Product FAQs

Where are your products made?

Purrlys® Dental Probiotics are proudly made in Australia, in a fully licensed, human-grade facility that meets the highest safety and quality standards.

What if I’m not happy with the product?

We stand by our product! That’s why we offer a 90-day, 100% money-back guarantee. If you use our Premium Dental Probiotics for Cats, as prescribed, for 90 consecutive days and you’re not satisfied with the results, we’ll give you a full refund.

How does it work?

Purrlys® contains billions of beneficial bacteria that create a protective barrier over your cat’s teeth and gums. This prevents harmful bacteria from taking hold - stopping plaque, tartar, and gum disease before they can develop. Purrlys® also promotes overall gut health and well-being.

Is it safe for my cat?

Yes! Our products are developed by microbiome specialist scientists and supported by scientific research. They are crafted with human-grade ingredients in a human-grade facility. Purrlys® is safe for cats of all ages and breeds. Simply follow the feeding guide on the product label or scan the QR code for further instructions.

How long does it take to see results?

Results vary, but most cat parents notice:

✔ Fresher breath in 14 days 🦷

✔ Plaque & gum health improvements in 4–6 weeks 🐾

✔ Senior cats may take a little longer—patience is key!

💡 PRO TIP: Take a before-and-after photo to track your cat’s progress!

Will my cat’s breath still be stinky?

As harmful bacteria die off, you should notice fresher breath within 2-3 weeks. If your cat’s breath isn’t improving after one month, consult your vet—other health issues may be present.

Where can I find the ingredients?

We believe in full transparency! You’ll find a complete ingredient list:

✔ On the back of each product label

✔ In the photo slides on our product pages

How often do I give this to my cat?

For maximum protection, mix the recommended dose with wet food twice a day.
PRO TIP: If your cat usually eats wet food once a day, simply split the serve between breakfast & dinner—your cat will love the extra meal! 😻

Can I add it to dry food?

We don’t recommend it—Purrlys works best when fully consumed in wet food, as it helps to distribute the probiotics around the teeth and gums. If sprinkled on dry food, much of the product goes straight to the gut or remains in the bowl.

What if my cat doesn’t like it?

Good news—Purrlys® is odourless & tasteless! Just mix it with their favourite wet food, and they won’t even know it’s there.

💡 First-time users: It’s important to introduce Purrlys® gradually to allow your cat’s gut microbiome to adjust. If your cat still refuses it, don’t worry—you’re covered by our 90-day, 100% money-back guarantee.

Why is my cat’s poo suddenly extra smelly?

This is completely normal! As harmful bacteria die off and get expelled, some cats experience temporary changes in their poo, including:

✔ Stronger odour (don’t worry—it will settle!)

✔ Slightly looser stools (as their gut adjusts)

💡 Good news: Once adjusted, your cat’s poo will actually smell less and be a firmer consistency!

What makes Purrlys® different from other cat dental products?

Purrlys® Premium Dental Probiotics for Cats (Patent Pending AU2024903771) is a world-first approach to dental probiotics for pets.

Unlike traditional dental treats or abrasive dry food, our unique application of beneficial bacteria works at the source—creating a protective barrier on your cat’s teeth and gums to stop plaque, bad breath, and harmful bacteria before they start.

🔹 No brushing, no stress—just a simple sprinkle and mix!

🔹Research-backed probiotic strains and ingredients to support both oral & gut health.

🔹100% natural, tasteless & odourless—even the fussiest cats won’t notice!

Can I still warm up my cat’s food in the microwave?

✔ Yes, you can however the temperature must stay under 25 degrees Celsius. Always add Purrlys after warming.

PRO TIP:
Don’t overheat; the probiotic bacteria die if the food is too hot, instead try mixing a teaspoon of hot water prior to adding Purrlys

How do I store dental probiotics?

Please keep below 25 °C, out of sunlight, but do not refrigerate, as condensation can cause clumping. Do not remove the desiccant, and store in a cool, dark cupboard.

Alternatively, try our new bench top friendly, battery powered Smart Jar. It monitors the temperature and humidty of your probiotics and blocks harmful UV light.

