I'd rather pay the price for something that works, than pay a lower price for something that doesn't do the job!! My oldest female, Ginger has been on it from the time I got her. (almost 8 years ago.) She's only had to have one tooth pulled, which is good for yorkies. They are known to have bad teeth. Whatever you use, use it diligently. Bad teeth are not fun. For dog or owner.

sounds good to me ... and yes, I would rather pay $$$ for a proven product than for one that is not. http://www.suziestartarliquid.com/
I just had Monday's teeth professionally cleaned and the vet did not think Petzlife was the thing to use ... (and that was $39)

I was not happy with Petzlife anyway. Each dog is different, but my dogs refused to open their mouths.
This Suzie's Tartar Liquid Tartar Removal sounds good.
Thanks

Is this okay? You are supposed to put one teaspoon per quart in the drinking water or mist undiluted directly into the mouth twice a day.

I shall look into this one (OXYFRESH) also. I appreciate all the suggestions.

She mentioned something that you put in the water. They sold a bunch of the stuff and then realized that it had one of the artificial sweeteners that are poisonous to dogs. They contacted the manufacturer of the product and they said that they would NOT do a product recall. Dr. Amy said that they called all of the patients that had bought the product -- told them to stop using it immediately and that the Clinic would buy back any unused portion that they had.

Please read the label and make sure that there is nothing harmful.... "First do no harm". I was so disappointed

I shall read the labels and be very careful. I know Xyitol <sp> is not good for the dogs at all.
