What should the liquid inside look like?
Acmella? This ingredient is questionable for safety in dogs. It numbs their mouth?
Answer by • Jan 03, 2022
Dr. Brite's founders and doctors advise that Acmella or Spilanthes also known as toothache plant is completely safe for pet use. In fact it is in many naturopathic pet oral care remedies and used in Veterinary medicine regularly. It has many properties and when eaten whole (flower or bud ) and in large quantities, it can numb the mouth. At full strength (undiluted), Acmella causes numbness, salivation and drooling - like when you get a numbing shot at the dentists.
In our formulation, Acmella is one of many ingredients that work together to help keep dogs and cats oral health balanced and prevent gum disease. So it will not numb your pet's mouth. We do not use Acmella at full strength allowing it to function synergistically as a detoxifying, restorative and cleansing ingredient in our pet oral care products.
