Lactoferrin
Lactoferrin seems to have immune modulating and antibacterial properties.
Lactoferrin binds iron necessary for bacterial growth. It is effective
in controlling feline stomatitis1. Lactoferrin is a whey protein
usually derived from dairy milk, and is typically dosed at 50 mg/kg, or
simply powdered on foods.
Dog, Ferret and Cat Dosage/Usage:
Lactoferrins can be used for gingivitis, stomatitis, and as a part of a routine tooth brushing routine. You can make a toothpaste by adding water or Aloe Vera to a small amount of lactoferrin and applying with finger and cheese cloth or by using a toothbrush.
