Still can't believe the incredible results!
I don't know if this magical stuff is made from the tears of unicorns or what, but if that's the case--well, sorry Mr. Unicorn, but my dog's teeth have never looked so amazing. Now, dachshunds often have awful teeth due to their elongated snout. It’s impossible to keep them clean and healthy, especially the crowded upper and lower incisors. My pup has had more tooth problems than any dachshund I've had. I've tried brushing, Arm & Hammer dental foam, water additives and Greenies but nothing has really made much of a difference. His Banfield Vet plan includes an annual dental cleaning, and every year the vet has to jackhammer the tartar off his teeth. He's only six years old, and yet he's already had to have three of his upper incisors pulled because of tooth decay. Although I know it's necessary for his health, I've absolutely dreaded taking him to his annual dental cleanings because the anesthesia leaves him nauseous afterwards. Plus, general anesthesia always carries a degree of risk, so I’d prefer that he avoid it where possible.
I bought this gel a month ago. Within two weeks, most of the tartar was simply gone. My dog had one of his wellness checkups this afternoon. Normally by this time, his teeth are so awful that the vet recommends that I pay for a second cleaning out-of-pocket. Today, though, she checked his teeth and asked what I’d been doing differently. I told her about the product, and she had her assistant google it and print out the product information so she could research it.
Then came the best part: She told me that I should DROP the more expensive dental plan when it came up for renewal six months from now. She said she'd never seen a dachshund's teeth in such excellent condition before; if I was getting the same results in six months, there was no reason to put my dog under general anesthesia for a dental cleaning he wouldn't need. I asked her to please let me know if she researched the gel and found that it’s active ingredient turned out to be, like, sulfuric acid or something. She assured me that she would call immediately if she found that it contained anything harmful (and I'll be sure to update this review if that happens).
Thank you to everyone else who took the time to review before me. Without those reviews, I’m not sure I would’ve tried the product myself. Given my results, it would it would’ve been inexcusable for me not to share my experience with other pet owners. I wish I had some "before" pictures of my dog's teeth, but I wasn't really expecting such amazing results. But here are his teeth six months post-cleaning after using the gel for one month. I can't believe that more vets and pet stores aren't aware of this stuff.
