Let me share with all of you wet-nosed pet owners a rather elucidatingly telling story about a visit to my vet and our conversation about tartar-removing products.I had been using this product relatively consistently for the past few months with ostensibly no discernible results, to my chagrin.During my dog's annual wellness check-up/exam, I asked my doctor about the condition of my dog's teeth and mentioned that I was using tartar-removal products in tandem with brushing my dog's teeth almost every day. He immediately deprecated all of those products that "claim to remove tartar" because they "don't work," and he suggested that I discontinue usage of these products. (After doing some searching on the web, it turns out that it's not uncommon for vets to decidedly denounce tartar-removal products). My vet added that my dog will likely need to have a cleaning in 1 or 2 years (which entails putting the dog under anesthesia and cleaning her teeth for a couple hundred bucks).Although I was heavily disheartened by the input that the "doctor" had given me, I continued using my tartar-removing Nylabone product as well as Arm & Hammer's "Clinical Dental Pet Care Foam" for the next few days, and GUESS WHAT. After the third day when I went to brush my dog's tooth, I noticed that the HUGE deposit of tartar that had accumulated on one of her canine teeth had COMPLETELY SLID OFF! IT JUST SLID OFF LIKE MAGIC. So DON'T tell me that these products don't work because I've experienced first hand that they do, in fact, work.This is a bona fide testament to how duplicitous some (if not most) veterinarians can be. My mom has continually been telling me that the veterinarian merely feigns affection for your pet and genuinely wants your pet to be alive, but not necessarily healthy, so that the vet can capitalize on the treatments indicated for different diseases/illnesses that manifest. I try to see the good in people and always give them the benefit of the doubt; however, the events that unfolded here evidently indicate that either (1) my vet is an utter imbecile or (2) my vet is, indeed, a sly sleazeball who would rather see my dog undergo expensive treatment that requires anesthesia than see her health improved via substantially safer means (not to mention considerably more economical means).At any rate, I plan on continuing to use Nylabone's "Liquid Tartar Remover" and Arm & Hammer's "Clinical Dental Pet Care Foam" until all of the tartar has been removed from my beloved little doggy's teeth. I've already witnessed prodigious improvement in her oral health; most of the tartar buildup on the right side of her mouth is completely gone, and her breath doesn't stink anymore! I am truly elated at how much my dog's oral health has improved, and once again thoroughly enjoy my dog's kisses.For all those pet owners who don't want to subject their dogs to the dangers of anesthesia or to the risks and complications of using a tartar scraper and attempting to do a superficial tartar scrape, yourself, (which, by the way, doesn't even remove tartar that builds up under the gums), this is what has worked for me:1. Brush your dog's teeth as often as you can throughout the week--of course no more than once or twice a day.2. Use this Nylabone product in your beloved wet-nosed cheerful ball of love's water3. Use Arm & Hammer's "Clinical Dental Pet Care Foam" after brushing your dog's teethLastly, don't lose hope, and HANG IN THERE! Just when you're about to give up, stupendous results may lie right around the corner, as it did for me!Unfortunately, I can't tell you with 100% certainty that my success in reducing tartar on my dog's teeth is attributable solely to this Nylabone product, but I can tell you that this was one of three things that I've instituted in my dog's daily care which may or may not have contributed to my success. However, take comfort in knowing this: It IS possible to remove that rank and unsightly tartar buildup via safe and economical means. And remember, don't believe everything that your vet tells you! As my mother says, "They are regular people who are trying to make money and pay off their mortgages. Don't be so quick to put them up on a pedestal."P.S. In light of recent events, I'm definitely going to change vets. If you're curious as to which vet I used to attend, it was "Rocky Gorge Animal Hospital, Resort & Spa." I'm never going to bring my poor pup there ever again. What's worse is that this wasn't the first offence, either, but that's another story for another time.

Keep in mind that every furry baby is different and has different needs, however this product worked WONDERS for my pup. She gets her annual cleaning at the vet and we were told that plaque was starting to form on her teeth. She hates getting her teeth brushed at home but we power through it as best we can. Her breath was starting to become an issue as well even with daily dental treat use. So, I decided to try this water additive and it has made a significant difference! Her breath is much more pleasant, her teeth are looking better and the plaque is a bit more reduced (still brushing as well). I’ve tried other water additives and they don’t hold a candle to this product. Definitely worth it for us!

