I know Buddy is larger than most of your pups however his teeth
are really beautiful. Not one speck of anything except healthy
white teeth and gums. I have been using this product for around
4yrs and he is now 5yrs old. If a product works this good, I for
one, will not stop using it. He's healthy as a horse as well. |
Carol, this was one of my concerns with Yorkies, they are prone to tartar problems, and reading your success with Petzlife really eased my mine, so far so good with Joey. You want to find a product that "one" is safe, and "two" actually works.
I'm concerned some people think this would be more likely to cause problems with a small dog than a larger dog. Remember, this product is given in a "dosage" form. Small dogs have smaller mouth/teeth, and less is needed. Any medicine would be unsafe for small dogs if you gave them the amount prescribed for larger dogs.
The only time a smaller breed would have a problem over a larger breed is when one size fits all. For example, certain foods, say that they have indigestible parts no "bigger than a grain of rice". A yorkie with his smaller intestines would be more likely to have problems with an obstruction than a larger breed.
