Petrodex does the trick for my two Chihuahuas. Even though their mouths are pretty small for me to get into and actually brush their teeth, I swear by the stuff. Why? Because even if you do what I do, the dogs get a daily dose of what I like to call "bacteria fighter" in their mouth. My dogs don't have bad breath, and their teeth don't look half bad either, considering that I don't actually get a whole lot of brushing accomplished. Still, here's what I do every morning, without fail: Put a small dab of petrodex (or bigger if you have a big doggie,)on their doggie toothbrush. Wet the tooth brush, and just let them lick the tooth paste off the toothbrush. They love the chicken flavor. Stand there a few minutes until the dog stops licking the toothbrush. With each lick, they are dousing their tongue with the "bacteria fighters." If they remain interested, sometimes I'll even do it twice. It's important to wet the toothbrush so you activate the enzymatic action. I don't like to put my Chihuahuas under anesthesia, so they've only had a professional cleaning once in their 10 years. So that says something for using this toothpaste regularly.Read full review

Number one ingredient is Sorbitol, a corn based sweetener, non-toxic but unnecessary. Should definitely not be the first ingredient in anything for dogs. Also contains chicken digest. Another questionable ingredient. The dogs like the taste but I don't want them swallowing that stuff. Should have read the ingredient list before buying. A lot of product for the price.

Our vet recommended this toothpaste because of its enzymatic action. The enzymes clean the teeth in addition to the actual brushing. Our dog loves this stuff. When my wife gets the tube and toothbrush out of the cabinet, he runs to the spot where the brushing occurs and sits. He love to lick the excess off the tube before the cap goes back on. He is 12 years old now and has no dental problems thanks to his once a week brushing with this toothpaste.

My dogs love it but don't like me brushing their teeth. However it's been two days and they are fighting less to allow me to brush their teeth. I use this product with Nylabone and dog dental treats. The dogs seem to love the taste. Between using the aforementioned products, my dogs have noticeable better breath and most of the hard deposits of tarter are removed. I'm happy with the product! Side Note: Be sure to give your dog a treat after every brushing. They will eventually understand that their is a reward to being cooperative during brushing.

My shelties brush their teeth daily with this toothpaste (with a little help adding it to their toothbrushes and then holding the toothbrushes). This keeps their breath fresh and their teeth healthy and white, reducing how often they need to have their teeth cleaned by their vet. It is a particularly good value in the larger 6.2 oz size.
