SCALE LITE tartar removers were designed specifically with the canine and feline in mind. Unlike "human" dental instruments, the SCALE LITE unique design allows the user to remove more tartar and stains in less time. The angles and sizes of the SCALE LITE tartar removers are the differences providing greater accessibility and ease of use. It is a known fact that animals can suffer from the same illnesses as humans when proper dental hygiene is not practiced As a result, Frank Trelut (founder of Scale Lite Manufacturing) set out to design dental instruments for veterinary use. Dr. Patricia Frost, Diplomat, AVDC U.C. Davis, currently consulting in Battle Ground Washington was very instrumental in assisting Frank with the design and her help is greatly appreciated!
