Petzlife Products VetzLife Oral Gel for Pets, 4.5-Ounce, Mint

Since we got our beloved Golden Retrievers, over thirteen years ago, I made a vow that I would be ultra diligent with their dental care because I wanted to keep them as healthy as possible, keep their breath fresh, & for them to never feel dental pain/discomfort. Starting from only a few weeks of age, they have had their teeth brushed nearly every day of their precious lives. In the beginning, I experimented with few different brands of toothpastes, but ultimately found a winning combination. I have been using this product for 5+ years now.Individually, I have them lie down with their left side up against the kitchen or bathroom cupboards. I then put a squirt of this product & a pea-sized amount of C.E.T. Tartar Control Seafood toothpaste on the toothbrush. I rest their head on my knee to stabilize their face, & begin by lifting the jowls on the left side & brushing in both directions, back & forth. To get the bottom back molars is a little tricky, but I angle to the toothbrush & slide it into place when their mouths open. Then I brush the right side of their teeth, applying another squirt of both toothpastes to the brush. I am careful to ensure that all of the teeth have been thoroughly scrubbed.The combination of these two products has worked really well for my girls. The PetzLife mint flavor keeps their breath minty fresh, although they don't really like the taste of it. This color of this product is kind-of clear tannish, with a gel-like consistency. The reason, however, why I rated the product a 4 instead of a 5 is because the pump on the bottle is terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And even when it does work, the little slits on the pump piece get gummy with dried gel. It's a poorly designed bottle. The most recent bottle that I purchased, I dumped into a tupperware bowl, which I dab the toothbrush into.After I finish brushing their teeth, I wipe their faces with a soft cloth & inspect the skin around their mouths. Lastly, I give the inside of their ears a good look over & then they're done! Happy, beautiful girls!

Not a 4.5 oz bottle.

I have a dog who is too old to get anesthesia for dental cleanings. Several months ago, he got a gum infection while boarding (assumedly from a shared water bowl). In addition to antibiotics, the vet wanted me to make sure his gums were free from food particles so that the infection stayed contained. I had been using chicken flavored toothpaste and spraying a little bit of vet-issued mouthwash into the area, but it was a super messy process and didn't seem to help protect his teeth. Every meal, sure enough, the food was sticking to his gums and I'd have to brush again.I got the oral gel to see if it might be a less messy and more effective solution. I am super happy with it. I've been using it for about 2 months now, and the infection is cleared up and food gets stuck to his gums way less often as well as less "gunk" building up on the teeth.I decided to use this as a replacement for toothpaste for my 2 year old dog as well.They both tolerate the taste just fine.My only complaint is that it is very easy to "over squeeze" and get too much solution splattering from the bottle. It's a thin gel. I wish the bottle were designed a bit better for administering a consistent amount.

I have used this product on my dog for the past three years with good results in maintaining the health of her teeth; she tolerates the daily process well and seems content after it is applied.

this product works so well that my vet started using it.

It works! My dogs love it! 4 times a week and no bad breath!

I was at first skeptical about using this product as I did not think it would work. However, I gave it a try and it works!!! My dog had really bad plaque build-up in her teeth. The first few times applying you will not notice much of a difference. However, after about 3 weeks, the plaque is down to almost none! I no longer apply every night, only as needed. Smells great and leaves your dog with fresh breath! Definitely worth a try.

I have purchased this so many timesMy dog is 10 now...her Vet said her teeth look good.I have not had to pay yet for the vet to clean her teethI started brushing her teeth when she was a puppy so now she is completely comfortable with it.I do use a dog toothpaste along with this product.And you also have to be careful... sometimes when you try to get gel it squirts on floor or on you.Still highly recommend
