Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Virbac AH, Inc. is recalling approximately 88,366 units of C.E.T. Home Dental Care Oral Hygiene Gel for Dogs and Cats because the product is subpotent. This means the active ingredient, chlorhexidine gluconate, is present at levels lower than what is listed on the label (0.12%), which may reduce the effectiveness of the dental treatment. The recall affects 1.4 fl. oz. (32 mL) tubes of the dental gel distributed across 30 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

Risk

The subpotency of the active ingredient may result in the product being less effective at maintaining oral hygiene in pets than intended. While the risk is considered low, the product does not meet the specified strength standards required for dental care.

  1. Identify the product by checking the packaging for 'C.E.T. Home Dental Care Oral Hygiene Gel for Dogs and Cats' in 1.4 fl. oz. (32 mL) tubes with NDC 051311-502-32.
  2. Check the product label for the recall number V-164-4 and confirm if your gel contains 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate.
  3. Consult with your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance regarding the use of this subpotent product and to discuss alternative dental care options for your pet.
  4. Return any unused tubes of the hygiene gel to the place of purchase for a refund.
