Separate the layers
What the studies say—and what they do not
15 client-owned cats
One tested daily dental hygiene chew was associated with less plaque and calculus than dry diet alone. Professional therapy was still indicated.
Four-week crossover
A different tested dental chew reduced plaque, calculus and gingivitis versus dry diet alone during the test phase.
The non-transfer line
Neither paper tested Maostix or isolated firmness as the cause. They do not validate its formulation, hardness, dimensions, tooth contact, dose, plaque effect, breath effect or gingivitis effect.
What can be shown now
Demonstrate the interaction. Do not narrate an outcome.
Owners can observe approach, mouth contact, chewing and return behavior. The current storefront identifies six sticks per pack; composition and product-specific efficacy remain separate verification tasks.
Research rule: name the tested product category and study design, link the paper, and state explicitly that Maostix was not tested. A future Maostix claim requires the exact finished product, dose and outcome to be studied.
Observe the interaction yourself
Current localized product and offer details appear on the Maostix PDP.
