Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste Dog Poultry Flavor

I may have already reviewed this but I wanted to add something. Brought my 7lb. 7 1/2 yr. old Chihuahua to the Vet yesterday for his checkup,tests,and shots. During his exam the Vet that I've been using for all my dogs since I moved here in 1993 complimented my dogs teeth. She said "what do you do to keep his teeth so nice. He should be a poster dog for canine dental hygiene". I told her that I use Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste every morning applying it with a small piece of damp gauze bandage. I put a dot or 2 on it and use my index finger to get all around his tiny little teeth. I tried brushes and those things you put on the tip of your finger, what a joke they are when you are cleaning a small dogs mouth. I think even with a larger dog you have more control using the gauze and are less likely to frighten your dog. Anyway, it made me feel real good knowing that the little time I spend every morning is noticed by a pro. I'm sure most of you know how important it is to keep your pets teeth clean as many health related issues can occur if you don't. Look and see for yourself how important it is. After we left the exam room and I was about to pay the bill she told the 3 staff members that were present "you should see Buddy's teeth, there is no tarter what so ever " and at that moment Buddy seemed to sense what she was saying and gave a big smile showing off his little pearly whites. Everyone cracked up and one said " look at him smile, he knows what we are saying." Message to all PLEASE spend a minute or so to tend to your pets teeth. You will help keep your friend healthy, save money in the long run, and when your loved one showers you with kisses you won't have to hold your breath.

I have a five year old dog who has good teeth, but he has some tartar build up from over the years. I give him greenies daily and lots of chews to keep his teeth healthy and clean. When I first got him, I brushed his teeth occasionally, but eventually stopped. Sometimes I hardly have the energy to brush my own teeth everyday, let alone my dog's, so can you blame me for stopping? After a couple years of no brushing, I decided to get back on the good dog dental hygiene train and ordered another tube of Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste. Now with just a short period of semi-regular usage, my dog's teeth look amazing! I got him when he was one and his teeth look better now at five then they did when I first got him.I've been using Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste a few times a week for the last month. The toothpaste softened and loosened the tartar that was on his back teeth, and I was able to use a tooth scaler to scrap off the tarter. The tartar came off easily in chunks. I wish I took before and after pictures because the results were fantastic. Granted my dog's teeth were not in horrible condition, so don't expect this product to work miracles, but the layer of tartar by his gums on his back teeth are completely gone. I was even able to remove the dark lines on his back teeth by his gums that I thought were his teeth going bad, but it was just deep-set tarter buildup that had darkened.I've included a picture showing my dog's teeth. I'm no dog dental expert, but his teeth look pretty good (for five years old!) if I do say so myself! All the results mentioned above were achieved with only one month of using the toothpaste, so I have no doubt that his teeth will in even better condition with a little more brushing. My dog also loves the taste of the toothpaste, which makes brushing his teeth a breeze. I highly recommend using Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste with a tooth scaler for optimal results. If you do decide to use a scaler, be careful so you don't hurt your dog's gums and do not press too hard as you may damage the enamel on the teeth. Press down gently, but firmly with the scaler against the tartar. Make sure to brush the teeth again after using the scaler as a final polish.

My little rescue loves it. So much that he tries to eat the brush. Here he is, just for your enjoyment!

My dog's favorite toothpaste! Every night he comes upstairs to "have his teeth brushed" and won't go to bed until this demand is met. He only likes this brand. Funny boy!

This and a Disney Kids Princess toothbrush. Brush once daily and spare your canine companion pain and health issues from painful infected teeth. I got my last bottle in January, so it lasts a long while even when used daily like you should. A+++

Ingredients listed on the toothpaste parcel, that was delivered to me, reveal no enzymes in its formulation. This toothpaste, instead, lists as its ingredients a recipe of chemicals and flavor additives. Therefore, it is unclear how or why this toothpaste is marketed as "enzymatic". It is not.

I think the toothpaste stinks, but my baby loves it! It certainly doesn't smell like chicken, maybe a dead one, but hey dogs love what they love! I have no problem brushing his teeth, but I do have a problem getting to the back teeth because his mouth is narrow plus he's so busy trying to taste the toothpaste. I am using an extra-soft child toothbrush and it is small, but it's just a tight fit trying to get to his back molars. I only brush the outside of his teeth because I read that the enzymatic action will take care of the inside part of the teeth. I'm proud to say his teeth are very clean and white looking.My hugga-bugga is a year and 8 months and I wanted to make sure that when it comes to his teeth, that he would have the best care. Even now, if you mention that you brush your dog's teeth, you will get laughed at. But if they can't eat or have an infection due to bad teeth, just like with humans, it will have an enormous affect on their health.This is a large tube and I smear a tiny amount for each side and front teeth. This tube will last a while.
