Cet Aquadent

[Guest GreytMuse]

I am looking for additional dental products for my dogs, and have been following the Wysong thread with interest. I also was interested in this product:

 

C.E.T. AquaDent (16.9 fl.oz)

 

C.E.T AquaDent is formulated by veterinary dental specialists to help freshen your pet's breath and prevent plaque accumulation when used in conjunction with a regular home dental care program. simply add C.E.T. AquaDent to your pet's drinking water to provide clinically tested dental care every time your pet drinks.

 

Directions:

Intended for dogs and cats over 6 months of age. For dogs over 25 lbs. add two teaspoonfuls (10 mL) of C.E.T. AquaDent to one quart (960 mL) of fresh drinking water daily. For small dogs under 25 lbs. or cats, add 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) of C.E.T. AquaDent to one pint (475 mL) of fresh water. Provide additional non-treated water as needed. Discard any treated water not consumed witin 24 hrs. Prepare fresh C.E.T AquaDent solution each day. As with any product not intended for human consumption, please keep out of reach of children.

 

Ingredients:

Xylitol and Chlorhexidine Gluconate in a proprietary alcohol-free vehicle. Store at room temperature.

 

My question is about the xylitol as the main ingredient in the Aquadent. Some quick research (search xylitol + dogs) showed that xylitol is poisonous to dogs, especially in things where it occurs as the first ingredient. Now I am confused...any opinions on this product? It really got some good reviews on different sites.

I use it. Dr. Bill Freeman told me about this.

I was given a whole free bottle of this over the weekend and was also wondering if it was safe. My worry was that there are several artificial coloring agents in it that the dog would be consuming every day. I didn't even notice the xylitol! It is something I would like to try but I want more info and assurance it's safe before I'll use it.
