PetzLife...Hype or Real Thing? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jp4m2 · 02-04-2008, 06:54 PM

I was wondering if this product is as good as the testimonials on their site says....Has any one here actually seen an improvement?...I've gone through onr bottle of each but I must admit I didn't use it consistently and I did not see any results....I just reordered a new bottle to give it a real try...I hope it works....

I only use it once a week.. But I'd say yes.. it really does work.. I brush Kayah's teeth regularly.. but she won't really let be get far back.. so this spray has really helped..

I still have to take to to get her teeth clean but am scared as they have to put her under

It has worked for lots of people here.

I would have to say that it is best to brush anyway though and since I'm already brushing I use toothpaste. CET is a great brand and I think it is best for Ellie to actually brush.

i don't use it often.. but if i've forgtoten about Layla's teeth (hey.. it happens) and they get yellow on the back. i'll use it.. but otherwise we just brush

i bought it because when we went to NY last summer for a week and left layla with her sitter, her teeth didn't get brushed and theyw ere a mess when i got back.. so i needed something a little more powerful than just toothpaste

I say hype and certainly not worth the price. Consistant brushing is the important thing whatever you use. I bought it and used only that on 2 of mine and regular brushing on the rest. I can see no difference. The more often you brush the better.

I'm still up in the air with this....I'm waiting for my order to come, but I did run across a site talking about the use of Petzlife and it said to use it for 8 days and then wrap gauze around your finger then rub gently but very throughly on their teeth with it and you should see the tarter flaking off onto the gauze....hhmmmm....we'll see......I assume they where talking about the spray..

I just had Pixie in for her Rabies shot and I have been using the Petlife but not faithfully and the vet said I needed to brush her teeth better especially on one side so you still need to brush

dianaww · 03-01-2008, 06:16 PM

I've just ordered the spray and the gel, and will spray in the morning, and brush in the evening so I make sure I brush not just spray I am sure there is nothing better than brushing.

That said what size/type of brush do you all use, some dog brushes wouldn't fit into our babies mouth ..... ?

Erin · 03-01-2008, 06:29 PM

I brush and I can say that the Petzlife does make their breath smell better than that nasty petrodex poultry flavored crap. If nothing else it's all natural toothpaste and better than anything you can buy at Petsmart. It is expensive but it lasts forever. Brushing is what really works, but I do like that minty breath!

I have to give YorkieCrazy the credit for this one. While she took care of Gizmo for us, she used a cat toothbrush and sent it home with him. It's the perfect size for his mouth at least.

That's a GREAT idea thank you, I did read someone used a childs brush but I think a cat brush may even be better.

petrodex poultry YUK ! I have used that and I know what you mean.

Minty breath is a lot better.

Thats what I do!

i brush sammy's teeth every night with petzlife before we go to bed. i use a finger brush and go all the way to his molars. i can say his teeth did not get worse , but a few molars are a little yellowish. i am going to switch to cet toothpaste, which i think is more abrasive and maybe a cat toothbrush.
he lets me do it and he knows when his teeth are going to get done. he lays on his back and i brush away !
better than the vet putting him under
