Hi, currently brushing my dog's teeth with Sentry Petrodex: Enzymatic Toothpaste (chicken flavor) and was looking for an alternative toothpaste/gel. Can anyone provide the specific directions on the label and how often should you use it? Thanks :D!

Not exact quote, and laced with my opinions:Put one drop on each side of pet's mouth near the teeth once per day. Brushing helps but, according to directions, is not necessary (I believe it is, for the best dental health). Withhold food for 30 minutes before and after application for best results. After 30 days, reduce application to 2x weekly for maintenance (I would do it every day, or at least brush with peroxide or other pet toothpaste every day).

I Love Tropiclean Gel. No brushing needed, just rub it on the dogs teeth. It makes a wonderful difference to their teeth and breath. I use it daily on my small dog. If the dog has really bad teeth you need to use it for a week or so and then brush away the tarter. Do this one hour after a feeding or one hour before for best results.

Once a day (atleast, twice is better) 30 minutes before or after food/drink. I have a big aussie and use just a drop for each side (total of 4 drops) and I use the finger cap style brush to rub the gel. You can see the difference in few days. Good luck.

Here are the directions off the back of the label...Directions: Apply 2 drops of gel to each side of the pets mouth. Apply directly to the teeth with plaque build up. Use once daily. You'll soon notice your pet licking their lips repeatedly. This is normal and helps the gel mix with the saliva and coat all surfaces of your pet's teeth and gums. For maximum effect, withhold food and water for 30 minutes before and after treatment. Tooth brushing is not necessary but will speed up the removal of softened plaque and tartar. Ordinarily, after 30 days, application can be reduced to twice weekly for regular maintenance.

No, not at all. Could be your dog got into something? Might want to check his teeth, Make sure no plaque or tartar buildup, I recommend Plaq clnz gel.

It's supposed to be undetectable to the pet when it's in the water, so I imagine you could do it on the food. However, keep in mind that the benefit of putting it in the water is that the mouth is empty of debris when they drink and the enzymes can then spread and coat the teeth nicely. It'd be like splashing your breakfast with mouthwash, you COULD do it, but the intent is for it to swish around and stay on your teeth. Hope that makes sense.

As listed on the bottle, the ingredients are: "0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride, and zinc in a soothing alcohol-free vehicle. Chlorhexidine is present in free and encapsulated form."I am not sure I understand the question about the amount per serving. However, I can tell you that I have two small dogs and apply two generous squeezes (one each side) per dog. The hole in the applicator is very small so an 8 oz. bottle will last about a year.One of my dogs will absolutely not allow me to brush her teeth. Therefore, I am very pleased with the product and know that it helps keeps my dogs' teeth clean and healthy.

Yes it is "Enzymatic". The attached www will give you all the ingredients. If you require additional "specifics", you may have to contact the manufacture. The product works, only if you use it. I DE-plaque my cats mouth twice per day, also use the dental additive in her water fountain and also the dental wipes. We use a small child's SOFT brush and store it in a toothbrush sanitizer after each use. We also change her bush monthly, due to her wanting to chew the brush.

I mix it in with his food three time a day. Since Zeel is for humans as well as dogs, it is best dissolved under the tongue. Which works fine for humans, but your right... the dogs just spit it out.

I forgot to also tell you, that my 8 momth old pup (mixed breed) LOVES this toothpaste! Murphy actually looks forward to having his teeth brushed...if you can believe that!? But, it's true! :)

I just licked it and didn't taste anything. Okay, I really didn't but it doesn't mention any induction of substance that would elicit taste. It doesn't smell like anything but rubber/latex and my puppy doesn't seem to find it flavorful.

I have bee using PetzLife on my 8 year old, five pound Maltese for over a year. The only ingredient that concerned me was the grain alcohol. According to my vet, the amount of alcohol it contains is so minute that it would have no adverse effect. If it contains fluoride, it is not listed on the ingredients label. The only change I have noticed in my Matese is cleaner teeth! After using it about a month she started chewing toys again, which also cleaned her teeth. Now I find I only rarely need to use the PetzLife. I am VERY pleased with this product and won't hesitate to use it on my other dogs if it becomes necessary.

I purchased this product along with probiotics and enzyme chews to help my pet with bad breath and gas. I also changed my dog's dog food to Taste of the Wild wet and kibble. I give her papaya, blueberries, apples, coconut oil and broccoli on occasion. She is walked everyday and is very, very healthy. She doesn't have itchy skin. Try the product along with other changes to your dog's diet. Try Earthbath Hot spot & Itch Relief, too. I put in the refrigerator.

I would send it back and ask for a sealed one and in the meantime, if you have any farm supply stores around you or even a pet store, ask them if they carry this product or something similar to purchase until your product is delivered. When I run out I go to an agriculture farm supply store and I purchase a probiotic to give to my cats until I can get a refill of the NaturVet Enzymes in the mail.

The green labeled product "PBF" (plaque-biofilm loosening formula is a light green clear gel with a slight mint taste. The blue labeled product "Fresh Mint Original" is creamy white and has a light peppermint flavor. I like them both. For me, they both keep my mouth fresh. I haven't been diagnosed with dry mouth. My periodontist started me on samples. I also use the Dry Mouth Mouthwash which has no alcohol. It tastes like mouthwash without alcohol. I haven't tried the oral rinse. WARNING: Keep these products away from your pets, especially DOGS. Keep all products with Xylitol away from your dog. According to the FDA, Xylitol can be deadly to a dog. "Xylitol is approved for human use and considered a safe sugar alternative for people. It is commonly used in sugar-free products such as candy, chewing gum, and baked goods and often a component to oral hygiene products like mouthwash and toothpaste. Xylitol can also be found in over-the-counter-medications, vitamins, and throat lozenges. Xylitol is also available in bulk for at home baking. Xylitol, a sugar compound sourced from the Birch tree, has been recently discovered to be 100 PERCENT LETHAL TO DOGS. In dogs, Xylitol causes a rapid release of insulin, causing a sharp decrease in blood sugar. It also can alter the electrolytes, potassium and phosphorus. Dogs can become depressed, uncoordinated, and weak. In severe cases, liver failure and coagulopathy (difficulty in blood clotting) can occur. Large amounts of Xylitol can cause seizures, coma, and even death. Symptoms can occur within minutes to days of ingestion of even a small amount (half of a stick of gum). If you think your pet has ingested any product containing Xylitol, contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center immediately." This is not something everyone is aware of, so please spread the word. I hope all of this info helped.

I have no idea. I once had a problem with my pet seal. It had horrible fish breath and refused to brush after lunch so I fed it breath mints.

I had the same issue and I thought it was probably a reaction of the metal tube to the enzymes in the toothpaste, so I did not order beef flavor again. I now only order the vanilla/mint flavor for my puppies, and it keeps their breath fresher than the other flavors anyway.

On my very stubborn Airedale-Great Pyreenes, I used it all the time initially. (Ionly use the vibration, not the shock but he acts as if he has been stung by bees.) Although he wore it constantly, I would just work on one behavior (barking, eating poo, 'wait', and now, I have given up on the poo thing because I just wasn't up to watching him every second he was outside). I've also failed in the 'don't eat off the counter' thing. He just drank a whole glass of Baileys, so this could be an interesting evening. I take it off now (he's nearly two) until the behavior we've been working on pops up again, or he's having a particularly bad day. I can't say enough nice things about the widget. I tried a shock collar first, and I would watch him grit his teeth and just take it...not stopping barking at all.

The product states that it is enzymatic. Before purchasing the product the representative selling it also confirmed that it is enzymatic and following the instructions of use the plaque appears to be gone.
