Just spent $1000 on Roxy's dental cleaning....
I went to a Board Cert. Dental Vet. She had a cleaning and unfortunately had to have 5 teeth pulled, she had decidgerous that had to be drained as well. It has been a month and she has recovered very well....
Here is the low down on the dental products.
Petzlife's active ingredient is 40 Proof (grain alcohol). He said the company really has claims that are just too good to be true....It would be great if there was a quick fix like that, but there simply isn't.
Enzymatic tooth paste - These are not as strong has what the dog already has in its mouth, so these do not provide any 'better' than toothpaste without them.
He said there is only 1 chemical that is strong enough to fight bacteria, tartar and plaque....Of course I can not remember 'exact' - it was something like
Clorohydrogen (something along those lines). And it is very difficult to get that chemical effectively into a toothpaste. But he is working with a team of scientists and they almost have a finished product.
He said the BEST defence is Daily Brushing and the spin brushes are even better.
~ I brush Roxy's teeth after each meal (2x a day) and it could be more, if she decided to eat poop again!
