Guest mcsheltie Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I would like to hear from those using Petzlife or Tropiclean. Especially if you have been using it for several years and/or with senior dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I used the Tropiclean water additive for the first 2-3 years we had Sweep. It helped her breath and didn't have any negative side effects, but I don't think it did much for plaque so I stopped using it. She gets some sort of "dental" treat every day--a bully stick, beef trachea, dental bone from Trader Joe's (basically a Greenie knockoff), or a milkbone--and that seems more effective. That said, I also suspect she's one of the lucky ones genetics-wise. She gets compliments on her teeth every time we see the vet and hasn't needed a dental since retiring in 2012, and we have never been consistent about brushing her teeth.

XTRAWLD Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Petzlife did nothing for me. Leba III is the only saviour IMO.

PrairieProf Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I have used PetzLife for years and I think it works well. But I also brush with pet toothpaste so it's hard to know the precise effect.

phall Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I used Petzlife for several years and I think it helped a bit - not hugely though. I switched to Tropiclean - the gel - and have been using that for a couple of years now. I apply it to both Lucas and Sox's teeth every night at bed time so that it stays longer in their mouth/on their teeth. In the morning I brush their teeth quickly with enzymatic toothpaste. Both Lucas and Sox are fairly new to me (both came home with me last October) and they both had a bit of plaque build up on some back teeth. After a few months of this protocol the teeth of both of them are looking much better. My vet will be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
