I have been using petzlife on Buddy for several years now and it does wonder's for the teeth. I use the spay, however, I have read some small
pups are frightened of the spitz noise it makes. If you start when they
are small they get use to it. Some prefer the gel. Both get used the same way. It get's used before bedtime, no food or water after it is applied.
If you have a puppy I would use it once a week to prevent tartar and
brush daily if possible. I have always used four paws original toothpaste
and brush at least 4 times a wk and use the petzlife once a week.
One good spritz on each side of the mouth preferably towards the back
of the mouth where the molars are. The siliva in the mouth spreads it
throughout.
If you have an older dog and the teeth are very discolored I would use
2-3 times weekly until you see the tartar coming off then go to once
a week as maintenace brushing daily. It really does work.
The directions are very easy to read and are in the box. It is worth every
penny. Buddy is 6 now and has no tartar on his teeth at all.
