Also, THANK YOU for mentioning the part about Sissy and the poss. pancreatitis, since that's our biggest concern...Max DID have it once and I think that's part of the reason my dh is so concerned about a "spray" that will dissolve tartar....I can use your post as a backup if I need to and it's well-grounded, so I really really appreciate it! |
I use the gauze dry, nothing on it. Even on the days I use the PetzLife, that gets rubbed on the teeth after I "brush" with the gauze. I buy the gauze in rolls, then just cut what I need (hope that answers your question). There is a particular type I like best I get at Target, but I think it is just a generic. The gauze is about 4.5" wide and is the type that would get wrapped around a square gauze pad to secure it in place.
My concern with the PetzLife was with the grain alcohol. I was told it is minute in quantity and assits the breaking up of the tartar. The vets confirmed they have done many studies on the formula and have never had a pet of any size or type become ill from daily use. The amount used is about pea size. Daily use is only in the beginning for no more than 90 days, then maintenance use of 2-3 times per week.
