I love the product, and tasted it and I don't think it has as much alcohol in it as people think.
Yorkies are known for having problems with tartar, which leads to gum disease, tooth loss, bone loss, and can even lead to many organ related problems, including the heart. Unfortunately, some dog owners are using Petzlife as a toothpaste, causing them to use too much of the product. It's not a toothpaste but a tartar-softening product. No food or water is given ½ hour before and after an application of Petzlife. Just a very small amount is needed to coat teeth, and this is said to soften tartar, allowing you to brush it away at a later time. As a preventative, it only needs to be used 2-3 times a week, if you are using it to get rid of tartar, it needs to be used daily. Joey's been using it for 1½ years and his teeth are in great shape, no sign of any tartar.
