VENZYMEL products help reduce microbial load in your pet’s mouth and thereby reduce bad breath. They are suitable for dental and gum hygiene after tartar removal and for gum and mucous membrane inflammation. These are the only products on the market designed for oral hygiene that contain a patented blend of proteolytic enzymes. These affect inflammation and support regeneration in a form that is easy to apply and excellently tolerated by animals. VENZYMEL products were developed by the Czech family company Wald Pharmaceuticals together with the human ENZYMEL line.

Mucoadhesivity means adhesiveness. It refers to the gel’s ability to adhere to the oral mucosa and resist saliva and tongue movements. Mucoadhesivity extends the duration of action of proteolytic enzymes and chlorhexidine. VENZYMEL veterinary gels and ENZYMEL gels for human use are the only truly mucoadhesive gels on the Czech market.

Gels that have flavor (even very mild) induce excessive saliva production and animals lick them off themselves. Because VENZYMEL gels are completely unflavored, the gel is not quickly washed away from the site where it should act. This significantly extends its duration of action.

Thanks to the synergistic action of the patented enzyme blend, we were able to reduce the amount of chlorhexidine digluconate to a concentration of 0.035% while maintaining up to 4× higher antimicrobial action than if the gel contained chlorhexidine alone.

VENZYMEL Prevent 35 can be used for daily and long-term oral care of pets for up to 8 weeks. Thanks to the action of active enzymes and chlorhexidine, it helps maintain gums and teeth in good condition.

In case of acute problems, use the VENZYMEL Intensive 120 variant with higher chlorhexidine content, which you can use for up to 14 days and then switch back to VENZYMEL Prevent 35.

VENZYMEL Intensive 120 can be used for intensive up to 14-day oral care of pets in situations where it is necessary to minimize or stop the risk of bacterial infection. The contained proteolytic enzymes also help regenerate healthy gums and mucous membranes. After using up VENZYMEL Intensive 120 gel, you can continue with VENZYMEL Prevent 35 oral gel, which is designed for long-term use in pets.

Use the gels as an alternative to toothpaste or apply them to the problematic area (directly with the narrow neck of the applicator, using a cotton swab, soft brush, or clean finger) and spread. They are completely unflavored, easily adhere to mucous membranes, do not irritate them, and do not cause unwanted salivation. Therefore, they act significantly longer than flavored gels and are excellently tolerated even by the smallest animals. Adjust the amount according to the size of the animal. We do not recommend eating or drinking 30 minutes before gel application and 30 minutes after.

Proteolytic enzymes have the ability to enhance the effect of locally applied antibiotics and antiseptics, in this case chlorhexidine. Enzymes break down bonds between bacteria in biofilm (plaque) and thus allow the antimicrobial agent to penetrate into deeper layers of plaque and effectively target microbes.

The combination with proteolytic enzymes allowed us to reduce the concentration of chlorhexidine while maintaining effectiveness across the entire spectrum. This significantly limited side effects that usually accompany the use of products with higher chlorhexidine concentrations – salivation and taste disorders or enamel discoloration.

During tartar removal, the veterinarian performs, among other things, deep cleaning, i.e., removing tartar below the gum line. In doing so, the practitioner cannot avoid certain traumatization of soft tissues and gums may swell or bleed for a certain period.

These are typical manifestations of ongoing inflammation that soft tissues must deal with. Traumatized tissue is also more susceptible to bacterial colonization. Using VENZYMEL products with proteolytic enzymes can significantly simplify the healing of soft tissues and simultaneously extend the effect of the performed dental hygiene.
