Some of my friends told me today was Brush Your Teeth Day...a perfect way to wrap up the final week of Pet Dental Health Month. Luckily, my friends at Petco have superb timing and sent me a KissAble Dog Toothbrush and Toothpaste, along with some other great dog dental health products.
KissAble Toothbrush and Toothpaste
The unique design of the KissAble dog toothbrush makes it easy to clean all three sides of a tooth with one stroke. The soft bristles massage the gums while the firmer bristles clean the teeth. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but the KissAble toothbrush is shaped like a wide "V" with the bristles pointing inward toward the tooth.
The KissAble toothbrush comes with an all natural, Vanilla flavored toothpaste. It is formulated to be safe for dogs (and their people!). The toothpaste contains Tea Tree Oil which helps fight plaque and a mild abrasive to clean the teeth.
Ma tried to get photos of her brushing my teeth but unfortunately, I was being stubborn. I will say, even though I am not a huge fan of having my teeth brushed, I did like the toothpaste so I didn't mind the brushing all that much.
Key Ingredients
Tetrasodium & Tetrapotassium Phosphate (reduce tartar build up), Kaolin (polishes teeth), Tea Tree Oil (antiseptic and antifungal properties plus freshens breath), and Stevia and Vanilla (natural sweeteners for a great taste without raising a dog's glycemic index)
Petco also sent me some other great products including Dog Dental Chews from Natural Balance and several TropiClean products. I have heard from other friends how great the TropiClean products were so I could not wait to try those!
Natural Balance has formulated their dental chews to satisfy a dog's chewing instinct and to help support healthy teeth and gums. The unique grooves along the chew help remove plaque and tartar build up from the teeth.
Ingredients - vary with each different flavor. You can see all the different flavors and ingredients of Natural Balance Dog Dental Chews on the Petco site.
TropiClean Fresh Breath Oral Care Water Additive for Dogs
This Oral Care Water Additive is a simple and easy way to maintain a dog's dental health, especially if they do not like having their teeth brushed. TropiClean Fresh Breath Water Additive is naturally formulated to freshen breath and prevent plaque and tartar build up. Simply add 1 teaspoonful to your dog's water bowl every time you refill it.
Ma added the TropiClean Fresh Breath to my water and I didn't even notice. It hasn't been long enough to see how well it works, but we will keep you posted.
Ingredients
Purified Water, Citric Acid, Cetylpyridinium Chloride, Chlorophyllin, Glycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Green Tea Leaf Extract
TropiClean Fresh Breath Clean Teeth Gel for Dogs
TropiClean Clean Teeth Gel is another easy way to help fight gingivitis as well as plaque and tartar build up on your dog's teeth. Simply apply the gel to any teeth you start to see plaque and/or tartar building up. It is preferable to apply the gel in the evening and to withhold food and water for 30 minutes so the gel can have the best effect.
Ma hasn't tried this product on me yet but she said she is going to as she saw some plaque on two of my back teeth. Yikes! She really hopes it will work like it says it does.
Ingredients
Purified Water, Natural Derived Alcohol, Natural Mint, Glycerin, Natural Cleanser, Carbopol, Chlorophyllin, Green Tea Leaf Extract
TropiClean Fresh Breath +Plus Dental Chews for Dogs
These dental chews feature a unique design that uses the mechanical chewing action to simulate brushing your dog's teeth. They help reduce plaque and tartar build up using ingredients like flaxseed as an abrasive and baking soda and parsley as a breath freshener.
I am always up for trying a new dental chew and the TropiClean Fresh Breath +Plus Dental Chews were no exception. They provide a good, long chew which helps to better clean your teeth.
Ingredients
Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch, Glycerin, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Chicken Flavor, Cane Molasses, Chicken, Gelatin, Ground Flaxseed, Water, Poultry Fat, Sodium Bicarbonate, Lecithin, Flaxseed, Parsley Flakes, Green Tea Extract, Sorbic Acid (preservative), Blueberry Powder, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Proteinate, Rosemary Extract.
A big thank you to Petco for sending me all these Dental Health Products. What a great way to end Pet Dental Health Month! But I still have one more thing to tell you about...
Petco believes so much that good dental health leads to good overall health in pets that they want one (1) Oz the Terrier reader to be able to get the dog dental health treats of their choice...plus a whole bunch more! They are letting me giveaway one (1) $100 gift card to a lucky reader - must be U.S. resident, 18 years of age +. Giveaway ends Friday, March 6, 2015.
Post Disclaimer: I received a gift box from Petco that included all the above-mentioned dog dental health products for free to help spread awareness for Pet Dental Health Month but Oz the Terrier only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. I received no other compensation and Petco is not responsible for the content of this article.
