If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Joey freaked out the first time, but I used poultry flavored toothpaste, and since he liked the taste, it didn't go too bad, I just didn't give up. The first few times don't take too much time, do it matter-of-factly, and build up to a little longer brushing. This is the same reason you don't want to brush with Petzlife, dogs don't like the taste, so use it at another time when he won't have anything in his mouth for 30 minutes afterwards. Even when using the Petzlife, you still have to brush. The Petzlife forms a coating on the dog's teeth and helps soften the tartar, and tooth brushing scrubs it away. How would something added to the water do this? Dogs may fight you on this, but you have to be more persistent than they are, remembering that it really is for their own good. Petzlife has some fairly good documentation on their site that this does indeed help eliminate the need for a professional tooth cleaning.
