Vet One ChloraZinc Rinse (8 oz)

My toy poodle had terrible breath from built-up plaque. I bought this, and after one use, her breath was significantly better. I use this once a week to maintain her dental health, along with brushing with enzymatic toothpaste. This is very effective at cutting down plaque and the bacteria that cause that terrible breath. Her teeth look much healthier as well.

The Cocker Spaniel not only tolerates it but likes it too! I’ve been using it for just over a week and all ready his gums are no longer red and bleeding. I will continue his daily irrigation treatment and fully expect additional improvement.

I used another Chlorhexadine rinse on my dog previously and she hated it. She would try to get away and or turn her head to avoid it. I decided to try this. She did not like it, but at least she didn’t fight me as much. The problem was, it is sticky. It would get in her fur and harden. She apparently would drool some of it out a bit later.(She isn’t a drooler.) I would find hard spots on the floor. This product would probably be fine for dogs with short hair and if you check a little later for drool. The straw is very nice. It turned out that my dog had an infection and had to have a few small teeth removed. I did not use it long enough to speak to its effectiveness, but I really have no doubt that it is as good as any good chorhexadine rinse.

Love this product, it was recommended by our vet and has shown to help reduce plaque build up, and my dog loves the taste.

I really like this mouthwash for my dog. She loves me to spray it into her mouth along the gums and the teeth after I brush her teeth. I think it really helps in keeping the tartar down.

I do not recommend this for cats. The seller concealed the presence of an ORANGE flavor in the product description. Everywhere it is described only as having a “pleasant” taste, and no photo of the ingredients is provided. I was shocked when I opened the bottle and smelled a strong orange aroma. Yes, it smells pleasant — but not for cats, who cannot tolerate citrus scents. I decided to apply a drop to the inside of my lip to check how intense the taste was. Guys, it made me gag. Incredibly bitter, chemically orange, oily substance. Absolutely disgusting. Of course, I did not give this to my cat. I requested a refund. It is very disappointing that the seller hides accurate information about the product’s composition. But! Thank you for the opportunity to return the product and receive a refund.

The extended nozzle is terrific, once it is setup properly (no directions included). Basically, it comes with a loose straight tube that needs to be connected to the stub of the angled piece that protrudes from the bottom of the cap... insert the flat-cut piece into the nub, and leave the angled cut at the bottom, to go into the bottle. Also, the very tip of the nozzle needs to be snipped off. There was a tiny pin-hole in it, but it was not wide enough to get a nice stream out of the nozzle. It doesn't need to be cut back much at all ... I wanted a very narrow stream, so I just nipped a little bit from the tip. Once set-up properly, one can squeeze the bottle and the medicine squirts out in a nice stream - squeeze gently, and it flows gently, squeeze firmly and it squirts out with authority where aimed. One does not have to invert the bottle - it is not gravity fed ... it can be vertical, or tilted for convenience and a little squeeze will make it squirt! My kitty tolerates the taste well. It seems a little thicker (more viscous) and more sticky than another brand I used, and perhaps this will help it cling to the inflamed gum line a bit better (?). It is .13% instead of the .12% of my pervious brand, too. But, for me, the biggest advantage is the "added value" of the squeeze nozzle - it makes administration much easier. Plus, when it's gone, I can fill the bottle with denatured alcohol for small clean-up jobs around the house! Finally, the product itself is alcohol-free, which is always good ... other similar products contain alcohol.

Thought this would be a great product for my dog with terrible teeth and who can't stand a toothbrush. Thought it would be a quick delicious addition to our dental care routine, but he hates this more than toothpaste on my finger or a dental wipe. He freaks out so much that if I try to go fast and squirt, I risk getting it everywhere or poking him in the eye... My German Shepard that likes his teeth being brushed is not a fan of this, but I can use it on him. And then my pom (who lets me brush his teeth just fine as well) will let me use this on him. I'm not sure how he feels about the taste. He just looks terrified when I use it on him, but he looks like that often if I'm in his face or grooming him...
