Questions & Answers

Would anyone know the difference between the tartar control toothpaste and the regular enzymatic toothpaste the store sells? This seems better to you, do you agree?

It does not seem necessary to call enzymatic toothpaste a tartar control product, because the enzymes are what make the toothpaste tartar Both are the same, if I am not mistaken.

There has been a change in formulation? It looks like I can no longer purchase the enzymatic toothpaste that controls tartar. ?

Only that it was an enzyme toothpaste surprised me, as I was not aware of any tartar control versions.

While the beef flavor is clear, there is a dark gray or metal residue on the screw top and inside of the Are there any beef users out there who are willing to check and tell me what your tube looks like? Thanks a lot?

It is my dog's health that I am concerned about, so I returned the beef flavor because of the metallic residue (which looked like corrosion to me). There is no metal gunk in the tubes with plastic nozzles, but this issue does not appear in tubes with metal nozzles. It has plastic nozzles, and I use the poultry and malt flavors. This is a great product!

The beef-flavored one I bought is the one I bought. My first noticing was there was no type of seal on it when I opened Did there need to be one?

There is an alarming amount of corroded residue You should not use it
3/5

It only took a few weeks for a silver black residue to form inside the cap and around the opening. It seemed to be an anomaly, so I wiped it off. As a result, there was some residue left. Since my pet had such a reaction, I do not want to risk any side effects by putting this paste in his mouth. In my experience, I am not the only one who has faced this problem. I hope that Virbac will address it soon. In addition, the product has not been certified by the VOHC.

You should take it from someone who knows what they are doing
5/5

Since I am a registered dental hygienist (for people) who has also cleaned dog teeth in veterinary clinics as well as my own dogs' teeth at home, I can speak to the importance of proper oral care for us all. By regularly cleaning your teeth, you can help prevent both tooth decay and gum disease (which ultimately causes teeth to loosen and fall out). It is a valuable service to have your pet's teeth cleaned by the vet while they are in office This is one I recommend highly But it is not only painful for your pet (anesthesia required) it is also expensive In other words, if you do it every couple of years instead of every year, you will both be happier! For clarity, let me state Consult your vet if you feel that you need in-home care If you would like to get medical treatment, then make it happen Anesthesia is the only way to diagnose and treat some conditions they can only treat in their office. However, you can also do a lot at home in the meantime as well as after the exam. As far as C is concerned, I have found it quite successful. The best toothpastes with enzymes are enzymatic toothpastes As for the toothpaste, I highly recommend it, it works excellently, and my dogs love the taste. Enzymatic toothpaste works by dissolving deposits chemically before they harden into tartar, which can only be removed by professional hands. It is still essential to brush your teeth because the mechanical action also cleans them. It is just not possible to achieve success with sprays. Brushing is vital (to prevent the hardening of those deposits) before they cause damage to your teeth. Keeping your pet's coat brushed also helps him or her accept treatment. They all enjoy the taste and attention, and really look forward to it when the meal arrives. It's very easy to start off by just putting a brush near their mouth, then brushing a few teeth next time, etc. - Do this slowly at a time. If your child likes the toothpaste or another tasty treat you can reward her with a small taste (I use tiny bits of cheese) As you brush more, you will spend more time on it. If your pet takes a long period of time for treatment to be effective, it can take days or weeks for them to accept long enough treatment to get rid of all the plaque. You can find a great deal of helpful videos online demonstrating how to gradually work up to this, as well as The books themselves are also excellent. It is a human kid that I use- There is no need for special brushes for the small dog and the big guy - just regular adult brushes for both of them. While the sticks with bristles that wrap around all sides of the teeth are quite nice. This is a daunting task at first, but give it time and soon you can do it quite quickly. Keep your brush clean by brushing regularly. As often as once a week, preferably once a day To get rid of those deposits before they harden (they harden in just a few days!) it takes two days! Be sure to brush your own teeth afterward There's no difference between the two The only way to get rid of it is to see your dentist or hygienist once it hardens on there. Therefore, you are putting yourself at risk for both tooth decay and gum disease for as long as it remains there. There will be tooth loss as a result. Getting started as soon as possible will be beneficial If the dog is experiencing tooth pain from missing teeth and is not eating well, please don't wait until the dog is very old. Often, you feel bad watching your beloved pet go through anesthesia when he or she is too old and ill to encounter anesthesia, and you wish that you had invested quality time with your pet to prevent this. Additionally, I would like to point out that What you allow your dog to chew on should be carefully selected In addition to hard toys, bones that are not fresh, and tennis balls, their teeth can also become broken over time, which can result in tooth loss or maybe even an emergency extraction. Watch your child's chewing behavior and limit it when possible. When I want to give my girl something safe to chew on, I use fresh marrow bones and elk antlers.