Will I still need to visit my vet?

Yes, regular vet visits are essential to monitor your cats’ health and to keep them vaccinated. If your cat shows signs of advanced dental disease, we strongly advise a vet check-up before starting on our dental care program.

Health FAQs

Cats with medical conditions

If your cat has chronic kidney disease, thyroid disease or is receiving a therapeutic veterinary diet, consult your veterinarian before use. Purrlys should not be used with an iodine-restricted diet unless approved by the treating veterinarian.

If your vet requires a copy of the clinical test results, please email: janet@purrlys.com.au

Product Analysis

Based on the laboratory analysis results for Purrlys Premium Dental Probiotics for Cats and the current 1 g daily dose, each maximum daily dose contains less than 0.12 mg caffeine, less than 0.03 mg theobromine, less than 2 micrograms iodine and 2.16 mg phosphorus.

1g= 2 scoops per day

Iodine and hyperthyroidism

At 1 g per day, Purrlys provides less than 2 micrograms of iodine daily.

For normally fed adult cats, this is a small amount. FEDIAF’s current recommended iodine allowance for complete cat food is approximately 0.33 mg per 1,000 kcal, equivalent to around 66 micrograms in a 200 kcal daily diet. Purrlys therefore contributes less than roughly 3% of a normal adult cat’s recommended dietary amount. 1g= 2 scoops per day

Phosphorus and CKD

 Purrlys is low in phosphorus, adding only 2.16 mg of phosphorus per day at the maximum adult dose of 1g.

For context, FEDIAF’s minimum phosphorus recommendation for complete adult cat food is approximately 0.64 g per 1,000 kcal for a normally active adult cat. A cat eating 200 kcal daily would therefore receive at least approximately 128 mg of phosphorus from its complete diet. Purrlys would add about 1.7% of that amount.

If your cat has CKD, please consult your veterinarian for approval prior to starting Purrlys. 1g= 2 scoops per day

Caffeine and theobromine

At 1 g per day, the combined maximum methylxanthine exposure is:

  • Caffeine: less than 0.12 mg
  • Theobromine: less than 0.03 mg
  • Combined: less than 0.15 mg per day

For a 4 kg cat, that is less than 0.0375 mg/kg per day.

Veterinary toxicology references commonly use approximately 20 mg/kg of combined methylxanthines as the level at which mild clinical signs may begin. Purrlys' maximum exposure is more than 500 times below that conservative benchmark. (MSD Veterinary Manual)

1g= 2 scoops per day

General FAQs

Can cat dental probiotics really help with bad breath?

Purrlys® cat dental probiotics can significantly improve bad breath by addressing the root cause of halitosis, not
just masking the smell. They coat the teeth and gums with beneficial bacteria that outcompete odour-causing plaque bacteria while promoting good gut health.

How does Purrlys® support cat dental health?

Purrlys® supports cat dental health with a feline-specific dental probiotic blend that targets the cause, not just the symptoms. Our odourless and tasteless daily powder helps rebalance the oral microbiome, reduce plaque and gingivitis, soothe gum inflammation, and promote fresh breath.

Do I still need a toothbrush for my cat if I use Purrlys®?

If you already use a toothbrush for your cat, you can add Purrlys® dental probiotics to the cat-specific toothpaste. If your cat doesn’t tolerate teeth brushing, you can mix Purrlys® dental probiotics with their wet food twice a day for 24-hour oral protection.

Why does my cat’s breath smell bad?

Most likely, your cat's breath smells bad because of dental disease, where plaque and tartar buildup foster bacteria that produce smelly sulphur compounds. Sudden changes in their breath could signal an underlying
health issue, and you should book a vet check-up if it persists.

How to clean cat teeth without brushing?

To clean cat teeth without brushing, use a tasteless dental probiotic powder formulated for cats, like Purrlys®, daily to help slow plaque growth. Pair it with vet-approved dental treats, chews, or kibble, and provide a high-quality diet. Promote drinking by providing fresh water bowls and a fountain, and encourage chewing with textured toys and lick mats that stimulate saliva production.
