Treat your pet's gum disease
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adult dogs and cats
Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and spread throughout your pet's body. In fact, recent studies link gum disease in dogs and cats to a shorter lifespan, as well as heart, lung, and kidney disease.

Is your pet having trouble chewing their food?
Adult dogs and cats suffering from tooth loss due to severe gum disease are forced to change how they eat. Over time, this difficulty chewing can lead to malnutrition. When left untreated, gum disease isn't just painful for your pets - it can wreak havoc on their entire body.
Gum disease is the most common health issue affecting cats and dogs
If your pet happens to have periodontitis, it’s time to get busy! While there is no known cure for periodontal disease in dogs and cats, just like diabetes, it can be managed and controlled with the Periocine periodontal maintenance program.
Bleeding Gums
Did you know that over 80% of dogs develop gum disease by the age of three?
Most dogs and cats with periodontitis will show signs of redness, swelling, and bleeding along the gums at the base of the teeth. They may also be reluctant or unwilling to eat, drool, turn their heads to the side when chewing, and develop bad breath (halitosis).
How Our Targeted Gum Treatment Works (Watch the Video Below)
Periocin uses advanced nanoparticle technology to deliver targeted relief directly to your pet's gums. The medication is packed into tiny microcapsules containing the active ingredient, minocycline.
Once applied to the gum pocket, these capsules slowly dissolve, releasing a steady dose of medication for at least 14 days. The special polymer that holds the medicine serves three vital purposes: it controls the release of the drug, helps the treatment stick securely to the gums, and keeps the medication stable. Once finished, the capsule naturally and safely dissolves into the body.
Formulated for deep tissue penetration
The medication absorbs deeply into the infected gum pockets. With a 37.5% improvement, our minocycline microspheres set a new industry-leading standard for formulation purity.
Protecting the Tissue That Holds Teeth in Place
Periocin helps damaged gums heal and securely reattach to the tooth.
Fights infection 24/7 for 14 straight days
Even the best veterinarian can only do so much. Minocycline Nanospheres are among the most effective agents against the bacteria associated with periodontitis.
The polymer shell begins to slowly dissolve, thereby releasing minocycline at a sustained rate for at least 14 days.
Targeted Therapy vs. Oral Antibiotics
Applying medicine directly to the gums is the most effective way to treat the infection. While traditional antibiotic pills have to travel through your pet's entire body, our targeted approach goes straight to the source.
Periocin delivers a powerful, concentrated dose right where it's needed, keeping your pet safer and reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR PET'S COMFORT
The applicator ensures the precise and painless delivery of the powder medication. Its smooth, blunt tip is designed to easily slide between the tooth and gums, gently opening the pocket to place the time-released medicine exactly where your pet needs it most.
SUPPORTING YOUR VETERINARIAN'S EXPERT CARE
Periocin works a lot like the dissolvable stitches your vet uses. Our tiny microspheres safely and slowly break down in your pet's mouth, releasing a steady stream of medicine to fight off bacteria while the gums heal.
HELP YOUR PET LIVE LONGER WITH HEALTHY GUMS
Research shows a direct link between the number of teeth your pet keeps and their overall life expectancy. In fact, left untreated, severe periodontal disease can shave up to two years off a dog or cat's life.
Here are three vital ways Periocin helps protect your pet's health and longevity:
-
Stops the Spread: By fighting infection at the source, Periocin prevents harmful oral bacteria from traveling to other vital organs.
-
Restores Comfort: Relieving mouth pain and discomfort instantly improves your pet's daily quality of life.
-
Protects Their Bite: Keeping teeth and gums healthy ensures your pet can comfortably eat and chew their favorite foods.
