Vet's Best Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste – Vet Formulated Dental Gel for Teeth Cleaning, Fresh Breath, Tartar Control, Plaque Remover & Oral Hygiene for Dogs, 3.5 oz

Have a 6 year old dog whose teeth I never brushed. Got a new puppy and decided that brushing was going to be a nightly routine. Included the 6 year old and his teeth have improved! Color/gunk are better! I had to look up this products ingredients to make sure I wasn’t crazy! But it helps build up! I’m so pleased and the dogs (even 6 year old) don’t fight me. Must taste good enough that it’s acceptable. But doesn’t smell. (Bad or good) definitely recommend! (However my dogs don’t like the brush, they prefer the finger grip)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My dog loves this toothpaste. And it cleanses very well which makes my dog's teeth shinier and shinier. Worth the money and highly recommend.

My 8 year old Yorkie had to have three teeth pulled and she has issues with build up on her teeth and awful breath. I was told to brush her teeth every day or every other day but she went nuts when I tried. I tried a few toothpastes and a couple of kinds of brushes and she just wasn't having it. Her breath got really bad recently and I was determined to get her teeth cleaner and get her used to brushing. This toothpaste seemed good (except for the neem oil in it which scared me but my vet said it was safe in the amount in this toothpaste) and had good reviews so I gave it a shot. It wasn't easy. But the toothpaste, which is a clear gel and minty smelling, seemed to be tasty even though my dog wasn't loving a brush in her mouth.I have been brushing my dog's teeth daily for as long as I can before she loses it and takes off. It has helped her breath so much! Her teeth are cleaner but she needs to stay still so I can get her back teeth cleaner. I think, in time, my dog will settle down and I will be able to keep her teeth clean and her breath fresh. This is the only toothpaste that she could stand and even seems to like so I am sticking with it for now. I will try other similar toothpastes with similar ingredients minus the neem oil though to see if my dog will like one as much because it does scare me a bit that it isn't a super safe ingredient for dogs. I removed a star because of that. (Pic attached is Molly, my Yorkie, and my husband. He brushes his own teeth and never hides when he sees a toothbrush. lol.)

I went to the vet to get a quote to clean my dogs teeth. I have a female and a male. The female I was quoted about $280 and the male $252 (don't know why the price difference cause they are the same breed), but anyway, that was the price I was given, so I started looking into a toothpaste that could remove the tartar.A lot of people that have dogs have told me "No, that doesn't work, once they have tartar the vet has to remove it, you cannot remove it at home". Well, I am hard headed and decided to buy this toothpaste. I purchased the toothpaste back in October 2020 and quickly I started rubbing toothpaste on my dog's teeth everyday, not really cleaning then, just using my finger and rubbing the gel on each tooth that had heavy tartar, including the ones in the back (molars) that are hard to reach because my dogs are kinda small, so the smaller the mouth, the harder it is to clean them.About 2 months ago I purchased 10 finger brushes (ASIN B07NYB6DND) and I started performing a better cleaning. Yesterday 02/13/2021 I noticed a little gap between the gum and the tartar and I happened to get my nail in between and without a lot of pressure I pushed down and the tartar came off. I decided to do the same with the molars and the tartar also came off. I then continued to my other dog (the female), did the same thing, and I was able to also remove the tartar all around. I was very happy, cause I did not think the time I have spent rubbing toothpaste everyday will pay off. I do not have to spend over $500, because now their teeth are clean, I just have to maintain them now :0)The toothpaste does work, but it will not remove the tartar in a week, or two weeks, probably not in a month, it might take 4 to 5 months, and it does take time and patience.Hope this review helps youThanks

My dog Chloe loves it every night brushing her teeth. She doesn’t gag from the taste , it’s clear and it doesn’t foam in the mouth .

Nope, Virbac CET Enzymatic Toothpaste is better. This one is clear and more liquid imo. It's cheaper that Virbac but not worth it. Dogs ok with the taste of this one but preferer the other.

Very good quality with no bad ingredients

I purchased this when we started our dental journey over a year ago.My 5 year old puppy's vet had commented multiple times on his dental disease and gingivitis. At this point we took him to the vet annually to have his teeth professionally cleaned but plaque always built up really fast again.Since dental health affects overall health I was quite concerned and started looking for solutions.Prior to his last dental cleaning I started a daily tooth brushing routine with this product. I initially used the toothbrush that came with this toothpaste but my dog hated it. I figured the brush might just be too hard and bought an ultra soft small kid's toothbrush which was a total game changer. He tolerated the brushing very well from this point on.We only used this product for 2 weeks before going for the dental cleaning and the vet was amazed at the change! The enzymatic action of the toothpaste really did work.We have since been continued to brush his teeth daily and our dog looks forward to the routine. The taste of the gel seems to appeal to him and the tube lasts us quite a few weeks. With the subscribe and save discount of 15% the toothpaste becomes even more affordable.Attached is a current picture of his teeth and gums - they look beautiful and bad breath is now a thing of the past.
