<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello Marie</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I use TropiClean clean teeth gel for the the boyz.
(there are 4 TropiClean products...Gel, foam, water additive and treats) This
product is xyiltol free! All natural and made in the USA! I like the gel better
and it has made a big improvement in their teeth. Last year at the vet he had
suggested their might be a possibility for needing a dental cleaning by their 6
month check up...at that check he asked me what I had been doing to their teeth
because they looked great...just a little staining but no tarter and no
gingivitis. The gel says just to squirt a little on the teeth but I use a finger
brush to spread it around and to really hit the problem areas. I also give them
science diet t/d large bites as a treat. (it is formulated to be a meal but the
large bites are large enough that it makes a nice little treat for them) </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The boyz still had a tad bit of buffalo (Taste of
the Wild buffalo food) breath smell to their brath...I am thinking that this
might be like coffee breath in humans. Unless you brush, or rinse after coffee
you carry that coffee breath with you for a while. So I started adding the
TropiClean water additive to their water and now they have kissable minty fresh
breath. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Note: The gel is the only one that says that it
reduces plaque and tarter. The others just say they fight bad breath and promote
healthy gums</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't have any connection to this company other
than being a satisfied customer. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>In addition to all that I will give them a bully stick every other week
after they have been good for a bath. The bully sticks also help scrub the
teeth. And 2-3 times a week they get a Large Greenie to help scrub the
teeth..these are given as treats to when I am getting ready to leave for
work. I know that this is alot...but bad teeth and gums lead to a
whole slew of other health issues due to the bacteria getting into the
blood stream and can cause heart, liver and kidney issues...take care of
their teeth and you are doing a lot to take care of the whole hound.
The majority of my teeth treatment is treats that are dual
purposed...Treats that help clean their teeth and treats that are for being
good dogs or treats to ease the pain of me going to work. The boys don't like to
have their teeth brushed but they tolerate it, and once it is done I tell them
how good they are and how beautiful their teeth are now that momma's brushing
them ohhh and throw in a good belly rub, ear or throat scratch too. LOL</DIV>

<DIV>I hope this helps.</DIV>
