Pet King Brands ZYMOX Oratene Brushless Oral Gel for Dogs and Cats, 1oz

15歳のにゃんこちゃんです。 薬を使う程でもないほんの小さな歯肉炎が出来てしまったので、こちらで毎日歯磨きを始めました。 ジェルだけでもペロペロ舐めてくれます。 私も舐めましたが、ほんのり甘くて美味しいです。 透明なので、歯磨きの時もカスを落とすのに目視しやすくていいです。 シャカシャカ磨く→アウアウ文句言いながらペロペロ舐め取る の繰り返しで、一番奥の歯まで綺麗にさせてくれます。 これで毎日磨くと、すぐに口臭がほぼなくなりました。(うちの子の場合) ビルバックの歯磨きペースト(モルトフレーバー)も試しましたが、個人的には乳白色のものよりも透明ジェルのこちらの方が磨きやすいので、こちらばかりを使っています。 味もこちらの方が好きみたいです。 半分程使いましたが、子猫たちも歯が生え変わり始め歯磨きデビューし沢山使用するので、なくなったらこちらのジェルをまたリピートします。 病院で先生に歯石をガリガリ取ってもらったので(大人しいので麻酔などせずそのまま抑えて)、こちらを使って歯石がポロッと取れるという事はありませんが、取りきれず残った歯石も少しずつ小さくなってきています。 にゃんこの歯肉炎は中々治るものではないけど、これから先のどんな時も美味しくご飯がちゃんと食べられるように、こちらのジェルで口内環境をずっと清潔にしてあげたいと思います。 ちなみに歯ブラシは、ビルバックのデンタルブラシミニを使っています。 うちはお膝に抱っこして向かい合って磨くスタイルなので、奥歯まで届きやすい形状のこの歯ブラシは持ちやすくて助かります。 親指と人差し指で力を入れずに軽く持ってシャカシャカ磨けます。(普通の歯ブラシタイプだと、ついつい力んで可愛い歯茎を傷付けてしまう恐れが…) とにかくにゃんこの歯磨きは時間との勝負ですから、ほんの少しのチャンスにちゃんと一番奥まですぐ届く形状が有難いです。

Very good product. My dog has gingival hyperplasia and it gives him relief. A little goes a long way. I use a silicone finger toothbrush to apply and it reaches his whole gum area. Highly recommended

Love this gel! I bought it a couple of months ago but was afraid to use it consistently on my elderly cat. I just didn't want to stress her out or bog down her kidneys. If you have an elderly pet you understand. She's very independent so any effort to assist her in her daily care is a huge battle. However, I noticed she's been eating tenderly and her breath is RANK, and I was worrying about periodontal disease and about stressing her by taking her to the vet at her age, so I took the dive. I've been giving her this gel consistently, once a day for about a week, and already I can see a difference in how she handles the food in her mouth, and I also notice she eats more frequently and doesn't shy away from food as much. I also noticed she's gaining a bit of weight and is even more energetic. Her rank breath smells less like something rotting, and more like fish now. The fish breath isn't pleasant, but it's a HUGE improvement. I am so happy! I know it's having a good effect from her mouth all the way to her insides. She's petite (about 6lbs and small frame) so I use about 1/3rd dose as what is recommended and she is doing really well with it. I don't know how it tastes, but I know my cat doesn't like it. Fortunately it's applied to the gums just under the lips and not on the tongue, so she doesn't fly into a rage over the flavor immediately. The gel is clear and smells like a dental office, or like a brand new shirt you bought at a department store before you wash it. Also, because of being primarily right handed, I often accidentally apply slightly more on one side of her mouth than the other, and the side with the greater application seems to be developing whiter teeth. It's a slight difference so I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I am PRETTY sure her teeth had been a little darker on that side before using the gel. If you have any struggles brushing your pet's teeth or are concerned about tartar/dental issues, I 100% recommend this product. It should definitely be one of the things you try along the way to help your cat live a better life. Pros -It seems to whiten teeth/remove tartar -the smell isn't unbearable -the tube tip is narrowed so with larger animals I think you could probably insert the tube tip directly under the lip along the gumline to apply. (wouldn't work for smaller animals) -reasonable price -a little goes a long way -doesn't seem to overload the system or kidneys of an elderly cat (assuming the dosage is reduced) Cons -cats don't like the flavor (it might be more the gummy consistency they don't like, hard to tell) -packaging gives one blanket dosage on the back, which I think is geared toward dogs. Have to play around with the dosage for smaller animals and hope it's right. -For small cats, you have to apply the gel with your finger so as not to poke their gums.

Good product 👍

I have three cats. In fear of getting gingivitis, I started this gel. Two of my cats had their gum reddish a little bit so I didn't want to risk it. I googled a lot before buying this and explored lots of other option and I am happy I bought this. Much easier than brushing and cats don't mind the taste either. Sometimes I use finger to out it on their gum, sometimes I use the tube itself depending in their mood and resistance. I apply this gel twice a week just as a precaution. * I use finger wipes as well simultaneously with this gel.
