Aquadent FR3SH Dental Water Additive for Dogs & Cats
Aquadent FR3SH is a vet-formulated water additive for dogs and cats that fights bad breath and plaque using inulin, pomegranate and erythritol. Simply add to drinking water daily.
Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats, with the majority of pets over three years of age showing some degree of plaque build-up, tartar or gum inflammation. The challenge for most pet owners is that regular toothbrushing, while effective, is genuinely difficult to maintain consistently, particularly with cats or dogs that will not tolerate it. Aquadent FR3SH offers a practical daily alternative that requires no brushing, no handling of the mouth and no effort beyond adding the correct dose to your pet's drinking water each day. Formulated by veterinary dental specialists and built around three natural active ingredients, it addresses both the oral and digestive causes of bad breath while helping to control plaque.
How Aquadent FR3SH Works
Aquadent FR3SH uses the brand's proprietary FR3SH technology, a combination of three natural ingredients that each target a different aspect of oral and digestive health:
- Inulin: A natural prebiotic fibre that addresses the digestive causes of bad breath. Bad breath in pets does not always originate solely in the mouth. Imbalances in gut bacteria can contribute significantly to unpleasant breath odour, and inulin helps support a healthier gut microbiome that reduces this digestive component of the problem.
- Pomegranate Concentrate: An antioxidant that helps promote gum health. Gum inflammation and early periodontal disease are key contributors to bad breath and dental deterioration. The antioxidant properties of pomegranate help support healthier gum tissue at a cellular level.
- Erythritol: A naturally occurring sugar alcohol that freshens the mouth and contributes to an oral environment less hospitable to the bacteria responsible for plaque formation and odour. Unlike xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, erythritol is safe for use in both dogs and cats.
Together these three ingredients create a multi-pathway approach to oral health that goes beyond simply masking bad breath with flavourings, addressing the underlying causes rather than covering them up.
Easy to Use, Proven Palatability
One of the most common reasons dental supplements fail in real households is that pets simply refuse to drink treated water, making the product useless regardless of its clinical effectiveness. Aquadent FR3SH has been tested for palatability and is proven not to reduce water consumption in dogs and cats when used at the recommended dose. A dosing cap is included with every bottle for accurate measurement. For cats, the dose is 2.5ml per 250ml of fresh drinking water. For dogs it is 5ml per 500ml. Treated water should be refreshed daily and any unconsumed treated water discarded within 24 hours.
- Aquadent FR3SH 500ml - The 500ml bottle provides a generous supply for daily use. Suitable for all dogs and cats over 6 months of age. Replaces the original Aquadent formula with the improved FR3SH technology.

FAQs About Aquadent FR3SH
What is Aquadent FR3SH and how is it different from the original Aquadent?
Aquadent FR3SH is the updated formulation that has replaced the original Aquadent product. The FR3SH version uses an improved blend of three natural active ingredients, inulin, pomegranate concentrate and erythritol, which together target both the oral and digestive causes of bad breath rather than addressing only the mouth. The original Aquadent used a different formulation and Aquadent FR3SH represents the current recommended version of the product.
Is Aquadent FR3SH safe for both dogs and cats?
Yes. Aquadent FR3SH is formulated by veterinary dental specialists and is safe for use in both dogs and cats over 6 months of age. The ingredients, including erythritol, are specifically selected to be safe for both species. It is not intended for human consumption and should be kept out of reach of children. The dose differs between cats and dogs, so always follow the measuring instructions on the pack using the included dosing cap.
Will my pet refuse to drink water with Aquadent FR3SH added?
Aquadent FR3SH has been tested for palatability and proven not to reduce water consumption in dogs and cats at the recommended dose. Most pets accept the treated water without issue. If you have a particularly sensitive animal, you can introduce the product gradually by starting with a smaller dose over the first few days before building to the full recommended amount, allowing your pet to adjust to the taste.
How do I dose Aquadent FR3SH correctly?
Use the dosing cap provided with the bottle for accurate measurement. For cats, add 2.5ml of Aquadent FR3SH to 250ml of fresh drinking water. For dogs, add 5ml to 500ml of fresh water. Change the water daily, discard any unconsumed treated water within 24 hours, and always provide additional fresh untreated water alongside the treated bowl if your pet typically drinks large quantities.
Can Aquadent FR3SH replace toothbrushing?
Aquadent FR3SH is an effective complement to a dental hygiene routine and is a genuinely useful tool for reducing plaque and bad breath, particularly in pets that do not tolerate toothbrushing. However, toothbrushing remains the most effective single method for removing plaque from tooth surfaces when it is possible to do it consistently. For most pet owners, Aquadent FR3SH used daily alongside occasional toothbrushing and regular veterinary dental checks provides a practical and realistic approach to maintaining oral health over the long term.
Why does bad breath in pets sometimes come from digestion rather than the mouth?
Bad breath in dogs and cats does not always originate from dental disease or oral bacteria alone. Imbalances in gut microbiota can produce volatile sulphur compounds and other odorous gases that contribute to breath odour independent of oral hygiene. This is why a product that only targets the mouth may produce limited results in some pets. The inulin prebiotic component in Aquadent FR3SH specifically addresses this digestive pathway, supporting a healthier gut environment that reduces odour arising from the digestive system.
How long does the 500ml bottle last?
At the recommended dose, a 500ml bottle provides approximately 100 daily doses for a cat using 2.5ml per day, or 100 doses for a single dog bowl refill at 5ml per 500ml. For households with multiple pets or larger dogs that drink more water requiring larger volumes to be treated, the bottle will last a shorter period. It represents good value given the daily cost of use and the dental health benefit it provides over consistent long-term use.