I’ve been using the Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Dog Water Additive for my furry friend, and I must say it’s been a game-changer! Here’s what I love about it:Effective Dental Care: This water additive is specially formulated to help reduce plaque that harbors bad bacteria. It’s like a mini dental spa for my dog’s mouth!Freshens Breath: Say goodbye to doggy breath! The Nylabone additive leaves my pup’s breath smelling fresher and more pleasant.Easy to Use: Just pour a little into your dog’s water bowl, and watch them drink their way to a healthier mouth. It’s fuss-free and hassle-free.Dog-Approved Taste: My dogs actually enjoy the taste! It’s not overpowering, and they happily slurp it up.While I can’t vouch for the 16 oz. size specifically, I’ve been using the larger 32 oz. bottle, and it has lasted quite a while. Overall, I highly recommend the Nylabone Advanced Oral Care Dog Water Additive for anyone looking to improve their dog’s dental hygiene and freshen their breath

have used this more than 15 years for my dogs and will keep on

This is an OK dental water additive - not the best. I had been using another popular brand for last several years (then it wasn't on the market for a little while - they changed the packaging). Meantime, bought Nylabone (less expensive). I follow directions on bottle and use it twice a week -- dogs don't really like it (funny smell). They smell it and then look at me (like I am trying to put "one over" on them - which I am!). Anyway, their breath is a little less "stinky." Other popular product was better and no funny smell. I don't know if funny taste (have to ask the dogs!). I will use Nylabone brand until gone and then go back to more expensive product (worked better on stinky doggy breath).

Works well. I can tell the difference in their breath when I don’t use it.

I usually get this from the big box pet store chain when I take my dog in to get his nails clipped (once a month). This size bottle runs $12 and typically lasts me the full month or right before (depending on how much water the mutt drinks). Why I never thought to check Amazon for it in the past is beyond me. The same 16 oz bottle was $4-5 cheaper. The BIG bottle was the same price that I pay for the small one at the store!!! I wanted the big bottle but by the time I placed the order, it was no longer eligible for Prime shipping so I got the smaller one instead.I have one of those self-watering 1-gallon dishes that my cat and dog both drink out of and they seem to like the flavor it gives. I use the cap to measure the liquid because really, who can be bothered to actually go get a tablespoon that you would have to wash LOL. I do 3 cap-fulls to the gallon of water (per the bottle, you could go with 4). I cannot honestly say that I have noticed a major change in the dog breath....but hey, he's a dog...they have hot stinky breath. I have been told his is like flowers compared to other dogs so I suppose his could be a whole lot worse...OK not really flowers, don't want to get your hopes up, but noticeably better smelling. I have been giving this to him off and on since he was a puppy (he's now 3 1/2 years old) so I guess I never noticed or paid attention. I don't check his teeth for the tartar buildup or anything but no one has ever said anything other than his teeth are as they should be.As stated above, they seem to enjoy the flavor which is good. I can't afford that much bottled water every week and even filtered, my tap water is disgusting. I notice he will drink more appropriate quantities of water if this is in it which makes me feel better when it's 100+ degrees outside. I am sure it has a bunch of crap in it that I really don't want my dog drinking (sodium laureth sulfate and maybe some others) but I can no longer use my dog-friendly mix of essential oils in its place because they are not cat-friendly and if you have ever tried telling a cat they cannot do something (ie drink from the dog's water bowl with the cat-life-threatening E.O's in it), you know it doesn't work out very well. I do like that it is made in the US...not that that really means anything anymore but hey, at least it's not made in China. I don't see anything on the bottle that says keep away from cats, then again other than the barely noticeable silhouette of a dog on the front of the bottle, and the short explanation about the pH of a dog's saliva on the back, it doesn't say it is specifically for dogs either. I got a kitten about 2 months ago and totally did not think about the water bowl contents. I had a small dish for her but she found his and would no longer drink hers. I have not seen any adverse effects so I am assuming this is pretty safe if your cat and dog share the same bowl like mine do. I'll keep letting her drink it until someone tells me otherwise.There is another brand that the big box store carries made by the big baking soda company. Does all the same stuff but doesn't have the blue/green dye in it. I have bought that in a pinch before but this is cheaper, even without Amazon pricing. Dog seemed to like both of them the same. The no-name brands on Amazon very well could be just as good, or better, and maybe more natural but since I am not familiar with them, I stick to this for now.

