Does this get rid of plaque that's already on dogs teeth?

Yes - after few weeks the improvements is very visible. The bad breath is much better now.

Everyone that I have referred to this product has been very happy with the results. Don't expect it to go away in a couple of days. But, you will notice a good difference in a month. My dog is going on 13 and she has never had any dental work whatsoever.

This adorable rescue dog had teeth that could not be cleaned even professionally by the Veterinarian. Not only did they still look deep yellow-orange with some brown, they seemed to have a thick covering on top of the discolouring. It seemed it was a permanent situation as she may have never had her teeth cleaned before. I had gently brushed her teeth with a soft finger brush and toothpaste for dogs. Her gums became so inflamed they rolled right over her teeth. I was so sad for her and became afraid to brush them at all. She is always willing to allow me to try to help her. I don't know how much of that is due to her previous life and is afraid to not "listen" to whatever is asked of her. What a great relief it was when I received the bottle of "Proden PlaqueOff Dental Care...". It really went way beyond what I ever expected of it. My beautiful big brown eyed, absolutely adorable loving dog, has white, yes, white teeth. The gums, which I didn't think would have any response to this product, began to loose that awful red, almost purple appearance and the swelling also showed some improvement. Because her mouth was in such distress, I was pleased with that much improvement. After going beyond a week, the gums were getting pink and all the white teeth were visible. I actually cried, as this meant I would not have to brush her tender mouth. It wasn't helping. If she could talk to you, she could tell you how much happier she is. Wishing you the same great results I have experienced. This little dog had one of the worst cases of plaque and gum inflammation ever. I know my beautiful dog would be loosing teeth without this. Oh, and her breath is so clean smelling now. Suzanne B.

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.

The label says that it addresses plaque and tartar which is generally the cause of gingivitis. If your dog has a bad case of gingivitis I would suggest that you see a vet to see if your dog needs to get its teeth professionally cleaned and then start on this product.

If you cut the product, ostensibly to reduce choking hazard, it does not have time in the mouth to provide enzyme reaction that produces peroxide for teeth cleaning. I suggest other approaches but can't offer suggestions without knowing your dog. In general, do NOT leave a dog unsupervised with raw hide chews and do NOT give to a dog that you already know swallows big pieces of anything.

Hi--The active ingredient is chlorine dioxide, which is supposed to help eliminate plaque-causing bacteria. This ingredient is found in more than one reputable product. I subscribe to Tufts University's cat newsletter and to Cat Fancy magazine. I haven't heard anything negative about this product. Plaque is a long-term health risk for sure, as is the anesthesia used for dental cleanings. Check with your vet, I'm just someone who loves his cat! I'd be more worried about the serious risks of too-frequent vaccinations and site sarcomas. If you learn of anything dangerous about this product, I'd really appreciate it if you'd reply to this post and let me know. Best of luck in your search for information.

I think they have added chlorhexidine, which kills plaque bacteria, but I would stay away from the premium ones. They used to be larger and thicker. now they are smaller and thin to the point that my dog swallows them whole after a couple of chews. I returned my last order because I was afraid my dog would choke

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. Hope this helps you. http://www.1800petmeds.com/product.jsp?id=prod10593&sku=11054?AFFID=MS&ID=1082123976&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bingads&utm_content=bing_plas

Try vinegar. It works well. A soft tooth brush and vinegar and rinse. Hope that helps.

My dog was facing a cleaning like yours. I have an older dog that doesn't tolerate being put under well. I purchased Oratene in the summer and by late fall when we had a well dog check up, the doctor said we could hold on the dental. I've continued to use Oratene in all her dog water bowls and it just keeps getting better. I also supplement with greenies...but this stuff works.

It will whiten the whole tooth. This product was recommended by my dentist. It really is amazing stuff. Just use the recommended time on the directions. Hope this helps...

No I never rinse this toothpaste out. I do not believe it is harmful for them. I use this product on each dog daily.

No, I have a med/large pitbull mix and it takes her about 30 seconds to a minute to polish one of these off. I give her one about twice a week as a treat and to clean her teeth, but that's all it's good for.

It's difficult to say. If you mean do they mean I don't have to do yearly dental prophase on my cats, no. But they are easy to use, do no harm and they do keep the water fountains cleaner so I extrapolate that into meaning it's keeping their mouth cleaner, too. As I was trained as a vet tech, I know that brushing is best, dental chews and dental diets next best and water additives after that. It only makes sense. But I do think the water additive helps the gingivitis. BUT, I did not care for the Oratene AT ALL, as explained in my review.

Our cocker's back teeth, the molars were very bad, plaque was totally covering her back teeth on the top. I used this product twice a day along with brushing daily and I also gave her a rawhide bone to chew on. Problem with her back teeth is she does not use the back ones that much to chew with so the plaque is an ongoing issue. Using this product along with brushing daily and a rawhide daily, the plaque was all gone and her teeth with shiny white withing 2 weeks, yes, 2 weeks, long before the time frame that the product stated it would take. I gave it to the dog twice daily for approx 5 weeks, and now use it approx 2 times a week and have kept brushing approx once a week with a rawhide daily. The plaque on 2 of her back teeth was so thick and dark, you would have thought you could have chipped it off. Only other option I knew of to remove this plaque wwas to have a vet remove it for a fee of $250. I am a 100% believer in this product at least for our cocker. I honeslty could not believe how well this worked and how fast it got the teeth color back to white.

Yes, this happened to one of my dogs. He developed extremely bad breath after I applied the product to him. I mean, my dog never has GOOD smelling breath, but it is usually a fishy smell. After applying the product, the smell of his breath was almost unbearable starting about an hour after application and clear into the next day. I can only describe it as a sort of skunky smell.

The directions are vague about this, but I think it makes more sense to do it after - that's how I used it, at least. It has no flouride so it doesn't clean your teeth, it just whitens. So I think it makes more sense to clean your teeth before trying to make them whiter.

I would say it removes build up, but not stains. My retainer has a few dark stains that are caused from fillings. It won't get rid of those.
