Toothpaste is effective b/c of enzymes. Sprays + Gels are also known to be for the same reason, yet I haven't seen any proof from them.

You may be able to skip dentals if you stay on top of their teeth. I'd love to get my yorkie used to your cleaning machine so you could do a dental without sedation.

I guess my question would be, how different is dog tartar than human tartar. If there was a product that softened or removed human tartar it would be the next huge thing and there would be no need for dental cleanings. Truth is, nothing removes human tartar except mechanical scraping. So unless dog tartar is not calcified plaque(which is all human tartar is) I don't see how any of these products do anything but waste peoples money. If they at least had some level of fluoride safe for dog consumption of course then I could see some benefit. Think I will look that up.
