Abstract
This study was performed to determine the effect of a drinking water additive on reducing plaque and calculus accumulation in cats. A two-period, parallel crossover design was used with each period consisting of a 56-day test phase. Results demonstrated that the addition of xylitol to the drinking water was effective in reducing plaque and calculus accumulation in cats.
