Yes!! I just got Petzlife teeth gel and have been using it for about a week and a half. Toby's teeth already look great!! What a difference.

Peanut's teeth are taking a bit longer to show a difference, but from what I read it can take a month to show a significant difference in some dogs. I use it in the morning and at bedtime. It is soo easy to use, but they do hide from me now when they see me with the bottle. LOL!!

I would think the sooner the better just to get them used to it.

ROLF!!!

Toby scares me too!!! I am afraid I will lose a finger which is why I opted for Petzlife since brushing is not required. Even without brushing his teeth look like I had them cleaned professionally.

So with the Gel , how do you give it to them? I have the gel and I just can't master the whole bruching thing...it just isn't working at all!

yeah, i went and got one of those rubber toothbrush things that you put on your finger and i am just rubbing the gel onto each side of their mouth. I just did my cocker...she is easy. I could pluck ever hair out of that dogs body and she would just lay there and let me do it (not that I EVER would). she is just so passive. NOT maggie

she will be the last one to get it LOL but I think with just rubbing this thing along her gums instead of using the toothbrush to brush her teeth, it might be easier. I am hoping

i'm not sure about that particular product but i am sure brushing their teeth in some fashion is good, as long as it is done. I chose this gel because 1. you do not have to scrub their teeth, 2. it instantly helps their breath, and 3. it is all natural. i didn't want to give my baby chemicals. don't get me wrong, i have no idea what you bought so I am not judging it in any way, it is probably ok. like I said, brushing is good...even if you are only brushinbg and not using toothpaste..i imagine it is better than nothing. so give it a shot and see how it works for you and your baby.

i like to know about a lot of different products so that if i am not happy with one, i have backup

we have the CET toothpaste for our older dog but we have decided to give this petzlife stuff a try since it freshens his breath better. altho, he prefers the paste

this petzlife stuff really is strong smelling!

You apply it to their lips or gums and it mixes with their saliva and coats the teeth. It is suggested to brush after 8 days of use. You have to take away their food and water 30 minutes before and thirty minutes after application.
