I use like a pea size about and I put it on every 3 days, however, this is for maintenance... I believe the bottle says you should use it every day for the first 30 days if you are trying to get tartar off that has already built up.

I use it too, and so far so good. I like the spray better, but most people seem to prefer the gel. The spray just goes on so easily. You have to use it several times a day to remove tartar, I think I would try it for a month and see what the vet says. Remember, you don't want to brush with it you, put it on the teeth 30 minutes after a meal, and don't let them eat or drink anything for 30 minutes. I also brush, and use bully sticks, and I think they help scrape off the softened tartar.

I have bad news for you; the Petzlife just softens tartar you still have to brush it away. I found a toothpaste Joey likes, and a small electric toothbrush that he'll let me use. If you are just softening the tartar, but never scraping it away, it will just harden again, and eventually it gets under the gum line and you have to use the vet for a professional cleaning.

Thanks for telling me about them selling it at Petsmart, I had to order mine online last time. Also don't overlook Bully Sticks for helping to scrape that tartar away.

I use the Merrick brand I order them off of Ebay, they're more expensive than some, but very hard, and it takes Joey a whole week to go through one. I think the softer ones don't do as much scraping, but are more of a chewing treat. The hard ones are a lot like a bone, but they are safer than bones.
