My senior dog, a Chihuahua mix, went in for a dental cleaning and scaling two weeks ago but the vet couldn’t do it because his blood work determined he could not safely go under anaesthesia due to high liver enzymes. I still wanted his mouth to be more comfortable and brushing wasn’t working. I figured I would try this device because the reviews were really good. I read all directions ahead of use. Once I got started it was so easy. At first my dog didn’t like the sound of the cleaner but once he realized it wasn’t hurting him at all, he just laid there and let me go to work. I held the cleaner on the tooth near the gum line and the tartar just peeled off . After it was off, I then ran the device over the tooth to remove the remaining stains and plaque. His teeth are amazing now. He has one tooth I could not clean because it needs to be pulled since it is broken at the gum line. It’s a back molar but at this point doesn’t bother him. Once his blood work stabilises we will take him in to have it professionally removed. This device is worth every penny! It only works by sound not vibration and it stops when it contacts soft tissue. It will only work on hard surfaces like teeth. The directions say you can even use on your own teeth if your dog hates it. I sanitized the cleaning heads with hydrogen peroxide and alcohol afterward but won’t be using this for myself. It comes with several different cleaning heads, a really nice dental mirror and scrapers. Read more
I wasn’t sure about this product but other reviews were great so I thought I would give it a try! Packaged well, quality of instruments is excellent, device came pre-charged and has 5 modes from soft to extra strong. There are also extra tips and a wrench included for changing them. Charging cord included but no plug. My 6 year old Cavalier has done well with teeth brushing as well as loves chewing on her bully sticks. She has cleanings every 6 months (no anesthesia) but some of her teeth I the back of her mouth started really looking brown and I noticed her gums being inflamed. This is why I thought to give this a try as I am not wanting to put her under anesthesia. I did try on my own tooth so I knew what she would be experiencing. A slight screeching noise on contact though no pain. I am so impressed at how quickly this tool worked to remove the built up tarter. It was so satisfying to see larges pieces of tarter just coming off with ease. Start on soft as you may not need to go stronger. The molar teeth were her worst and I put it on “normal” mode, these teeth took a few minutes each but was surprised to see white teeth under all that brown yellow gunk. 100% would recommend, my girl eventually laid down while I was using it, so no distress or anxiety. Very easy, the instruments were also helpful for a bit of scraping that was needed. A bite block of some sort would be something I wish they included so it made keeping their jaw open without having to bite down on a finger when their jaw is tired or they decide they don’t like it. Great tool that will definitely help keep teeth in top quality and keeping them for undergoing anesthesia as well as saving you money on veterinary dentals. I have not discussed this purchase with a veterinarian for a professional opinion, so this is based off my personal opinion on first use. I was too excited to try it I forgot before and afters but she is smiling sparkling white teeth now! I also followed this with a brushing for a thorough job. We are happy customers. Read more
My pup, Kratos, had thick plaque on his teeth and I was skeptical this would be as good as a dentist cleaning. My dog is a pittie mix and he's very fearful of anything that makes a loud noise. Let me just tell you... OMFG I GOT MY DOGS TEETH CLEANED TO PERFECTION AS IF HE WALKED STRAIGHT OUT THE DENTIST'S OFFICE. Package came in one piece. No initial damage at all. The safety feature works very very well. Tested on a hard surface, it worked fine. I put the tool on my soft skin, and BAM! It does NOT work in any way whatsoever. And this thing is SO DAMN QUIET. My phone vibrated louder than this tool. Now fair warning: it took me about 40 to 45 minutes to clean ALL his teeth, including back ones and on the innermost of his teeth. My dog laid on his back lounging while I chipped at the plaque. Didn't even react to the high-pitched whining. If it doesn't sound like it's on (even on highest setting), DO NOT BE FOOLED! The highest setting made his plaque chip off immediately. Just takes patience. My dog didn't even panic when the tool touched his gums and turned off. He was completely relaxed. So the safety feature is PHENOMENAL. I worked on his teeth 10 minutes at a time with 4 little breaks in between. So altogether took me an hour to get ALL his teeth cleaned. The small attachment set it comes with is very useful for really getting the plaque in the hard-to-reach areas like the inner side of his teeth. I was so blown away I had to take a Pic with my phone. My bf was skeptical about the safety of it (he worked at a dog rescue for 7 years with dogs that needed significant dental care) but he was very impressed that it did such a great job. And my dog's breath got significantly better once I got the plaque removed. Perfect 10/10 👍👏👌 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS IF UR ON A TIGHT BUDGET. If ur worried that u cannot take ur furbaby to the vet, BUY THIS NOW! This tool is a godsend. This can also be used in between dentist visits to make short work of dental checkups in the long run. P.S. I should've taken some "before" pics but I forgot :-/ PRODUCT UPDATE! I worked on my dog's plaque again after a month and only had to have device on 2 or 3 setting. The plaque nearly peeled off his teeth, barely had to apply any pressure or scrape away. Best dog dental tool I've ever bought! $$ Read more
Oh my gosh, it’s working! My dog is VERY skittish, and I’m able to work on only a couple of teeth at a time, but I’ve only had it a couple of days. I was able to effortlessly remove a chunk of calcified tartar from a molar that hasn’t budged for months with a regular dental tool. Color me impressed. Hopefully my pup will fight it less as he gets used to it. Read more
