Why we started Longer Together
A dentist who could not find anything good enough for her own dog. A rescuer who has seen what neglected teeth cost dogs that deserved better. One shared promise: more good years, longer together.
"I'm a dentist, and even I don't brush my dog's teeth."
Dr. Michelle Jorgensen has spent her career helping people keep their teeth healthy. She built a human dental care line trusted by hundreds of thousands of customers, all on one idea: a healthy mouth is not about attacking bacteria. It is about feeding the good ones so they can do their job.
Then she looked at her own dog.
Brushing a dog's teeth every day is a wrestling match most of us lose. Michelle lost it too. And when she went looking for something better, everything she found either scrubbed at the problem or just covered up the smell.
So she did what she had already done for people. She took Protektin, the prebiotic technology behind her human dental line, and built it into something a dog would actually beg for. A prebiotic does not add new bacteria and it does not scrub. It feeds the helpful bacteria already living in your dog's mouth so they can crowd out the troublemakers.
The result is Daily Dental Defense. One scoop on the food, once a day. The beef liver is the tasty part. Protektin is the working part inside it.
"You're not attacking the garden. You're tending it."
Molly, and the rescue behind the brand
Co-founder Molly Pittman runs Fields of Freedom Dog Rescue in Danville, Kentucky, a 501(c)(3) rescue that pulls dogs from high-kill shelters, heals them, and finds them homes. The seniors. The bonded pairs. The overlooked ones.
Ask anyone who works in rescue and they will tell you what Molly sees over and over: dogs surrendered with mouths in terrible shape. Not because their owners did not love them. Because nobody taught them how easy daily dental care could be.
That is the gap Longer Together exists to close. Not with guilt. With one scoop a day.
"A dog is never just a dog. They are companions, healers, family."Molly
