| hi, i have been using petzlife gel for since i got sammy over 1 year ago. when i got him he was 14 months old and had some tartar on his back molars. what petzlife has done is keep more tartar from forming, but not removing what was there. i religiously brush sammy's teeth every night, 7 nights a week , which he lets me do and i am not that thrilled with it. does anyone know of any other stuff that will take the tartar off without me having a vet clean his teeth. i am trying to avoid this at all costs. does this cet stuff remove tartar or is it just for bad breath? thank you |

| I have used the CET chew's, they kind of look like a rawhide but they have enzym's in them for the teeth to clean them. I really like them and so do the dog's. I get them from my vet.

| I have been using the oxyfresh stuff you add to the water and its been like 2-3 months and I do see a difference in my dogs teeth. It took like a month to notice anything and it keeps the stinky breath away.

| I don't use anything in their water, but I use PetzLife (the spray and gel) and the vet said that Mojo had the best teeth she has ever seen!! (really)...I don't know if it is from using the PetzLife products all the time or what? I try to brush their teeth, but they make it a chore! My vet sells something called OraVet...that you brush on? I don't know who well that works?!

| I've used the "put in the water" stuff - didn't really see any affect on the teeth or breath I use Petzlife gel & spray. Gel is the best. Mine don't like the spray too much. I've thought about spraying it on a wet washcloth and wiping their mouths as that's what I do with the gel. It does clean off the tarter. I got this stuff from Healthy Tails Pet Supply Store which is all natural and looks like powder. It's made from cheeses, probiotics, minerals, and other natural stuff. It's called WYSONG DentaTreat. I quit using it when I got Petzlife because I didn't want to be using too many products... but the guys at Healthy Tails swear by it.

I know that someone on here mentioned once about feeding their babies cottage cheese because the natural enzymes and calcium, helped w/ their teeth....I might have to do a search to see what all was mentioned in that thread....

| Just got back from the vet with Toto and can't believe I saw this thread ... Dr. Coons and I just had a very long discussion about this! [Just had to peek in before going to the office!] When he checked Toto's teeth he said that they are in remarkable condition for her age and size ... he was really nice and didn't add "and as pampered as she is!" Anyway, I asked him about the stuff that you put in their water ... he said that he doesn't find that it does any good. I asked him about the PetzLife ... he said that the gel might make a little difference, but it's due to the brushing. I said, you know I'm looking for a "magic bullet" here? He said that chewing items like the little rope dental toys or the C.E.T. chews and giving a litte hard kibble do as much good as anything else. He wouldn't recommend the C.E.T. chews if they gobble them up but since Toto is a little "nibbler" to give her a half daily. They are slower to digest is the reason he wouldn't recommend them to those who gobble them up. He also said that Toto will be fine for at least another year! Haven't had time to read all your posts but will later.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Yup we want to know too what you use and where you get it? My problem with Izzy is that she has a tiny, tiny mouth and I can't get in her mouth even with the tiny toothbrush. I was thinking of getting those little finger covers..has anyone tried those? She likes the taste of the CET toothpaste but won't help me if I can't get into her tiny mouth.
