Mentha piperita

Peppermint

Fresh breath support

Mint (Mentha piperita) is a well-known aromatic herb valued for its refreshing properties. It contains natural compounds such as menthol, which contribute to its characteristic cooling sensation and fresh taste.

In dental products, mint is commonly used to help freshen breath by masking and neutralizing odor-causing compounds in the mouth. This supports a cleaner, fresher oral environment.

In addition to its sensory benefits, mint is often included in oral care formulations to enhance palatability and encourage regular chewing, which plays an important role in maintaining oral hygiene in dogs (Verhelst, 2025).
