Developed by microbiologist Dr. Emily Stein, TEEF for Life offers a revolutionary, science-backed approach to pet dental health. Traditional dental products rely on harsh chemicals or abrasive scraping that only address symptoms. TEEF’s patented Protektin line works at the microbial level to treat oral dysbiosis—the true root cause of gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay.
By simply adding this flavorless, 100% human-grade prebiotic powder to your pet’s daily drinking water, bad bacteria are repurposed to mine existing tartar and build healthy biofilm. It is an effortless, stress-free daily dental routine that delivers fresh breath and long-term systemic wellness.
Microbiome-Based Prebiotics
Patented Protektin technology stops destructive bacteria from feeding on sugars and converts them to break down protein and tartar.
Targets Root Cause & Tartar
Prevents gum disease dysbiosis while safely enabling bacteria to mine away existing plaque and tartar like a microscopic toothbrush.
Effortless Water Additive
Dissolves seamlessly in daily drinking water with zero flavor or odor — 100% human-grade, safe, and impossible to overdose.

TEEF for Life FAQ
What are the dosing instructions? +
Just add one scoop (1/32 tsp) into your pet’s water dish (up to 64 oz or 1/2 gallon of water) per day. If they go through multiple bowls of water, feel free to top it off before all the water is gone. A little goes a long way, and as long as there is Protektin in their bowl, the formula will work!
Multiple Pet Home? Fill a 1/2 gallon (1 scoop) or gallon (2 scoops) pitcher with water and keep it in the refrigerator to top off water dishes throughout the day.
You can adjust your dosage as you go; TEEF is so safe that you cannot overdose your pet. Use daily for best results. Note: When introducing anything new, start with 1/2 scoop for the first few days so your pet can adjust.
My pet doesn't drink much water, can I add it to food? +
While adding to drinking water is preferred, you can also add it to food, a lick pad, a water bottle, treats, or anything your pet puts in their mouth. The key to success is frequent dosing throughout the day, so feel free to try different methods to ensure the ingredients coat the mouth often and consistently improve the oral microbiome.
Does it just keep tartar from forming or get rid of existing tartar? +
We discovered a tartar-removal effect in our studies: when we block gum disease-associated bacteria (like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus) from eating sugars and carbs, they begin to mine plaque and tartar on teeth for preferred nutrients—functioning literally like a microbial toothbrush! While we focus primarily on stopping oral dysbiosis (the root cause of dental disease), case studies show a significant reduction in existing tartar as well.
How does TEEF work and what are its active ingredients? +
Our patented Protektin line packs a multi-action punch to oral bacteria, shifting the microbiome to promote stronger teeth, healthier gums, and significantly fresher breath:
- Soluble Fiber: Blocks bacterial sugar-to-acid and sugar-to-plaque production, stopping destructive by-products.
- Amino Acid: Activates protein breakdown by bacteria and neutralizes acids harmful to teeth and gums.
- Vitamin: Essential for bacterial enzymes that break down protein, switching bacteria from eating sugars to eating proteins instead.
- Sodium Bicarbonate (P42 Dog Formula): Neutralizes existing mouth acid (<3% daily value) for pH control of biofilm development and remineralization.
- Cracked Cell Wall Chlorella (P30 Cat Formula): Functions as a microbial sponge to absorb fungal toxins that cause stomatitis and fungal issues in cats.
