PetzLife Oral Care Gel with Wild Salmon Oil

I bought this product as an additional step in keeping my dog’s teeth clean and breath fresh. I was shocked when I read the second ingredient listed was GRAIN ALCOHOL!! I’m actually surprised Chewy would sell this product especially since it is listed as “All Natural”. Chewy was wonderful when I contacted them about this product and a refund but I just wanted buyers to make sure they knew that there was grain alcohol as the second largest ingredient (water is the first) in this gel.

I was hoping my 80# boxer would like this but she would have nothing to do with it. I don't know what it was but she would sniff it and then turn away. There was no way that I was going to get this in her mouth and onto her teeth.

I love it and it so helps with the bad breath and my dogs don't mind it at all. I use it in between brushing. I highly recommend this product.

I just received the salmon gel and my dog sort of tolerates it which is a good thing and will let you know in a month if I see any results but disapponted that it doesn't come in a tube as their is so much waste in a pump gel as it is pricey. At least with a tube you can squeeze it out.

The salmon oil doesn't hide the minty smell but it does minimize it and my girl seems to prefer this one over the one without salmon oil. The photos are of a 2.5 week difference of using this product twice daily.

I got this for my friends babies that I am babysitting for an unlimited time. They love it and I can apply with ease. But the best part is that is works. Excellent product. Thanks. CHEWY.

The stuff is awesome! Bad breath gone! Plaque build up almost gone in one week! I will be buying this again as part of pets hygiene routine.

I was looking for something to help the gingivitis associated with diabetes in my furry kid. This seemed the best choice after reading the ingredients. After the first week, WOW, great improvement. I use my finger to rub on his teeth inside and out. He does not mind at all. Love this product.

I am always on the prowl for effective dental products. I found this product was actually listed as a recommended product on a veterinary dentistry page. There was a PDF of all recommended products and this was something I had not tried before. I looked into the ingredients and found good reasoning for the inclusion of everything. I could not find a reason for the grain alcohol, so I called the company and was told that is used to keep the ingredients evenly mixed in the suspension which makes sense. I do not have a pet that likes peppermint so I got the salmon oil version. When the product arrived, timely as always, I actually did taste a teeny amount myself before use on my dog.

I wish there were a people version as I liked it, but questioned what my dog would think as the peppermint overpowered any salmon flavor. It was very refreshing but that is a quality people like, I don't think dogs share that appreciation. There was no use trying it on a cat. My pleasant, and very tolerant, beagle did not like the flavor and shook her head and did her best to rid herself of the taste. She started hiding when it was time to do teeth. So I bought a tube of a very tasty poultry flavored toothpaste for her to lick after I smeared one side of her teeth with Petzlife. That made it doable and both were dental products, so should be complimentary and much more appropriate than giving a food treat. She had had a dental about 6 mos prior and I had been brushing her teeth, but her gums still bled and tartar had collected. Within a short time of using Petzlife, I did see an improvement in her gum health and certainly her breath. My newest dog will not tolerate this product at all. This product says no brushing required. I will push back to that and say if you simply cannot brush the teeth, just have time to smear some product on the teeth, then that is a help and do that given how important dental health is to the pet. Even that has a net benefit. Or if you are concerned you might brush too hard and damage gums causing them to recede, another fine point to consider for not brushing. But to really do a proper job, the actual brushing is necessary. The friction will help remove small particles, instead of the gel and food pooling in a recessed corner of a tooth, the brushing will help whisk it away, and will give you a better idea of how healthy the gums are- do they bleed with even the slightest touch or are do remain unchanged? I do think this product has merit but it is not the right one for my situation. I found a better alternative here on Chewy and it seems to be effective and my dogs like the flavor. Nothing will ever replace dentals for our pets, but finding a product that works and your pet will tolerate will go a long way in helping your pet stay healthy and potentially decreasing the number of times dentals are necessary. … more

I have only used PtezLife for about a week. I was using C.E.T.. I have been mixing it with C.E.T. to transition. I don’t think my dogs like the taste of PetzLife.
