Do you need to rinse this toothpaste from your dog's mouth after use?
230739
no, there is no need to rinse out their mouths. The toothpaste isn't like human types, it's made for your dog/cat to lick and swallow. hope that helps out
230740
No. He doesn't mind the taste of it and they make it safe for the dogs to swallow since they plan on dogs swallowing it.
230741
No. As a matter of fact, leaving the paste in her mouth is good.....the enzymes continue to work.
230742
No, it is recommended by my vet, and that is the only brand they carry. You should also add CET oral Hygiene Rinse on the days you do not brush your dog's teeth. I do mine every other day and use the rinse every day, after they eat, and it helps tarter build up so much.
230743
No, this is a dog/cat toothpaste, because you cannot get a pet to "rinse and spit". This (or any decent pet toothpaste) is designed to be consumed by the pet, in reasonable quantities. They like the taste, so it's easier to teach them to enjoy getting their teeth brushed.
230744
No I never rinse this toothpaste out. I do not believe it is harmful for them. I use this product on each dog daily.
230745
Nope. The dog likes it so much that by the time I'm through, she's swallowed most of it.
230746
no...my pup loves it and along with the CET Virbac chews all tartar is gone and her teeth sparkle

I followed the directions on the bottle.... The plaque on my dogs teeth was very bad... The directions said 4 pumps per quart for 4 weeks.. Then 2 pumps per quart thereafter. After one month the plaque was gone. I mix 2 pumps per quart of filtered water. I store the dogs water in a quart bottle in the fridge... Wife says a quart lasts about a week... When her bowl is almost empty we clean the bowl and add the Boiotene mix... We have a MiniPin, 8yrs old. Her teeth are very clean nad her breath is sweet.. Before Biotene she was getting bad breath and plaque filled teeth....We are very pleased with the product... I followed the directions on the bottle.... The plaque on my dogs teeth was very bad...

I am not certain, but I treat it the same I do toothpaste. I make sure that I get the majority of it out of my mouth so I do not ingest it. Personally, I usually do not rinse my mouth out directly after brushing/cleaning my tongue. I could be wrong, but I feel like the ingredients meant to prevent bacteria build-up in the mouth are largely rinsed out if I do that.

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.

Have not tried brushing so I cannot answer as to whether this is better. It does seem to work well for our terrier. She gets good comments about her teeth from the vet.

My dogs plaque is still there though lighter in color and her breath smells good. However, I probably only rub it on her teeth about twice a week. She doesn't let me actually brush her teeth.

On my dog and cat fountains, I put a little bit of bleach and water to wash/kill yucky stuff. Then, dish soap and RINSE, RINSE, RINSE. If it's unplugged, should be fine. I can't remember if the motor comes out of the dog one; I know I can pull it out of the cat one I have. (I gave the dog one away....beagle couldn't reach it.) But, since it's submerged in water all the time anyway, I think it should be fine. Bleach is my favorite cleaning product! Just Rinse, Rinse, Rinse!

Yep == of course you would have wiped clean - as best you can -- I had a sick dog and weathered poop and puke, always cleaning up, and following up with damp cloth etc... this stuff works great --- even days after if I could not attend to it ASAP after cleaning. the only product better is the one the chem dry specialists have, and that is not available to us. Follow directions and you will be please, I hope, as I am. good luck and still hug your dog.

On the jar where it's showing the dog, it says 8-1 D.D.S. Dental Care for Dogs. In the directions, it says "Gently wipe pet's teeth and gums with pad." so, one is saying one thing, the other indicates could be anything considered a pet. Sorry, don't feel confident answering that question. I would ask your vet.

I never rinse it off. I believe that it contains conditioners that are good for my puppy's feet. Also, here's a trick (as I've tried other brands and this is my favorite). Make sure that when closing it, you here the "snap" so that it is closed tightly. Then, turn it upside down so that any liquid goes to the top of the pouch and it won't be dried when pulling out the next one. The drier they are, the harder it is just to pull out one, so I do this with the Tushie Wipes too. Just make sure it's closed tightly, then you'll have an extra wet wipe ready for your next use.

You may want to discuss teeth brushing with your dogs' vet. Use only toothpaste for dogs, not h8mans. I use Petrodex on my dogs once a day and they have pearly whites with no bad breath. Bad breath is also a sign on gum infection (usually from not brushing).

I left it on and repeated application if my toothache warranted it. I never rinsed and had no ill side effects. Check the ingredients and see if there is any component(s) you need worry about; there were none for me. Hope this helps!

There is no reason to rinse it off. Just wipe down all over, then toss it.I wipe once from head to tail, then once from chin to crotch, then rub the bottom of each paw.That usually covers it. Usually takes 90 seconds.

Hi Cierra, thank you for your question. We are honestly sorry we could not respond you earlier.The efficiency of the product really depends on your cat's actual oral condition. Dental fresh Mouthwash should be given to pets between regular dental cleanings. It helps to improve the dental health however acts as a prevention rather than cure if the pet is suffering from more serious dental problems.We hope this helps.

NO! I just rinsed with cold water for several minutes. So technically the acid was still doing its thing. Use water/baking soda mixture to stop it quickly. Btw just used this for 3rd time, left on little longer than previous two, & SO pleased with results. Better each time!

Yes. It's one of the better anti-bacterial/anti-fungals for dogs. It is safe when used as directed, and if the dog licks it off, it actually helps clean the bacteria off his teeth and around his mouth. I use it all the time for my dog.

I don't know as I used it for my dog's feet to keep off any chemicals from when they fertilize the grass. I used it diluted. I don't think you can use it for a dental rinse. They also use it for horses.
