Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste for Cats & Dogs - Only VOHC Accepted Toothpaste - Clinically Proven to Control Plaque & Tartar Calprox Formula (Rotisserie Chicken, 2.5 Oz)

My vet recommended this toothpaste as it is VOHC approved. It has been effective in keeping tartar at bay. I brush my pups' teeth daily. I put a little on my finger and thumb and rub it on their teeth and gums. The doctor even suggested putting some on their chew toys for added effectiveness. So far, we have seen no intestinal issues (vomit or loose stools). Sophia, Maiya, and Lexi think it's a treat. They obviously like the flavor. AND it freshens their breath! Doggy kisses are pleasant! Highly recommend!

I haven’t used this long enough to know if it works, but it’s a lot easier than other toothpastes to apply to my cat’s teeth for two reasons: it’s thick, and it smells like nothing. One of my cats loves toothpaste from other brands. He will be so enthusiastic about trying to eat it that I can’t get any on his teeth. This one he tolerates but doesn’t register it as a treat, so he’s extremely disappointed when I use it but this allows me to actually brush his teeth at all. My other cat hates all toothpaste including this one, but it seems to be neutral enough that she lets me put it on her teeth without foaming at the mouth in disgust, so again it actually makes it onto her teeth and stays there for more than a second. The consistency seems to help the paste stay intact until it’s applied, rather than soaking into the toothbrush bristles like others I’ve tried. Anyway, the best cat toothpaste is the one you can actually use, so this is great for me.

My dog seems to be ok with the taste. This is my second order. I needed the larger size, but out of stock

Petsmile is the preferred toothpaste for my goldendoodle’s dental routine – not that my goldendoodle has a refined understanding of dental products. It’s VOHC approved, which gives me confidence that it’s actually doing something beyond tasting good. I do switch between this and a few others occasionally, just to keep things interesting. Brushing is easy, there’s no resistance, her teeth appear clean and well-maintained.

Brushing a dog's teeth is never fun but this toothpaste at least makes it tolerable for them. Both of my dogs seem to like the flavor, and the vet says their teeth look clean after using this for a year.

Ok I never leave reviews on any product. But I felt the need to leave one on this product. I have 5 dacshunds and I do clean their teeth with dental tools. But I find if I use this product I don’t have to clean with tools nearly do often. I’m an old vet tech and have never seen a product like this one and believe me thru the years o have used them all. My dogs teeth are pearly white do to this product. I will never buy another tooth paste. This is the one for us.

Works well my dog prefers a different brand but this one worked well as a replacement. Easy to use. Didn’t last long smaller size. Not messy easy to brush my dogs teeth

This is for the rotisserie chicken flavor (supposedly). First off, the price seems excessive, but I figured that the product volume vs no. of uses would be worth it. I peeled off the foil seal and let my cat sniff and taste a bit off his nose. He sniffed it, licked a bit once from the foil, shook his head, and quickly left. Unfortunately, opened products can't be returned, so it will just go to waste and go in the garbage eventually. I feel bad wasting both the product and my money. With his reaction, I gave it a smell (no taste test obv), and it smelled like NOTHING. I have a very sensitive nose and I couldn't detect ANY odor from it. I'm not positive that it even is flavored. I also think that making a vegan "meat flavored" product for carnivores and omnivores is ridiculous. If you don't want to consume animal products, personally, that's your choice as a human, but your pets are different. What the heck did they flavor it with instead of animal products? What odorless chemical? Why does it have no smell? I will generously give it 3 stars b/c I couldn't actually try it on my cat to judge the effectiveness. I think it would make sense to sell smaller trial tubes, and perhaps a set of minis of all the flavors, because you never know how your pet will react to the product or if a different flavor would be more appealing to them. Plus, it cuts down on wasted product due to rejected/unappealing flavor choices, etc. Conclusion: Ingredients sound good, but my cat rejected the odorless artificial meat flavor and the product is now useless to me. I won't give it a one star just because we couldn't use it, though.
