As usual, beautifully said:thumbup: Follow the directions and you should not have a problem. I know Buddy is larger than most of your pups however his teeth are really beautiful. Not one speck of anything except healthy white teeth and gums. I have been using this product for around 4yrs and he is now 5yrs old. If a product works this good, I for one, will not stop using it. He's healthy as a horse as well. |

Carol, this was one of my concerns with Yorkies, they are prone to tartar problems, and reading your success with Petzlife really eased my mine, so far so good with Joey. You want to find a product that "one" is safe, and "two" actually works. I'm concerned some people think this would be more likely to cause problems with a small dog than a larger dog. Remember, this product is given in a "dosage" form. Small dogs have smaller mouth/teeth, and less is needed. Any medicine would be unsafe for small dogs if you gave them the amount prescribed for larger dogs. The only time a smaller breed would have a problem over a larger breed is when one size fits all. For example, certain foods, say that they have indigestible parts no "bigger than a grain of rice". A yorkie with his smaller intestines would be more likely to have problems with an obstruction than a larger breed. |
Your absolutely right in what you say. I have read where some actually use it as a toothpaste, thus not following the directions at all. This, I can see, possibly causing a problem since the amount being used it wayyyyyyyyyy over the dosage. I wouldn't use it if I thought it would make Bud sick. It is more frightening to me to put him under and have them cleaned. It breaks my heart to read someone's pet never woke up. I have tried "Cool N Clear". I read where some recommed it. I bought it and believe it or not Buddy threw up the two times I used it. I waited a couple of weeks used it again and yep he threw up again. I have a full bottle if anyone is interested. All you have to do is pay the shipping. If it isn't broke don't fix it! LOL |

Thanks for the info on Petzlife. I will have to try it after the guys dental this month. They are still getting used to me poking around in their mouths. |
I know I'm a few months late on this thread, but found it by searching petzlife. I think I may be one of the ones who has been unknowingly using it wrong :eek: So, if it's not supposed to be used as a toothpast, do you apply it and then use a "toothpaste"? I'm confused. :confused: If so, which toothpaste would you recommend. Also, how much of the petzlife are you supposed to really use. I always thought a pea sized drop was correct. Thanks for helping me out on this one! :D Quote:

I put about half a pea size (for her whole mouth) on the toothbrush and just brush her teeth. I do this 2x a week... I think I need to up it because she might be a yorkie that is just prone to tartar. When it comes to toothpaste I use probably two pea size amounts. I do this every night that I don't use Petzlife. You are supposed to withhold food and water for 30 min before and after for the most effectiveness. |
petzlife I started using petzlife about 6 months ago and have noticed a difference in my dog's teeth! |
Won't Allow me to brush his teeth Twix won't allow me to brush his teeth. How do you guys do it? My husband and I have to chase him around and hold him down to brush his teeth. |
