Do CET chews really help? Thinking about getting some. I confess I am not good at brushing Uni's teeth. Not even that good about using the Petzlife spray. :blush: Also C&S still have bad breath, even though they just got dentals. The vet said sometimes it's a digestive issue and that even with brushing their breath can smell. What should I do? |
I haven't used them yet, but my vet did recommend them just the other day for Princess. I'd like to look into them further as well, but I really trust her. Of course she did say brushing is the best & an additive can help, too, but the CET's can supplement that as well or help if we start lagging (as I have in the past).;) |
I have noticed that CET toothpaste was the best I've tried, so I hope their other products do well also. I'm waiting for more replies. I got the stuff in my entirely pets checkout cart, waiting to pull the trigger, so to speak :) |
I use the CET Chews, I buy the medium size ones, that way they can't choke on them. I buy the CET HEXtra Premium Chews with Chlorhexidene. I think they help. |
I can't say if they are helping yet or not. Jackson's dental was over a month ago, I think, now, so his teeth are still shiny white and breath still perfect - I've also been brushing nearly every night (it's usually done at least 5 or 6 nights a week since the dental) but we've been giving CET chews in conjunction with the occasional Petzlife gel (I usually use this when I am dogsitting or at someones house, in replacement of brushing for the night). I also invested in Healthy Mouth and CET toothpaste, LOL - I went a little teeth crazy and vowed to keep them healthy and white for as long as possible!!! |
I think they do. They really help with any breath odor and I think its really helping with the tartar. |
My boys get one every night prior to going to sleep. They love them and just think they are treats. They are only 8 mo but have pearly whjtes with fresh breath! |
It's funny that you asked this. I just picked some up for Gizmo last night. He seems to like them and they don't seem to upset his tummy!!:thumbup::thumbup: I brush his teeth everyday, but I still want to give him the chews as well. Just to be safe!:p Hopefully they are as good as everyone says. |
Dumb question coming up - I thought rawhide was a no-no? Also, I remember that Anne's pup Marcel choked and almost died on a CET chew a while ago. Do you think they are safe overall? I only give Rocco bullysticks and himalayan chews. |

Yes, it was a CET. She upped the size (started giving mediums). Not sure if she gives them anymore or not. I think they are probably good for the toofers. Some or all CET chews are a type of rawhide, I think. I've heard a bit about pups eating them rather quickly. I wouldn't be comfortable with my pups eating this type of material quickly/ingesting much of it at a time. It may be a great product, but we pass on it. |
They are rawhides? :eek:!!! |
Why exactly are rawhides a definite no? I mean I read that when I first came to YT, but sometimes I wonder if we are just repeating each other without understanding why. I understand that they could get an intestinal obstruction, but that’s unlikely if you are using a small one. My foster has been eating rawhides under supervision for several years before I got him. He doesn't like bullysticks and I hold the rawhide for him, so I know there is no danger of choking. We throw them out when they are 2 inches so I know he can’t grab it from me. They are the skinny sticks, so he can't get too much at one time. His owner wants me to continue giving these to him and she's very leery of dentals because his throat was damaged during the last one. I mean millions and millions of dogs eat rawhides, I wonder if the danger hasn't been exaggerated? |
I found this on a site about them: "C.E.T. Chews For Dogs Md 30 Ct. Treated with the C.E.T. Dual-Enzyme System which enhances and augments a naturally-occurring oral defense mechanism, the Salivary Peroxidase System. The enzymes combine with their substrates to produce hypothiocyanite ions, which fight plaque-forming bacteria and their harmful by-products. Although the size and shape of C.E.T. Chews make them safer than other forms of beefhide (rawhide), some dogs may not chew the strips adequately before attempting to swallow them. Closely observe your dog during initial feedings. If your dog has any difficulty consuming this product or any rawhide product, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian. 30 beefhide strips that average 2 x 3 inches." |
