Guest dude Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My wife found this product online. Has anyone used this product on there greyhounds? If so, how well does it work? It seems like a valid product, but I just don't know. I wanted to get some options. God knows brushing can be the biggest hassle of all. Thanks in advance.

cristar Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wonderful product. A lot of people here use it and I've used it on all of our seven greyhounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_daerr Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've used it with mediocre results, but I've heard rave reviews from other people on GT. So it probably depends on the dog and the combination of other products you're using. I tried both the gel and spray- the spray was much easier to use and less of a hassle.

Guest dude Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I found another product called DentaSure which does not have any alcohol in it, but cost twice as much. I guess I'm more worried about the long term affects on the dog. Would small amounts of grain alcohol be bad for them over time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be perfectly honest, you're probably not going to find one "miracle product." I've looked high and low and spent a great deal of money trying. We do a combination of knee bones, CET chews, and a water additive. My almost 6 year old has never had a dental, and he gets lots of compliments on his teeth.

ramonaghan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We use this water additive: http://amzn.com/B0054WTPBY. I think it's helped tremendously with the "breath of death" Sweep had when she first arrived. We also give frozen marrow bones once a week or so, and other teeth-scraping treats like beef trachea and lamb ears—both recommended by our vet, who has 6 or 7 greys of her own and does not give them dentals. She says Sweep's teeth are great. Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

JustSnoozing Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We use Tropiclean - but the gel rather than the water additive. I think it does a reasonable job with Rebel...Dippy hates the taste and runs away. We also use tooth cleaning treats (eg knuckle bones) regularly.
