Would it work to put the tartar remover on a piece of guaze and rub it along my dog's gum line? Spraying into her mouth freaks her out!

I just spray it.But that piece of gauze it's Avery good idea.I will also try this for Toby.

That is exactly how we do it. Mine is a rescue dog and i believe she was disciplined with a spray bottle. So to avoid any of the mental anguish. We dp spray onto a piece of gauze and apply. It is better for all of us

I am not sure about this, maybe if you got it soaked enough. I know about freaking out, so does mine. Next time I will get the liquid and not foam. I think liquid would work better and hit the area better. I did not think about the noise, which is what I think scares them when you spray

I think it should. The grooves are too small for any snout and require the dog to use it's tongue to "fish" out the kibble.

From my own personal experience I'd say Yes. But, and this is a big but, we have stopped using all of these types of products because we were using it in our dog's sleeping area (where she peed) and she started acting weird a couple days later. We stopped using the product and she returned to normal. If your dog is like ours, he/she licks everything in existence, so you have to be careful with ANY substance like this which allows your dog to lap it up because maybe they like the taste. I've found that vineger and/or rubbing alcohol does an adequate job. Vinegar is totally harmless and the alcohol evaporates quickly especially if you blow a fan directly on it. Hope this helps!

It will stop it for sure... but will be very bad for the dog too... if you can avoid the dog is a better option instead of using the gel on it!!!

I imagine it would. You don't have to push down or apply any pressure so it's more like "petting". You can use the Furminator with slow strokes. Worth a try because I imagine your dog has quite an undercoat!

I doubt I can help you since I use the spray on my Pug. She is very bullish when it comes to caring for her teeth. I can hardly get her mouth open. I don't know if your cat would allow you to mess with the mouth area. I suppose it depends on the cat's personality. When I bought the spray, my vet led me to believe I could just spray it on my Pug's food. That was wrong. No spray can be used on food......just in case you need to know this. I stopped using the product altogether when my Pug started having seizures. I'm so busy taking care of her in other ways, I forgot about the dental spray. I thought it was very expensive for such a small bottle. I doubt I can help you since I use the spray on my Pug. She is very bullish when it comes to caring for her teeth.

Treat! Have puppy take treat and put the swab thingy in with the treat and pull it out fast. I never heard of a doggie not opening it's mouth. Hummmm. If the drool doesn't touch the floor or anything else that contaminate it I don't see where that wouldn't work. Just don't get the swabs soaked.

It's absolutely. It's no different than a human who uses a toothbrush, uses mouthwash and uses a tongue scraper. The Orapup just tackles the tongue bacteria in a different way. One more tool in our tool chest to help tame our dog's bad breath!

My opinion is that if your dog is already afraid of the groomer and bites, this product will only make your dog more afraid...I have a non aggressive dog, I used this to keep her from running and barking at passerby's... it really frightened her and made her act weird and avoid me for a couple days...

It was very difficult to do this on my dog too. He wanted to bite on the swabs. I distracted him with putting a clean toy on the opposite side of his teeth. While he was biting on that I was able to place the swab on the other cheek. Wisdom Panel says to ovoid letting the dog chew on anything 2 hour prior to the data collection, however, I had no choice. It was either that or no sample at all. Also, at first I tried with my own swab to see how he will tolerate it, after he relaxed I quickly switched to the swabs provided in the package. Good luck, hope it works out for you!

It's supposed to be undetectable to the pet when it's in the water, so I imagine you could do it on the food. However, keep in mind that the benefit of putting it in the water is that the mouth is empty of debris when they drink and the enzymes can then spread and coat the teeth nicely. It'd be like splashing your breakfast with mouthwash, you COULD do it, but the intent is for it to swish around and stay on your teeth. Hope that makes sense.

No, I just checked the label and it clearly states "For Dog Use Only." I'd suggest TicTacs or Altoids to help with your problem. :-) j/k! If you need more info, I can take a pic of the label/instructions and email that to you. Take care!

I wouldn't recommend this product unless your dog is very small. The device chokes the dog, so be careful with this product. Good luck ; )

I use it on my dog. She does lick it occasionally, but doesnt care for the taste so mostly leaves it alone. On the occasions when she has licked it, it didnt make her ill. Hope this helps.

It might work. If he is licking the nail, though, he might just chew it off. It takes a bit of glue. I also cut them down a bit so my dog' s fur does not get caught in the glue. It might be worth a try if you need some protection for that nail...Hope this helps a bit.

I used it on my dog and she was NOT happy, especially when I used it on her neck and tail area. That may, however, be the dog and not the clipper.

I don't see why not. It should have the same effect if dissolved or chewed.
