the act of chewing helps deliver CoQ10 directly to gum tissue where it is most needed—maximizing its cellular-energizing actions.
Beyond its dental benefits, CoQ10 supports cardiovascular function and cognitive health in dogs—making it a broadly valuable addition to a senior dog's supplemental routine.
