| Leba III Does anyone know much about this spray? I brush my girls teeth every night, but I wanted something for those "tough" spots. From what I have read, it says NOT to brush (specifically, no toothpaste) during the "treatment period," which I assume to be the entire time you are using the product. The other "catch" is no food/water 30 minutes before or after you use it. I just can't imagine not brushing their teeth at all, but it does show great results from what I can find. The official website says you can still brush with warm water, but I don't know how well that would go over since Rory LOVES having her teeth brushed, and I guarantee has to do with the flavor of the toothpaste and not the brush itself. I am a bit uncomfortable with some of the ingredients in the Petzlife spray and gel. Otherwise, I think I would just go that route. I am thinking we may try it for the 4-6 weeks (recommended time to see results) and then try to keep up with the brushing with warm water. I am so not fond of the idea of a dental and having to put them under. I know they are just testimonials, but some of the after pictures look like perfectly white sparkly teeth. My girls teeth are not bad at all, but I'm sure over time the few teeth where I see a tiny discoloration will get worse and worse. I guess if it works we'll stick with it and if it doesn't we won't. Surely in the grand scheme of things brushing with water for 4-6 weeks won't "ruin" them or at least I'm telling myself that! Any help would be much appreciated.

| Oooo, that is a big catch. I personally couldn't "not" brush Ellie's teeth for 4-6 weeks. I'd be on edge the whole time that tartar is building up and that this product doesn't really work. Maybe I'm a skeptic. I actually know zero about this product though, so now I'm just typing for the heck of it. lol

| Experiences with Leba III...anyone? I just learned of this product today during an initial visit with a new vet who believes it is THE product to use. It's pricey, but who cares if it really works. And that is what I am wondering also. You can read about it here. I have e-mailed the company and am awaiting their reply which I will share upon receipt. Would appreciate hearing from anyone regarding their experience with this product and the condition of the teeth prior and after. Thanks.

| I just saw this stuff today in an email I get from GW Little. I am wondering if anyone on here has tried it before. Zeus already has tarter even if we brush. Looking for some feedback before I make the investment. Cheaper than a dental cleaning that's for sure. |

| Hello - I'm just catching this thread. I purchased the Leba III about 4 weeks ago and so far, amazing results. Granted, Harley is only a little over a year old and her teeth weren't horrible to begin with. BUT, I've never been able to brush her teeth without great difficulty. Because of this, I was worried about her dental health and started looking for alternatives. I read many different reviews on this product before purchasing due to the cost. But like another member said, if it works, it's worth it in the long run due to the money that will be saved on dentals at your vet. I asked my vet about it and he said that if I could afford it, GREAT. Product works well and does as promised if used as recommended. He actually told me that he would advertise it in his office if the price weren't so high. I guess many people can't afford this which is understandable. Long story short - I love it, Harley doesn't mind it, and I think you should give it a try if interested. Just follow the instructions, no food or water 30 minutes before of after. I usually will wait the 30 minutes, and then give Harley a Nutri Dent chew afterwards. These are great too....I get the eucalyptus and spearmint chews and she loves them. From my understanding of the Leba III, the spray itself does not remove the tartar. It just loosens it up so that when they eat or chew on a dental bone, it chips off. Hope this helps Have a great day!

| What a coincidence I saw 2 potentially good products Leba III and Petzlife in a dog magazine today both guaranteeing their products is fool proof and cleans our bad yorkie teeth. If anyone who has tried Petzlife can comment would be great if not I think Im going to have start doing something for my benny who is almost 3 now and I have never touched this teeth yet. I've ran into ppl with yorkies who has lost all their teeth and I would be devasted if my yorkie has to resort to eating mush and liquids. |

| I am going to try the petzlife and the C.E.T. dental chews soon. The petzlife is much cheaper than the other, so fingers crossed
