We often focus on food, exercise, and vet visits to keep our pets healthy, and we tend to overlook one crucial area: their dental health.
Like humans, your pet needs daily oral care to stay happy, healthy, and pain-free.
A recent article from Newsbreak pointed out a critical truth:
Most pets lose teeth not because of age, but due to untreated plaque and gum disease.
Over time, this buildup leads to:
Inflamed gums (gingivitis)
Painful infections
Loose or missing teeth
Bacteria entering the bloodstream, affecting vital organs like the heart and kidneys
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA):
By age 3, over 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease.
Brushing your pet’s teeth daily can:
Remove plaque and food particles
Prevent tartar buildup and bad breath
Support gum health and long-term wellness
But let’s be real, not every pet is a fan of brushing. Some hide. Some squirm. And many pet parents simply can’t keep up with the routine.
That’s exactly why we created something smarter.
At Furpeeps Labs Co., we believe in preventive care that’s simple, sustainable, and stress-free.
Smarter Water is an innovative, 100% natural powder that transforms your pet’s water bowl into a daily dental care system.
Add 2 scoops of Smarter Water every time you refill the bowl.
The tasteless, scent-free powder dissolves instantly.
Every sip helps:
Reduce plaque
Freshen breath
Support the oral microbiome
Made for pets that don’t like brushing
Safe for daily use / All day care
Made from 100% natural ingredients
Prevention With Every Drink = Long-Term Savings
Dental cleanings under anesthesia can cost $500–$1,000 per visit (if you’re lucky). Untreated dental disease can lead to vet bills in the thousands for advanced infections or organ damage.
According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet parents spend an average of $700–$1,500 per year on veterinary care — and dental procedures are one of the biggest unexpected costs. The good news? Most of these issues are preventable with daily care. Start by paying attention to signs like bad breath, which is often the first clue something’s wrong. Then, begin a regular dental routine — using Smarter Water twice a day can help you spot problems early and avoid expensive treatments later.
Dental disease is the #1 health issue in adult dogs and cats, and preventing it is far cheaper than treating it.
Smarter Water provides your pet with daily care, you're also:
1. Reducing the risk of emergency dental surgeries
2. Avoiding anesthesia-based cleanings
3. Saving hundreds to thousands of dollars per year
If you want to go the extra mile, use our soft, pet-friendly toothbrush along with Smarter Water:
Dip the brush into your Smarter Water mix
Gently reach corners and gum lines
Boost your pet’s oral hygiene a few times per week
Together, our powder + brush combo gives you a complete, veterinarian approved, effortless dental wellness routine.
Today’s veterinary dental guidelines recommend:
Daily brushing (ideally twice a day)
Use of oral health powders or water additives
Regular dental checkups
Pet-safe dental chews
With Smarter Water, you’re covering most of that —
In one easy step, with no chasing or struggling involved.
Your dog or cat deserves:
Fresh breath
Healthy gums
A pain-free mouth
And fewer visits to the vet
Skip the stress. Skip the drama.
Add Smarter Water to their bowl and let every sip support their dental health — from the inside out.
