Dental Fresh Advanced Plaque and Tartar Water Additive, 17oz – Dog Teeth Cleaning Formula to Freshen Breath and Improve Cat & Dog Dental Care

Dental Fresh Plaque & Tartar Control Water Additive is an easy and effective way to support better oral health for both dogs and cats. Adding it to the water bowl is effortless, making daily dental care simple—especially for pets that resist brushing. The advanced formula helps reduce plaque buildup while keeping breath noticeably fresher, and it doesn’t have a strong smell or taste that pets turn away from. Over time, teeth look cleaner and gums appear healthier, making this a great addition to a regular pet care routine. It’s a convenient, low-stress solution that delivers real results.

Okay so this is the 3rd bottle I’ve ordered. I have 2 dogs one large one small. My smaller dog. Jack. Had plaque build up pretty good. He’s never liked the teeth brushing so I figured I try this. This stuff by the second bottle has dissolved the hard plaque on this dogs teeth. After the first week The breath was noticeably gone on my Pittie and significantly reduced one Jack. Their Teeth are looking cleaner and cleaner daily. If they weren’t so figidity I’d get a pic of their teeth I’ll try to add one if I can. But this stuff is good and the price point is great. It doesn’t upset their stomachs either. And I have a large Pittie who’s very sensitive with his belly. It’s works great. It’s super easy to store as well no larger than our mouth wash bottles. And it has a measuring cap as well.

I have been using this product for many years because of how well it freshens dog breath and keeps plaque and tartar under control. Relatively recently, they switched the bottles to have a new cap that includes a 5ml (1tsp) measurement on the top of the cap (the dosage for water is 1tsp of product per cup of water). For those of us who have large water bowls (e.g., dog owners with 4–7 cups of water in a bowl), this has made prepping the water more of a headache. In the past, the inside of the cap could fit ~2+ tablespoons of product in it, and so you could measure how much product you needed *once* and fill the inside of the cap with it and use some feature of the cap to estimate that quantity in future refills. However, the inside of this new cap is much smaller, which makes the old way impossible. Others in my family also use this product for their dogs, and they share this frustration with the new bottle. Fortunately, the inside of the new cap appears to be nearly exactly 1 tbsp (3 tsp/15 ml). I have water bowls that require ~7 tsp of product, and so having 1 tbsp on the inside of the cap makes it much more practical to use the cap for measurement. Still, in the old bottle, I could just partially fill the inside of the cap once and be done, which was better than the current situation. It seems like a minor thing, but if you have to refill multiple water bowls at least once a day, then the annoyance adds up. I really hope they get rid of this new bottle with the red cap. The old bottle may not have looked as modern, but the cap was actually useful. The ineffectiveness of the new cap is the reason I'm giving 4/5 stars. Otherwise, the actual product is great. Our veterinarian is very happy with our dog's teeth, which have never needed a professional cleaning in the 5+ years of our pet's life. Our pet also gets Plaque Off powder in his food, and we give him enzymatic dental chews; however, if we don't also give him the Dental Fresh in his water, his breath will eventually pick up an odor. The Dental Fresh seems to ensure he has fresh breath, and I get the impression that it softens the plaque/tartar and makes it easier for other processes to sweep it off. There are competing products (e.g., from Arm and Hammer), which we've tried that seemed much thicker/slimier and were more visible in the water. Our dog was OK with drinking that water, but we weren't comfortable with how it mixed (or seemed not to mix). In reviews of those other products, we saw people talking about dogs gagging on their water. We never have seen that issue with our dog (using any products), but we felt like this product mixed better and was giving us good results, and so we stuck with it instead of switching to any of those alternatives. Given how long this product lasts, we've been happy with the value too. We just wish the industrial designers who came up with the new bottle would have considered dog owners who give their pups more than a cup of water. Measurement of this product used to be so easy with the large volume of the inside of the old cap. Now it feels more like baking every day. Just remember that the inside of the cap is 1 tbsp (and ignore the useless 1 tsp cup on the outside of the cap).

WORKS! Im not good at brushing my pups teeth. I’ve noticed med/dark tarter, got this 1 week ago, 2 days ago noticed the darker tarter MUCH LIGHTER. My pup is almost 8 yrs old. Also noticed her nest isn’t nearly as stanky :)

I received this on August 18th, and started using it right away. The suggested dosage is a teaspoon in 8oz of water. My dog is small, weighing 10 lbs so I felt a little less would be better to start out with. I used it once a day, for about one month and slowly started to see a behavioral change in the way my pup normally would act each morning during feeding time. He always would do a happy dance- spinning in circles, tail wagging, showing excitement and would start eating immediately once his bowl was put down. But, this slowly changed where his interest faded, and he wouldn’t even eat right away. He’d lay down across from his food bowl, uninterested and would need to be coaxed to start eating. He would eventually start, then stop, walk away and lay down again. There was no excitement and no typical happy dance. He would eventually eat and usually finish his food but this was concerning. The rest of his behavior seemed normal and unchanged. He wasn’t vomiting or showing signs of intestinal discomfort. So, I decided to stop using it and see if he returned to his normal eating routine. It’s been almost one week since I stopped using it and just today he did his happy dance again and began eating right away. I write this review to bring awareness to others to pay close attention to their dogs behavior. The product seemed to work good though. His breath was noticeably fresh, but the changes in behavior do not outweigh that fact for me. I’m going to continue to omit it from his water for a while longer and maybe add it back in only once a week. If I notice changes once again from just using it once a week… I will update this review to include what happens. Be careful. Watch your pups closely.

IT WORKS !! IT WORKS INSTANTLY TOO. Make sure to read the instructions and measure correctly. I love that the cap has measurement on it, that is so helpful and thoughtful. Finally, my dog’s breath doesn’t smell like an aquarium !! THANK YOU.

My vet wanted me to bring my dog in for dental cleaning. He had pale gums and dirty teeth. I started using this product and it healed his gums, freshened his breath and plaque is almost gone!!!

This stuff works great! I have a 4 y.o. Dexter dog and a 4 y.o. Pretty Girl cat. I use a little of this daily in their water dishes. They drink it no problem and not only do their teeth look better, the dog's breath is never smelly!
