Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Dog & Cat Vanilla-Mint Flavor Toothpaste, 70 gram

After reading lots of online reviews I learned that there r many different flavors of toothpaste for dogs and u will just have to c which ur dog will tolerate & which he/she will not. I learned that the majority of dog toothpastes contain an ingredient that “isn’t good for dogs” — but like human toothpaste, if u follow the instructions and use it appropriately, the amount the dog will ingest is small enough to be safe. And again, every dogs tolerance will be different. Our dog is an 80 pound German Shepherd and tolerate this toothpaste very well. It has done a good job keeping her teeth and gums clean and healthy.

I am giving 3 stars because it's not the product's fault my dog doesn't like Vanilla-Mint, but we have no idea how well it works. 3 stars seems a fair neutral grade to give, but do know it's based solely on flavor. Gertie is not a finicky pooch, with medicine being the only thing she turns her nose up at. I read Many reviews about quality control and am taking this refusal of the product as a sign I should try another brand. I was iffy about buying it with only a handful of people reporting issues; however, I'm not willing to risk it a second time and am going to take my cue from her.

My dog hated this stuff right from the start, and even I find the smell overpowering. However, I pushed ahead and put it on his toys with high value treats hidden in them. Now a couple months later the tube is turning pink making me think there's bacterial or mold growth. Absolutely not giving it to him any more. Going back to vetoquinol and homemade toothpastes as he loves them both.

Purchased this product over a month ago in anticipation of my puppy. I brushed her teeth without toothpaste for the first month I had her since she had a parasite and some stomach problems early on. When I first squeezed out some toothpaste, everything looked normal; however, the second time I squeezed, it turned from a white paste to a dark brown. Did a bit of research and found that this is not unheard of with this product, and it’s made some dogs sick. We’ll have to wait and see how she feels having only had the white portion.

I first tried this toothpaste roughly 8 years ago upon my veterinarian’s recommendation and haven’t used any other brand since. It works great and the vanilla mint smells nice and my dog doesn’t seem to hate the flavor. My old senior cat actually loved the vanilla mint flavor and would lick it right out of the tube. It does a great job of fighting plaque build up and bad breath.

I'm not a fan of the chicken/meat flavored ones, i guess it's a mental thing - minty equals fresh breath. So far my dogs have not had an issue with the taste and enjoy it just as much as the previous poultry flavored one i replaced this with. My pug had the worst breath and this [along with TropiClean water] has made a HUGE difference.

My other cat Zaki has some dental issues/history. We tried other flavors and he said nope. I tried this flavor combination and Zaki loves it. He let's me brush his teeth a little bit longer with this toothpaste than the other ones. His teeth are starting to look a smidgen better. Very happy overall.

My dog loves to get her teeth brushed. She gets really excited when she sees me putting the toothpaste on a brush. Her teeth had a little tarter by the gum line and since we have started brushing with this toothpaste, the tarter is slowly going away. Would recommend this toothpaste to other pet owners!!

My dog doesn't like the taste of this toothpaste. We previously used a peanut butter flavor and she loved that one but this one seems to taste bad because she doesn't like getting her teeth brushed anymore. All this being said, it does what it is supposed to do.

I'm surprised that this actually worked the way reviewers said it would. My dog had tartar on his canines and smelly (but not unbearable) breath - I used this once a night every night for a week and the tartar cleared up completely. I was honestly really surprised. His breath was fine for maybe an hour after using it, but this is not a cure for dog breath (and that's fine). All in all, I'd recommend this and will continue using it.
