Questions & Answers

8 Customer Questions

Would this help to remove existing plaque?

How does the apply? It isn’t a spray.

Answer by Chewy • Mar 21, 2021
Open the bottle and pour in the accompanying vial of Vitamin C. Replace applicator tip. After globule drops to the bottom of the bottle, shake until dissolved. Rub or squeeze a small amount (a pea size droplet for cats) on each side above your pet’s back upper teeth and gums. A natural cleansing action will distribute product to remote areas.

How long does product stay active if kept refrigerated.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 12, 2021
Usually between 12 and 18 months. It is important to remember that the color of the product indicates if the product is still efficacious. The product starts blue and then will change to a wide range of the color green. Any shade of green shows that the product is still working. If it changes to a yellowish or brownish color, the product is no longer effective.

is it safe for six month old cat

Answer by Chewy • Mar 30, 2022
This is safe for cats and dogs of any age.

Vet recommended, did not work

My dog has had several dental surgeries over the years, the most recent was the most extensive. Six months later, his gums were still inflamed. Vet recommended this

My dog has had several dental surgeries over the years, the most recent was the most extensive. Six months later, his gums were still inflamed. Vet recommended this product, and I was excited to try it. First, it was clear my dog HATED the taste. Second, it's not a gel, as stated, it's a liquid, albeit slightly thicker than water, but not by much. It's not easy to apply. A gel would be easier. Third, my dog's gums now look worse, not better, so I am stopping usage. I will go back to Vet's Best enzymatic toothpaste, my old standby, which Chewy sells.

Extremely watery!

For years I have cleaned my dogs teeth with ORAZen with outstanding results. I mistakenly purchased two bottles of MAXI/GUARD Pet dental gel and regret the purchase

For years I have cleaned my dogs teeth with ORAZen with outstanding results. I mistakenly purchased two bottles of MAXI/GUARD Pet dental gel and regret the purchase. It is a liquid instead of gel. For a couple dollars more I recommend buying the OraZen. Smaller bottle but you use Lot less.

Ease of use with finger brush.

He seems to like the flavor and it seems to spread across teeth and gums okay. Too soon to tell how effective it will be.

Not a Gel and funky ingredients

Got this from my vet who said it was a gel. It's not, it's a runny liquid and hard to apply. Also looking at the ingredients; Methylparaben, Propylparaben, F.D.&C

Best dental gel

This was recommended by my vet and has been the best dental gel I’ve tried. My pets are not bothered by the taste. The product is a bit runny so it works best on a bristle brush over a rubber brush.

This didn't work

I've been using this every day nothing has changed with my dog's breath all three dogs. Nothing has changed with the condition of their teeth and they do not like it. I will have to take this off of autoship and try to return it. My daughter is using one that she puts in the water and says it works well.

Easy oral health

My vet had me start using this gel several years ago so I combine it with nightly tooth brushing. It seems to be effective

I like the concept of this and it is easy to use but since starting this my dog, a miniature poodle, has small yellow throw up. This is the only change as to what she has been getting. I am going to try only 3 days a week and see what happens.
