No don't use the Petzife as toothpaste, you would be using too much if you used it this way. The way it works is the Petzlife is said to soften the tartar and then regular tooth brushing, scrapes it off. If your dog doesn't have tartar, it prevents it from forming. The spray and the gel are the same product, some find one or the other, easier to apply. You don't need to use a lot of the product and twice a week is enough if your dog doesn't have a tartar problem. While you don't want to give your dog a shot of whiskey, reports of Petzlife being bad on account of the alcohol are highly exaggerated, in my opinion. Alcohol is a very effective germ killer, and if this product reduces the need for your dog to get a professional teeth cleaning, I'm all for it. During a professional cleaning anesthesia is used, and we all know the risks associated with that. I use poultry flavored dog toothpaste, and the fingertip brushes. Don't use human toothpaste the sweeteners in human toothpaste can be deadly to dogs.
