Oratene Veterinarian Maintenance Gel for Animals - 2.5 oz

My cats don’t seem to mind the taste of it which is a good thing. It seems to be working pretty well so far in keeping their teeth cleaned!

I tried at least 4 other dog dental gels before I found this one... wish I had just seen this right off the bat. This one works where the others didn't do much of anything. I put a dab on the upper gums over the back molars on each side of my 10 year old cockerpoo's mouth in the morning, and also in the evening. The tartar is bascially all gone. For the record, I still brush with canine tooth paste - our vet believes that helps stimulate the gums and fight periodontitis. However, where I used to brush for 2 or 3 minutes, frankly just a good quick scrub with the toothbrush each night does the trick. I think this gel does the heavy lifting.I would not try using this gel with a brush - it is too gooey. But it works great with a dab on the finger and just rubbing it on the gums. Let the enzymes do the work!

Easy to use , my dog loves this . Wish it were a bigger tube to last longer.

My dog is a rescue dog. Me having a great deal of money it helped get her through a good deal of pain. Had to have all her teeth removed but this made the transition much easier. I would highly recommend!

My dog is older and he was getting GREAT teeth check ups and then he wasn't. Happened fast. I was using a tooth product and then just didn't seem to work as well any longer.As my dog is older, I weighed the idea of a professional cleaning (where he WOULD BE knocked out for it) and the possible side effects, dangers, so trying something else.I researched A LOT. I have used Zymox products in the past, just not their ORATENE products, and decided to first use their ANTIBACTERIAL GEL (that you just use for a week or so, to reduce infection) and then I switched to using the ORATENE MAINTENANCE GEL EVERY DAY. So far, it has made a big difference and I have tried other products before this.SO, if your dog needs a teeth cleaning, has gum issues, I suggest just researching, talking to your vet and weighing the options and pros and cons of each, especially if your dog is older and/or has other health issues. For some dogs, the professional cleaning may be the best or only option, but I wasn't willing to have my dog, at his age, put under for the cleaning if I could possibly help it. For now, this seems to be helping quite a bit. First clue, was his breath is not like a combination of sewer and roadkill.

My dog kept licking his lips. All lab tests were negative so my vet recommended this product. I think my dog likes it because he sits very still while I apply it once a day (as directed) after his meal or treat. This has become part of our daily routine. More importantly, he doesn't lick his lips anymore!

I use this on my 14 year old pom. She hates her teeth brushed now. But I still brush and then put this paste on her teeth. Actually she is almost 15. My other 4 poms get this sometimes, then I use Plaque Blast on them. I am a real bugger about brushing my girls teeth. Plaque is a killer I buy this product once a month, good product!

3 stars because my dog loves the taste. It really doesn't seem to do much and is a bit runny so it falls off the tooth brush. Gets pretty gummed up in the finger brush too. I am going to switch to more of a paste and use one of the squirt gels in the water instead.