My malamute was about four months old when I decided to give this product a try. He loves to run around and do stinky things, which, consequently, would give him a bit of stinky breath. It wasn't unbearable, but there's nothing pleasant about it, either. When I got the water additive, we had recently started using a dog watering fountain that has about 2 gal capacity. Since he's still a young pup, I diluted the additive a bit more than what was instructed.It all went downhill from there.First, he started to drink from any source other than the main fountain with the additive. If there wasn't one, he would drink as little as possible from the fountain. I initially thought he might just need to take a bit to get used to the flavor, but now I wish I had taken that as a sign it was no good and stopped adding it right then and there.Second, he lost nearly all his appetite. This was shocking to me since growing mals should have nothing but a voracious appetite. Over a period of two weeks, he went from devouring everything in front of him to hardly touching his food. He would consume maybe a third of his needed intake by the end.Third, there was a weird gel buildup in the fountain any time I cleaned it. And there was a lot of it. Several other reviewers posted photos so you can see what I'm talking about. This was another red flag that I was I had taken more seriously and stopped right then and there.Fourth and Finally, my malamute started to vomit. A lot. At first I thought it might just be some puppy issue happening that day and to not worry, but it continued. This vomit was also not normal, either. Since he was hardly eating by this point, it was yellow, foamy, and slightly thicker than water. On the fourth day of it happening, he vomited three times within half an hour.I was very, very afraid for my dog at this point. These symptoms were a gradual build-up to the point where it ended in vomiting, so it had taken me a while to make the connection that this "dental health additive" was at the root of the issue. On that day where he was constantly vomiting, I thoroughly cleaned out the drinking fountain of any additive or the disgusting gel it was producing. I then hoped that he would get well on his own and I hadn't made a horrible mistake that required an emergency vet visit.After a few days, my mal thankfully did seem to go back to normal and has not had any nausea or vomiting since. He still seems uneasy about eating his food right away even after a few weeks of being free of that nasty stuff, but he does seem to be making a full turn-around.I can't say what for sure is at the cause of this whole thing, but after looking at the ingredients, it's likely that the sodium laureth sulfate is nothing but bad news. That stuff is meant to be in cosmetics and industrial cleaners, not in products designed for ingestion! SLES is known to cause nausea, vomiting, etc, along with other serious negative health effects if ingested over long terms, and is a chemical known to often be contaminated by 1,4 dioxane, which is a known CARCINOGEN.I cannot emphasize enough to NOT give this to your dog!!! If bad breath is a big enough concern, then look for a more expensive and better quality product rather than this cheap poison.

Worked well and was long lasting so good value for money.

Una truffa, é literalmente Listerine per gli umani.

Product is as described. Have used for a year now on my dog, and took my dog to the vet for his annual dental check up and she said his teeth are looking better. I have although, also been brushing my dog's teeth and giving him chicken necks to further clean his teeth, so not sure how much exactly this product has aided in the cleaning of the teeth.

Still not sure if this is very effective. Haven’t noticed any real difference but could be something that takes a while to work.Would be quite costly to continue using long term.

Lo compré por que el que usaba antes ya no salía d Amazon y leí muy buenos cometarios. Decidí arriesgarme y vaya sorpresa.Tengo 4 perros , dos chichuahas , un beagle y una cocker.El chihuahua adulto horrible olor de hocico y mucho sarroLas otras perritas son más jóvenes pero con aliento muy feo.Lo puse en su agua y a los pocos días noté que el aliento no olía tan horrible como en otras veces y después de como 8 días a la chihuahua de 5 años no le olía a nada el hocico, no olía a menta ni nada pero no olía feo . Y es que ella le gusta lamber todo y a todos.Al chihuahua de 11 años , que es al que peor le olía el hocico y tiene mucho sarro, ya no le apesta tan severo el hocico.Las otras dos perritas no son de lamber a las personas , pero e notado que tienen más limpios los dientes.Aún no ha pasado suficiente tiempo para ver si realmente ayuda con el sarro, pero al menos el aliento si ayudo increíblemente .Lo pedire de nuevo para siempre tener disponible.
