YT 2000 Club Member | Just Wanted To Share Some Results I don't know about any of you, but I don't like having our furkids put under for anything unless it's an absolute HAVE TO. Elijah (our 8 year old boxer boy) has never had a dental, his breath was terrible and I was desperate to find a toothpaste or some kind of product that would really work on his teeth. I found Tropiclean Fresh Breath Gel but was hesitant to buy it, wondering if it really works like it says it does. They have a water additive you can use as well, but I decided not to use it on our big dogs at first, I just wanted to try the gel and see if it really worked. On the package, it says you can just rub it on their teeth, but I decided to just put it on the toothbrush and use it. Your supposed to use it for 30 days straight and then switch to using it 2 to 3 times a week. It's been 20 days ago that I started using it, I missed using it 2 days, so I've actually only used it 18 days total, and here are the results. I just thought I'd share the results so far in case anyone has seen it and wonders if it really works.

| That is amazing. Even the inflammation is getting better. I have been reading about these gels but have been unsure of them myself. I'll have to check this one out. Gracie's teeth are still good but I want to be on top of them. |

YT 2000 Club Member | One thing I really like about Tropicleans stuff is, it's all natural. I have the water additive I use for our lil ones as well. Now I don't use the Tropiclean Gel on Mags, cause she LOVES the C.E.T Poultry flavored toothpaste and had a FIT when I tried to switch her to this, and I don't wanna ruin brushing her teeth cause she LOVES getting her teeth brushed, so, I stick to the C.E.T for Mags. And yes, the inflammation is getting lots better, his gum color looks lots better to.

YT 2000 Club Member | Thank you. I really like this stuff. I was hesitant at first, didn't wanna toss money out the window on something that may not work, but I had read so many good reviews on it, spoke to my vet about it and even called the company and talked to them about it and decided to go ahead and try it, so glad I did. The secretary at my vets office asked me about it cause she has 2 older dogs and doc won't put them under for a dental cause of their age and other health problems. She went out and got this and is using it now. And now my vet said he was going to get it and try it as well.

YT 2000 Club Member | Well lets put it this way, before using this stuff, I wouldn't let him kiss my face cause his breath was just terrible, now, now I ADORE his kisses. He kisses my whole face and I don't mind one bit, his breath smells SOOOO much better, no offensive odor at all. With Elijah, he's a pretty good listener, he knows the word "stay," so when I first started using it on him, I'd tell him to stay and he did. Now when he sees me get the toothbrush and the gel out, he comes running and I don't have to tell him to stay at all. Now with Jazzie, (she's our newest girl, we've had her a lil over 2 months now) I don't think she ever had her teeth brushed. I just have my hubby or son hold her and I do her teeth. She's pretty used to it now and doesn't fight me on it. I started out with the toothbrush on her, and I think that kinda scared here, so I stopped using the toothbrush and just put it on my finger and put it on her teeth and massaged it, then after a while, after she was used to my finger being in her mouth, I started using the toothbrush, now she excepts it. AND, now Jazzies breath smells soooo much better. When she first came to us, oh my, it was terrible!! Now, I love her kisses :-)

| Do you know if I can get this here in Canada? Also what does everyone use to brush their yorkies teeth with? I find its so difficult to brush her teeth as her mouth is so little (and so cute lol) She tolerates the brushing but I can only get a minute or two and she loses her patience. Any advice would be WONDERFUL!

| Doesn't look as if you can get it in B.C. but you may have better luck in Ontario. |
