What is the difference/efficacy between Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Dog Foaming Tartar Remover &Advanced Oral Care Foaming Tartar Remover w/Green Tea

I have never tried the foaming tartar remover with green tea so I have nothing to compare. I can't imagine adding green tea to the remover being anything but a marketing ploy. I have never seen anything about green tea being helpful for dogs - in a tartar remover or in anything else.

Funny as I saw the same items in my last visit to pet store the other day. I looked at both ingredients and I guess if your pooch is a Green Tea drinker go with that. My dogs never seem to ask for Green Tea. Sounds like pure marketing to me.

Sorry, I can not answer that. I do not know the difference. I do not use the product however. ( Only bought it once) Dr Sinatra Seanol Longevity Plus ( what I use) is a better product. Stronger and more pure. More expensive but worth the price .

Can't really tell the difference in the effects. I have only used the Super as it contains 4 times more of the oleander extract which I believe to be the most important ingredient. I like the stuff, face feels great. Have not used long enough to comment on the wrinkle reduction, but face looks and feels smoother.

One type is just the highly digestible chew with no additives and the other contains added chlorhexidine to assist in bacterial control. I hope this helps. :)

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.

Denamarin is the newer version of this drug but they are virtually the same, I like nutramax better as it is chewable and my dog is 15 years old and only has 5 teeth I crush it and mix it in her food plus denamarin is a lot more expensive but vets will tell you they are the same

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.

Hi Linda, By comparison I'm sorry, I don't know.... I have had both but didn't do a fine comparison enough to answer you properly. For me, it works, and it is a little stronger I believe since I can control how much water I put in the tank now (meaning how much I dilute it). I tend to use a bit of the the pet odor remover mixed in with the regular shampoo generally anyway..... just seems to work for me better overall (and I don't have pets but it takes odors from food stains away just as well).

This shows that you are commenting on the Tropiclean Fresh Breath Gel product. This Tropiclean Fresh Breath Gel product has indeed proven to work unlike a lot of other products that my clients have tried. I have tried the Tropiclean Gel on my dogs and really like the outcome. But it only works where there is the most saliva accumulated in their mouth. The gel works with the saliva in softening the tarter on the teeth. So, after using this every night and brushing every morning for 1 month as the label directs, I found that this really worked for my dogs' side and back teeth. Unfortunately, because dogs don't salivate around the canines or incisors as much as the side and back teeth, there was not much improvement around those front teeth. Because this product actually works, however, I do give it 5 stars. Not the products fault that it doesn't work around the front teeth, however. Like I said the Gel works with the saliva to soften the tarter on the teeth, and since dogs don't want to constantly drool, they tend not to bring a lot of their saliva to the front of the mouth (just enough to keep them lubricated). You just have to brush. You have to brush every day, because the Gel works at night to help "soften" the tarter not to break it off the tooth. That's where the brushing comes in. If you do not brush off the softened tarter each morning it becomes hardened once again. The Gel helps to soften layer-by-layer of tarter it will not take the complete amount of tarter off of the tooth in one night. After 1 month, my dogs' tarter on their side and back teeth was gone. It was very nice. I still recommend getting a dental done on your dogs and cats, but this will help to delay the dentals or space them out a bit longer in between dentals. This was a long explanation of the Gel, and for that I am sorry, but I hope that it helped at least a little bit.

GREENIES® Canine Dental Chews have the Veterinary Oral Health Council Seal of Acceptance for plaque and tartar control. In an independent 28-day feeding study, dogs receiving one GREENIES® Dental Chew per day averaged 60% less tartar accumulation, 33% less plaque accumulation, 80% healthier gums and 45% improvement in halitosis compared to dogs who only received dry dog food.

The VeggieDent Chews are made in Vietnam. C.E.T. is a well respected company and I thought they were made and distributed in the USA, so I was surprised when I received them and found that they are made elsewhere. However, my dog LOVES the chews, he is almost 15 and they have indeed helped reduce his plaque and improve his breath. I've not noticed any change in bowel or eating habits, no increase or decrease in water intake, etc. or any difference in behavior so I will continue to give them to him. Hope this helps answer your question!

I'm sorry, but we didn't give it a lot of chance to work. Plus, I brush my dog's teeth and he really doesn't have tartar so I can't really answer. I can tell you that my vet recommended them, and I can tell you that my dog really enjoyed chewing them-but he choked on them too often for my comfort. Sorry, not much help, was I?

Oratene is the new name for this product. Don't know the reason for the name change, but this product works. We have 2 dogs. One has perfectly white, very healthy teeth. The other had a lot of tartar and staining before using this product. The vet attributed this tartar problem to genetics, as both dogs have the same Science Diet food. This product freshens their breath as well. One pump on the bottle per bowl of water is all that is required. It's odorless, tasteless and colorless. Have been using this product for about 6 months with no complaints from either dog.

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.

There is no difference - it's the same. I have only used Opalescence and it works. It's the same as at the dentist office only cheaper.

They are one and the same. Its not 2 different products. SixThirteen Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Treatment is the complete name. It is available in different sizes and may have a different label depending on the distributor.

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.
