Is it OK for a dog to use this product in addition to toothbrushing and breath/plaque preventatives added to water?

I use it in addition to toothbrushing, but I use toothpaste instead of the products they provide.

I would think so. My dog loves orapup. She does it one min each day. Gets water additives too and I brush her teeth once a week. I totally rec orapup!

It's absolutely. It's no different than a human who uses a toothbrush, uses mouthwash and uses a tongue scraper. The Orapup just tackles the tongue bacteria in a different way. One more tool in our tool chest to help tame our dog's bad breath!

I used with water. I think it can use with water like liquid mouthwash for better result.

I don't seem to have this problem. I brush my dogs teeth every day. I have 2 labs. That's a lot of teeth. They think it's a treat to get their teeth brushed. You might want to put Saran wrap in lid when you close it. Kind of like you would for a good product. Hope this helps.

Yes it is "Enzymatic". The attached www will give you all the ingredients. If you require additional "specifics", you may have to contact the manufacture. The product works, only if you use it. I DE-plaque my cats mouth twice per day, also use the dental additive in her water fountain and also the dental wipes. We use a small child's SOFT brush and store it in a toothbrush sanitizer after each use. We also change her bush monthly, due to her wanting to chew the brush. Hope this helps you. http://www.1800petmeds.com/product.jsp?id=prod10593&sku=11054?AFFID=MS&ID=1082123976&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bingads&utm_content=bing_plas

Yes, but it's a bit of a waste. I mix a little water with the rinse. By doing so, it applies easier for me. According to direction the rinse may be left on the dog, but I have yet to try that. Love the scent!

No, this is a dog/cat toothpaste, because you cannot get a pet to "rinse and spit". This (or any decent pet toothpaste) is designed to be consumed by the pet, in reasonable quantities. They like the taste, so it's easier to teach them to enjoy getting their teeth brushed.

I have no idea. I once had a problem with my pet seal. It had horrible fish breath and refused to brush after lunch so I fed it breath mints.

I would say no because it does say harmful if swallowed. It does say it is safe for pets but I always use water over it after I have cleaned up the area. The ingredients are water, bio-enzymatic odor-lock, oxygen boosters, isopropyl alcohol, fragrance. It works very well. It also says that is safe for use around children and pets, when used as directed.

It's difficult to say. If you mean do they mean I don't have to do yearly dental prophase on my cats, no. But they are easy to use, do no harm and they do keep the water fountains cleaner so I extrapolate that into meaning it's keeping their mouth cleaner, too. As I was trained as a vet tech, I know that brushing is best, dental chews and dental diets next best and water additives after that. It only makes sense. But I do think the water additive helps the gingivitis. BUT, I did not care for the Oratene AT ALL, as explained in my review.

nor sure. My dog is picky because of his allergies. Some days he loves these some days he wants nothing to do with them. Cleaning his teeth does not enter into it

I have used this for years on several dogs, and have never experienced a bad breath problem. I wonder if your dog may have somehow licked the medicine? That's the only way I can think that may have affected his breath.

The label says that it addresses plaque and tartar which is generally the cause of gingivitis. If your dog has a bad case of gingivitis I would suggest that you see a vet to see if your dog needs to get its teeth professionally cleaned and then start on this product.

I'm sorry but I can't fully answer your question. This really is best asked of a veterinarian/technician on a case-by-case basis who is familiar with your dog's particular condition. I used this product under the direction of a veterinarian who wanted an anti-microbial shampoo for my dog in addition to oral antibiotics for a particular skin condition that has since resolved.

I have seen people use it as breath spray; but I am not sure of the effect it will have on a dog. I would check with your vet for breath solutions.

My dogs plaque is still there though lighter in color and her breath smells good. However, I probably only rub it on her teeth about twice a week. She doesn't let me actually brush her teeth.

Yes with plaque and tartar and yes with gums and gingivitis but you must brush your dog's teeth. Sounds crazy but I use the Phillips Sonic brush for my two Cocker Spaniels and they have good teeth and gum health.

On the jar where it's showing the dog, it says 8-1 D.D.S. Dental Care for Dogs. In the directions, it says "Gently wipe pet's teeth and gums with pad." so, one is saying one thing, the other indicates could be anything considered a pet. Sorry, don't feel confident answering that question. I would ask your vet.
