Pet King BrandsZYMOX Oratene Brushless Oral Gel for Dogs and Cats, 1oz

I must say I am pleasantly surprised by this product. I bought it because I was told by my vet that my sick elderly cat was currently too sick to have a dental cleaning done but that she had what appeared to be resorption lesions on her back teeth. I bought this to try and make sure she had no pain until she was well enough to be put under anesthesia to have the dental work done. After using twice a day for just a few days I felt a bit of sharpness when applying it at the gumline today. After taking a look in her mouth I was able to see where the tooth meets the gum and there is actually tarter covering the tooth but melting away from the gumline. I had read reviews that people were saying it was removing the plaque and tarter from their pet's teeth. I did not even realize my cat had such bad tarter build-up, she just had a cleaning and polishing less than 2 years ago and only eats dry kibble. The vet was not able to take a really good look because cats do not care to sit and hold their mouth open for a good look. I am glad she was mistaken because it prompted me to purchase this product. I am fairly certain if it can remove tarter it should also help prevent it from even forming after it is gone as well as keep the mouth healthy by preventing bacteria. The best aspect of this gel is that you do not have to brush, just simply slide your finger into the side of your pets mouth and gently run your finger across the gum line. I do one side in the morning and the other side at night. I have only been focusing on the top teeth but will start switching it up to get the bottom teeth/gums. The product says use 5-7 days, I am not sure if I can use it longer as a maintenance; I will most likely contact the company to ask or just switch to the brushless toothpaste and hope it works just as well. I had considered the water additive they make to avoid even having to mess with her mouth at all but I use a filtered water fountain and I believe it would just filter out the enzymes. It is nice to find a product that actually works without harsh chemicals.

My cat had a gum infection last week. I used this toothpaste after rinsing his teeth, and I can tell my cat feels much better now. His gums have turned pink instead of red now, I will use another daily toothpaste to keep his gum clean and healthy.

My dog actually likes the taste (or maybe there isn't a taste?) Of this enzyme gel. My old lady has stinky chihuahua breath and as part of her brushing routine it improves it noticeably. Even used alone we smelled improvement after 3 days use.

My dad and stepmom took in my one cat who has a mouth virus. He drools a lot, his breath stinks and his gums can become painful when he has an outbreak. This is much easier to use and apply then anything the vet has sent them home with and she can actually get it on his gums. It seems to coat them better she said.It seems to help so as long as he needs it, I will continue to get it for him.

Love this gel!I bought it a couple of months ago but was afraid to use it consistently on my elderly cat. I just didn't want to stress her out or bog down her kidneys. If you have an elderly pet you understand. She's very independent so any effort to assist her in her daily care is a huge battle. However, I noticed she's been eating tenderly and her breath is RANK, and I was worrying about periodontal disease and about stressing her by taking her to the vet at her age, so I took the dive. I've been giving her this gel consistently, once a day for about a week, and already I can see a difference in how she handles the food in her mouth, and I also notice she eats more frequently and doesn't shy away from food as much. I also noticed she's gaining a bit of weight and is even more energetic. Her rank breath smells less like something rotting, and more like fish now. The fish breath isn't pleasant, but it's a HUGE improvement. I am so happy! I know it's having a good effect from her mouth all the way to her insides.She's petite (about 6lbs and small frame) so I use about 1/3rd dose as what is recommended and she is doing really well with it. I don't know how it tastes, but I know my cat doesn't like it. Fortunately it's applied to the gums just under the lips and not on the tongue, so she doesn't fly into a rage over the flavor immediately. The gel is clear and smells like a dental office, or like a brand new shirt you bought at a department store before you wash it. Also, because of being primarily right handed, I often accidentally apply slightly more on one side of her mouth than the other, and the side with the greater application seems to be developing whiter teeth. It's a slight difference so I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I am PRETTY sure her teeth had been a little darker on that side before using the gel. If you have any struggles brushing your pet's teeth or are concerned about tartar/dental issues, I 100% recommend this product. It should definitely be one of the things you try along the way to help your cat live a better life.Pros -It seems to whiten teeth/remove tartar-the smell isn't unbearable-the tube tip is narrowed so with larger animals I think you could probably insert the tube tip directly under the lip along the gumline to apply. (wouldn't work for smaller animals)-reasonable price-a little goes a long way-doesn't seem to overload the system or kidneys of an elderly cat (assuming the dosage is reduced)Cons -cats don't like the flavor (it might be more the gummy consistency they don't like, hard to tell)-packaging gives one blanket dosage on the back, which I think is geared toward dogs. Have to play around with the dosage for smaller animals and hope it's right.-For small cats, you have to apply the gel with your finger so as not to poke their gums.

One of the better products I have bought, but the price is way too high! Wish the price gouging would come to an end

Seemed to work well for my fur babies mouthpain
