Ark Naturals Plaque-Zapper Water Additive Dog & Cat Pouches

We purchased this for our senior 15-year old cat who has experienced some dental issues with age and is not overly fond of brushing. She took to it fairly well and her remaining teeth, particularly those in the front, appear cleaner and brighter. I am still maintaining our brushing 'rodeos', however, as the product seems less likely to properly coat and/or linger on the back molars. That aside, I am appalled at the waste this product generates. Each serving is in its own small foil pouch; all of the pouches are contained in a plastic zip-lock bag. If the recycling center in your area is similar to ours, they will not take the foil pouches. As such, these are items destined for a landfill and We purchased this for our senior 15-year old cat who has experienced some dental issues with age and is not overly fond of brushing.

It would be wonderful if the manufacturer reconsidered the packaging and application. I.e. a refillable glass jar with x-amount of product that could be added to pet's water using a small measuring spoon. This or similar would induce me to purchase again. … more

It's like a therapeutic mouthwash for my dogs. They get a plaque treatment every time they take a drink. Small packet size makes it easy to take along for travel. Doesn't hit the back teeth very well (think of your dog swallowing liquid. We introduced the fizzy powder into the drinking water over 10 days & they have all loved it. GGRRRREATT for seniors.

My dog definitely does not drink as much water when I put the additive in. It doesn't have any smell but it does make the water more fizzy I guess so she notices the difference and won't drink it

My dogs will not drink water with this in it. I dont know if it is the flavor or the fizz.

Along with the Forza 10 dental recipe food and Brushless Toothpaste "treats", my boy's dental health has improved a million times over! I am so grateful for these products and the effect they've had in correcting my lack of knowledge regarding canine dental care. The ONLY issue was the fizzing but I pretended to drink it myself and he went straight for it. 3 ethos in and he doesn't even wait for it to stop fizzing before getting a drink. Life saver, game changer!!!

My dog won't eat his food if I try adding other plaque remover products so this tasteless water additive works great and my cat drinks it too. So I don't have to have dental work done which is expensive.

This particular lot of the 1.5gm packets contains wildly varying amounts of product in the packets. Without a chemical scale, I estimate that it can vary by as much as a factor of three. The 2gm packets seem to be more consistent.

We have been using this product since our little female Yorkie was 12 weeks old - She is now 3 1/2 years old with the whitest teeth you have ever seen & no bad breath! She gets all her checkups with the Vet & has not had to have her teeth cleaned one time - When the Vet checks her teeth, his remark is WOW! The supplement dissolves in their daily water without the dogs ever knowing - Everyone needs to try this product! As you can tell, we are well beyond being satisfied!

Dogs will not go to the water. No matter how thirsty they get.

Definitely works. Dogs drink it fine. Older Pug with some plaque and it's down by about half...we just started bag 3.
