I didn't know about the fractures!! EEK!:eek: I was taking 2 of mine for the non anesthesia method and then I couldn't make if for one month and I saw how fast the plaque came back because it is sitting right under the gum!! They aren't scraping under the gum like they do when you go to the dentist. So now I have an appointment for one of them at the dentist, I am going to have them look at his jaw and I hope they won't see any fractures!! I hope your baby is doing OK now and don't beat yourself up, you were just trying to do the best for her!!

I tried Pro Den Plaque Off a few years ago. After awhile, I think Sasha could tell there was something being put on her food and she started not wanting to eat. Eventually she would, but it's almost like she could tell there was something on her food that she didn't like and she just wasn't eating her food like she normally would. I continued to use it for a few months, but honestly I didn't really notice any difference. I do a lot more things now to try to keep her teeth clean and breath smelling nice so maybe now I would notice a difference? I really don't know. I use a few different types of dental treats, brushing every couple of days and also using the Petzlife gel. I'm thinking about trying a Himalayan chew to since she loves chewing on bones.

Wow, thanks for sharing this. So sorry this happened to your kiddo :(! It's a really good reminder about the stressful/painful experience that can happen w/ non-anesth dentals.

^ This would probably be Jackson, lol. If he sniffs something wrong and he doesn't like.... he won't eat it.

I might just keep up with the Petzlife and start using it every day to get rid of the bit of tarter on his canine teeth. All his back teeth are PERFECT, it's just those front ones, and even that is just a tiny bit. So I have a feeling if I used Petzlife every single day with him, it could get rid of it.

Aww, poor thing. :( You'll know for next time though.

If it sounds too good to be true (no anesthesia), it probably is. Most vets do use anesthesia because they have no choice. They definitely would prefer not to.

And if this was a place without a vet on staff (most of these clinics are), then they are practicing veterinary medicine without a license which is against the law. Not sure how come these places aren't being shut down.




Not all discoloration is tartar and so some of it may not come off. Ellie does have a little bit of tartar, but the darker color on the top of her canines is more of an enamel issue. We have gone 3 years with no dental on a pup who had stage 4 (worst case) periodontal disease. :)

It is put in their water and retards plaque and makes the plaque that is there softer. I also use the CET chews but may try some of the Himalayan treats. All my dogs hated the Petzlife taste and would run from me if I tried to put it in their mouth.
I use the healthy mouth too and the CET toothpaste and chews. Buster loves the toothpaste. I think I brush his tongue more that his teeth because he loves the chicken flavored toothpaste so much. I really like the ingredients in the healthy mouth, I have another water additive for plaque but it is more chemicals than natural.

Here in the info about HealthyMouth https://www.healthymouth.com/index.p...ogs&atype=dogs and it is even accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is thier link for recommended products Veterinary Oral Health Council

I have been using petzlife jell for a couple of years now. I think it works well. I found the best price at petedge.com I buy 2 big 12 oz. bottles at a time. I pay 82.92 shipping included in this price.

Just an update --

I went ahead and bought some of this. I've been sprinkling it on his food for about 2 weeks now. I just checked his teeth out and can definitely tell a difference!

He had yellowing on his canine teeth (all four, actually) and I just checked and there is, like, nearly nothing there. I wish I would have taken a before picture. I have only brushed once in the past 2 weeks so I know it's gotta be this stuff. :thumbup:

I have been very pleased with the Plaqueoff so far. Mine hate brushing as well so with this I don't have to as often.

Brit, do you have another update on this for us? Are you still liking it? Jackson tolerates it on his food ok?

Britster 06-22-2011 05:23 AM
Yep, still using this. Mostly every day, sometimes I skip and forget, lol. But he is still not minding it on his food at all, and his teeth look great to me. I wish I would have taken a before picture but I'll try to get a current pic of his teeth. I'm really happy with this! We do use Petzlife as well but not as often... maybe once every 2 weeks.

Yay! Thanks for the update. :)

Britster 08-26-2011 12:05 PM
Yup -- still doing good! :)

I plan on getting him a dental anyways later this year just for precautious measures and he'll be 3 in October. He's still just got some staining on his canine teeth but other than that, his teeth are pretty white. Oh and I see a bit of plaque build-up on his bottom row of teeth on the backs of them (but very minimal).

But I do think the PlaqueOff works really well... his breath never stinks. I stopped using it for about 4 weeks when we were dealing w/ his stomach problems just because I didn't know what I could use,etc, and I noticed his breath had a bit more of a smell to it... but now that we're back on our routine of Petzlife, brushing and Plaqueoff, no more smelly breath!!! :) The smell was VERY minimal tho, just if I had my face up in his, it was something I noticed!
