| Yes!! I just got Petzlife teeth gel and have been using it for about a week and a half. Toby's teeth already look great!! What a difference. Peanut's teeth are taking a bit longer to show a difference, but from what I read it can take a month to show a significant difference in some dogs. I use it in the morning and at bedtime. It is soo easy to use, but they do hide from me now when they see me with the bottle. LOL!!

| I would think the sooner the better just to get them used to it.

| yeah, i went and got one of those rubber toothbrush things that you put on your finger and i am just rubbing the gel onto each side of their mouth. I just did my cocker...she is easy. I could pluck ever hair out of that dogs body and she would just lay there and let me do it (not that I EVER would). she is just so passive. NOT maggie she will be the last one to get it LOL but I think with just rubbing this thing along her gums instead of using the toothbrush to brush her teeth, it might be easier. I am hoping

i like to know about a lot of different products so that if i am not happy with one, i have backup we have the CET toothpaste for our older dog but we have decided to give this petzlife stuff a try since it freshens his breath better. altho, he prefers the paste this petzlife stuff really is strong smelling!

| You apply it to their lips or gums and it mixes with their saliva and coats the teeth. It is suggested to brush after 8 days of use. You have to take away their food and water 30 minutes before and thirty minutes after application.
