What dental products do you uses? What products do you use to keep your babies teeth clean? Teddy just had his teeth cleaned today and didn’t have any pulled. :) We are lucky. Teddy is my big boy Maltese who is 8 years old. I have learned on this forum the importance of dental hygiene on these little babies. A friend of mine uses DentaTreat to brush her babies’ teeth. Does anyone use this powder? You can put it on food or brush their teeth with it. What other products do you use to keep the plaque and tar down. Thanks for your help. |
I use the Nutri-Vet Enzymatic Toothpaste on both Brody and Rhianna with a finger brush that my vet gave me. I try to brush nightly, I have no problem with Rhianna because she knows when I'm getting ready for bed that its her "tooth time" too . . .:D I do have to hunt for Brody though . he'll usually hide . . .but they both really like the taste of the Nutri-Vet. I have noticed a lot of improvement in Brody's teeth and breath. Rhianna has awesome teeth with minimal tartar buildup. Brody's are a bit different, but since I've been brushing his teeth have really improved. I wish I started it sooner. |
I got some doggie toothpaste (meat flavored, I think) from Petsmart and have been brushing 1-2x per week, along with spraying Petzlife once a week. :) |
we use a vanilla mint toothpaste for pets. Everyone likes that. Daisy likes peanut butter flavored pet toothpaste as well. |
CET Vanilla Mint toothpaste OraVet Occasionally Maxiguard |
I use PlaqueOff by proden. You just add a small amount to food once a day. It has done wonders for my dogs teeth. Over time the plaque softens and just falls off. I love this stuff!!:):aimeeyork:aimeeyork |
Teddy came home at 2:00 and boy are his teeth white. He got a sealant application put on and OraVet Plaque Prevention Gel to be put on his teeth starting in 2 weeks. Also got CET Aqua Dent for the drinking water but I understand that one of the ingredients can make dogs sick. Thanks for all the suggestions. I just want to keep Teddy and the rest of my babies from having to go through this again. |
I use these as they have chlorhexedine in them which kills bacteria so the tartar does not build up Pet Dental Care: Drs. Foster & Smith Dental Clens® Pads for Dogs |
Quote:
the chlorhexedine can make them vomit if they drink it and this has xylitol in it so i would not use this :( it is ok to wipe the chlorhexedine on teeth as i have no issues with mine but I would not let them drink it and xyitol is not good for dogs :( |
I brush my yorkies teeth everyday with dog toothpaste and then every three days I apply petzlife gel... it works amazing... they have no tartar buildup. |
|
ProDen PlaqueOff sprinkle (on food) CET chews (both kinds of dental chews - I alternate btwn bags) |

I use ClearQuest dental solution for Neo. I add one teaspoon per eight oz of water(filtered of course). The ingredients are: Purified Deionized water, Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide, Sodium Benzoate, and Organically-derived Chlorophyll. I hope it doesn't have anything iffy in it , because "Mr. Picky" seems to like it. I get chewed up whenever I brush his teeth (and have even when he was a baby!). |

WOW...you guys are great. I am upset though that the vet would give us something that could make the dogs vomit. Debbie...are you saying though that you use it to wipe their teeth with rather than drink it. I wondering if I should return it to my vet or use it to wipe the teeth. |
My veterinarian recommends Leba III, an herbal spray that prevents the build-up of plaque or tartar. One bottle lasts approximately 8 months. Leba III Dog Teeth Cleaning Spray |
i use petzlife gel, doggie toothpaste (can't remember the name of it), and CET chews. i am gonna try other products people suggest in this thread too. :D |
I brush their teeth nightly with enzyme toothpaste, and I use Petzlife gel 3X a week. Both my boys' teeth are clean and white, with minimal plaque. I have to say that the Petzlife has worked for us. :) |
what's the difference between plaque and tartar? |

The petzlife really works amazing as a preventative measure... I have been using it since my kiddos got their big kid teeth. |

It needs to be scraped off. There are claims of Petzlife taking care of that or softening it and those are peoples' personal experiences, so I won't say they are wrong. I will say I decided against the product and a very popular, board certified, small animal dentist does not like it at all. The alcohol content concers him and I don't think he's convinced that it works anyway. I have to go with his opinion because he has spent his life studying teeth and I can't say he doesn't recommend it because he wouldn't make money off of it because he could always sell it. So.... We use OraVet. |
This is a great thread and I am taking notes. I am always on the hunt for dental stuff for Sophie. |
