PetLab Co. ProBright Dental Powder - Dog Breath Freshener - Teeth Cleaning Made Easy – Targets Tartar & Bad Breath - Formulated for Extra Small Dogs - Packaging May Vary

I started using this product because my 5 year old Chihuahua breath was horrible and smelled like feces. His back teeth had a hard crust type coating which the Vet wanted thousands of dollars and to anethasize him for the procedure. I started with a small amount mixed in his food and then increased it to the recommended dose. His breath cleared up within 2 months! The black crust is disapating slowly but has worked enough to Crack the shell and his whiter teeth are now visible. I now give all 5 of my dogs this powder and the Vet has agreed that his breath has improved and 1 side of his mouth cleared up. Will continue to use as this product is way cheaper than the dental work and my other 4 dogs teeth are plack free! It's definitely worth trying, give it at least a month and both you and your fur baby will be happy!

PROS: * Works. Full stop. CONS: * Price. Can be a bit pricey for the dosing instructions. Use: My dogs have had their teeth cleaned on the regular for years. At least once a year, but usually twice. Its expensive if you don't have a "health plan" (thankfully I do). But my doggies are getting old and one of them is now considered at risk of not waking up from the anesthesia required to clean their teeth. Even with regular cleaning, my doggies breath would become atrociously rancid to the point that directional breathing toward me would induce a vomiting reflex. I didn't of course, but it was that gnarly. We tried water additives. Various and myriad chew toys. Along with the cleanings, they did help and sometimes for stretches of time. But then it would always return. We do try and brush our dogs teeth, but it really seems stressful for them so we don't do it often especially on the lil old lady. Then we saw this product advertised everywhere. Read the ingredient list which seemed innocuous enough and decided to give it a go. Results? - Week 1 - a noticeable improvement. Walking around their breath wafts of death were less imminent death. - Week 2 - they could give me kisses or sleep/sit near by (within inches vs meters) and I couldn't smell but trace hints of death. - Week 3 - we did the lip lift to check the gums and we noticed less irritation and the tartar build up, though present, was clearly diminished. - Week 4 and beyond - we let out lil old lady sleep with us again, and the corgi well we can play fetch with him without worry of keeling over due to his bad breath. Though both never had difficulty with bowel movements, I can see a noticeable difference in color, size, and texture. For the lil old schnauzer, it's almost night and day: from dispersed deer pellet pooping pattern to a few contiguous logs. They both seem happier and healthier than they've been in a while - we had almost forgotten this facet of their personalities. Be a skeptic, it's okay. Buy the smallest one and try it out for two weeks, at a minimum. I would recommend this to anyone who has similar problems with their doggie breath (or other symptoms this product may improve).

I would have given 5 stars but we just got the products 2 days ago. I have high hopes for brighter smile product, but I know it will take some time. Our fur baby likes the allergy and immunity "treats" and shows no distaste for the Brighter Smile powder as well. I am pleased with both the Seller and how timely our order arrived as promised!

I used this product on my Chihuahua from the time she came home from a complete dental cleaning. Her teeth were perfect! My idea: have a baseline to see if this powder works as advertised. IT DOES NOT! When the Vet did her follow-up exam--after using this as directed for more than one year--she showed me caked-on tartar, gum issues and several extractions that are now needed. I told her about the powder to whit she said, "Don't waste your money. It DOES NOT WORK." Full stop. Save your money. You'd be better off with beads and rattles and doing a little dance. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Presumably after reading my one-star product review, PetLab contacted me saying: "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience regarding your order and would like to offer you a full refund for your purchase. If you would like a full refund: please reply 'Full refund'. Although I didn't ask for a refund, especially since I'd been using the powder for no less than one year, I thought I would take them up on their offer and replied, AS DIRECTED, "Full refund." Instead of providing that refund, I received a follow-up saying, "Would you mind answering the following questions," followed by NINE detailed questions I had no intention of answering. I replied that their "Full refund" offer was not conditional. If it were, they could have said, "If you would be so kind as to answer a few questions, we can review your answers and then provide you with a refund." To my complaint about their newfound conditional refund, they finally said, "As soon as I have this information, I will be able to proceed with the next steps, including issuing you a refund..." Since I hadn't initially asked for a refund, I will chalk this up to yet another bad experience. PetLab's business model CLEARLY depends on repeat business from loyal customers. That said, in the way they "faked me out" with a conditional refund offer, I can promise them this: they will NEVER hear from me again nor will they receive ANY business from me in the future.
