Yes, it's a germ killer, but when we swish around listerine in our human mouths, we don't swallow it like these dogs do. Plus, it's not just a little bit every once in awhile...It should be used consistently for maintenance, so they're getting a little bit of alcohol *every* single day, if used appropriately. |
While I agree with you, if your dog has liver problems you need to be extremely cautious in any medications you use, however, I do believe anesthesia would be very difficult as well. You are incorrect about its application though; daily use is only necessary if you dog already has tartar buildup. Then it' is recommended that for the first month you use it daily or until the gum line is free from tartar, after that 2-3 times a week is all that's necessary. If it's for a preventive program 2 times a week is enough. I started using the product because I heard about it on Yorkietalk, I am so glad I found it, and our last check-up, the vet made a big deal about how great Joey's teeth looked, and how this is unusual in Yorkies. I just hate to see people stop using it because of unfounded worries about its alcohol content. The website has more details.
