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.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....
