STAY-CLEAN™
Dental problems are near the top of the list of reasons for a cat to visit the vet. Cats who primarily eat pureed moist food are particularly affected by tooth problems, because their teeth are no longer sufficiently employed during food intake.
The natural tooth cleaning process while eating no longer takes place, and increased levels of plaque form on the teeth. Fighting plaque formation with feeding is a very important part of dental care.The LEONARDO® product range has placed great value on dental care.
STAY Clean™ is applied externally to the LEONARDO® croquettes. This enables its bacteriostatic effect to develop immediately. This is particularly important for cats, because as meat eaters they chew very little when feeding. Many other dental care products used with humans would therefore be ineffective in cat food, because they must be rubbed into the enamel of the teeth for 2 to 3 minutes to be effective. LEONARDO® dry food with STAY Clean™ makes an effective contribution to feline dental care.

- STAY Clean™, a special supplement of highly soluble Vitamin C for LEONARDO® dry food, has been proven to reduce the growth of plaque-forming bacteria.
- LEONARDO® dry food - especially the large croquette of LEONARDO® Adult MaxiCroc - encourages chewing activity and scouring of plaque.
- LEONARDO® moist food is not pureed. The natural "chunkiness" of the meat was deliberately retained to encourage chewing.
