I think Petzlife is much safer than anesthesia, how many dogs have died going under anesthesia, and how many dogs have ever even gotten sick from Petzlife? You don't use a lot, and reports of it being unsafe are highly exaggerated in my opinion. At his last vet check, the vet said, I don't know what you are doing, but keep doing it, his teeth are in great condition. Remember the Petzlife "softens" tartar, and you need to brush it away. I also use Bully sticks because I think the chewing action "scapes" the teeth. Tartar is a serious problem and yorkies are prone to it, I don't think losing teeth should be seen as a "normal" thing, and I want to do everything I can to prevent this. |
have there been alot of dogs dying under anesthesia when anesthesia is done properly and honestly i would only have a board certified dentist do a dental for mine as that is all they do all day long and i feel is the safest way. I used petzlife for a year exactly the way it was designed per instructions and she still had gum disease from not having a proper dental. I think where dogs die under anesthesia is when the vets do not use the iv fluids and catheterization, isoflurine or sevoflurine, and propofol and take short cuts and that is what i have read as a maltese on my group died because vet did not do this and she warned us all about it also not getting blood work and urinalysis prior to anesthesia. There is definitely a risk to anesthesia but having a dog loose 27 teeth due to my fear of it has definitely changed my tune and had i not done this dental she could have lost more bone and fractured her jaw on a piece of kibble and then it would have been a bigger mess and her blood work was showing signs of kidney issues so i do not want someone to think petzlife is going to cure that situation and once the teeth are loose you are beyond any home care trust me and what you feel is loose there are many more in danger than what you see on surface. I went to bc dentist who tries to save teeth and he removed 27 - vets do not even try to save teeth so that is how bad it was and i have to live with that decision to not do dentals sooner and thinking the petzlife would have reversed all tartar and she did not need a dental - that is one me but i have to share this even though it is embarrassing to me as i am a smart person but this was very stupid of me - I should have done the dental when she was 3 like vet said but no i bought petzlife gel and thought that would cure her problem. If it works for you preventatively that is great but if your dog has alot of tartar, inflamed gums get a dental to get a fresh clean start. And if any loose teeth get in immediately as it is only going to get worse not better as one infected tooth can cause the disease to spread fast. Within 2 weeks demi went from 4 loose teeth to 10 that i felt