There is no way I can tell you
3/5

Although my dog tolerates it just fine, I read recently about how our food contains chemicals. Did toothpaste cause my dog's gum tumor? I recently noticed a tumor on her gums. Do you know what I don't trust anything any more, not even food. (See my green tea review for more on why I no longer trust food). In fact, I was not even able to solve my dog's oral bacteria and yeast problem with toothpaste. The breath of this young lady was always terrible even after brushing each day. Recently I have taken a dry microfiber cloth and gently wiped her teeth and mouth with it, and then I have been brushing her teeth with organic coconut oil, and she has much better breath than when she uses this or any other dog toothpaste. Coconut oil is kind of like shortening. Despite its solidity, it melts almost as soon as it is As for her mouth, it appears to be less bacteria-ridden than when she uses toothpaste - which is supposed to stop oral bacteria. But she also wipes her teeth with microfiber cloths to insure that they are dry, so perhaps that is why it works.

You can find the best stuff to take care of your pet's teeth here! A sample of Vanilla Mint toothpaste was given to me by my veterinarian
5/5

When I first started brushing my cat's teeth, her gums bled a little, but after she used the Virbac CET toothpaste for a week, the bleeding stopped, and her teeth began to look There has never been any suggestion from her vet that she needs to have teeth cleaned, and she does not She has brushed her teeth with other enzymatic toothpaste before, but she did not get much of a difference. Make sure you always introduce your pet to new things like this. Let them sniff it, then let them lick a little of your finger to get a sense of It was interesting to see my cat wasn't too interested in the flavor of the new tube of beef toothpaste, but my dog is more than willing to eat it right out of the tube if I As a pet owner, it is convenient to have a Virbac CET toothpaste that I can use on both my dogs and cats, instead of spending a small fortune on only one type of toothpaste for each of As I started brushing my dog's teeth today, she started not responding to the brush the way she usually does, but once she realized that I had the Virbac on the brush, she started licking it to get rid of it- I was horrified. This will help her brush her teeth much more efficiently. So that her breath would be nice and fresh when I was done brushing her, I let her lick the brush after I finished shaving. However, my dog rarely suffers from bad breath, so I rinsed her mouth instead for her entertainment and to ensure she had plenty of enzymes in her mouth to run down tartar. Compared with other pet toothpastes I have tried, I am quite impressed with how much my pets enjoy this toothpaste. My veterinarian gave me a sample of this toothpaste, and based on the results, it worked far better than any other toothpaste I have used on my animals.

A salivary cyst developed in my Min Pin as a result of using this product
3/5

This toothpaste did not appeal to my dog, who is like a walking stomach with four legs This metal container is made of metal. As the toothpaste is being dissolved into it, trace amounts of metal have been deposited into the product. This is dangerous. It worked for me once, but unfortunately my dog coughed as if he had eaten his meal too fast later on that night. Upon waking up the next morning, we found he had a big lump on his left side and a pouch under his jaw. It turned out that it was a salivary cyst! It usually requires surgery to remove if it doesn't go away on its own. Only time will tell whether things improve or not, although they seem to be improving. My experience has not been the same with other tooth pastes. I cannot prove that this toothpaste is at fault. We do not recommend this.
