PetzLife Oral Spray

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Well, here's the follow-up on the dental spray I've tried on AJ.

    As with good food, it only works if you can get it into the dog. AJ hates the spray and runs from me when I get the bottle out. I'm not sure whether it's the burst or it's the peppermint flavor, but he absolutely loathes the stuff.

    I will say, though, that with the few times I've been able to get it onto his teeth, his breath has improved and his teeth are a little whiter. My verdict is this: I will give up torturing my dog with it, but if your dog tolerates it, it is effective.

    Cheers!

  • I have found the gel is easier to work with. I take a pea-sized amount on my index finger, and then wipe it on the roof of Kananga's mouth. It allows his tongue to coat his teeth.

    He doesn't love it or hate it, but it's quick and easy.

  • +1.

    I've heard a few people I know have trouble with the spray. I bought the gel originally and while the kids don't love it, they tolerate it just fine. I'll stick with the gel - I've used it successfully for almost a year now.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    @jenwilson: My basenji/whippet mix scratches alot too. I give her a children's benadryl (hidden in peanut butter) daily. It seems to help. She had an allergic reaction to something the Thursday before Christmas. We went to the vet on that Friday and got a steroid shot and pills. It rash cleared up overnight and hasn't returned. We still don't know what she is allergic too. The vet did suggest the benadryl and I would rather do that daily and hopefully not have to give her anymore steroids. Food allergy perhaps? We had that problem with one and it was anything with wheat flour in it. Little skin rashes or hot spots. I guess it could be any number of things.
