I learned how important dogs teeth are when I had to spend 4000 dollars to have 14 of my dogs teeth removed by a certified dental specialist. ouch Our Airedale suddenly became quiet and slept a lot and was not his usual self. One day I smelled really bad poopy breath coming from his mouth so we took him in to see the Vet. Our regular Vet saw the problem but was not able to do the work because it required specialized dentistry. he had so much tartar that he developed plus he had sticky burrs embedded in his gums to where he was pulling them out himself prior to us brushing him down for walks. Once he had those teeth out he became our healthy happy boy again. Even though we brush our dogs teeth they have those back molars that we're not able to get to unless we peel their mouth all the way back so that's when we decided to get proactive to do this area ourselves since it seems to be the overlooked teeth. Now we have an 18 month old Scottish terrier in addition to our other dogs and we ordered this tool to keep up with that area. Low and behold he already had tartar growing back there so I layed him down put my hand on his head talked to him very quietly and peeled his gums to expose his very last teeth and started scraping. I start at the very top of the tooth without touching his gums and I scrape slowly and carefully in the downward direction and his bottom back molars the same way but in the opposite direction. I do this every month when they get their baths.

I have two mini dachshunds with awful breath. They had their teeth professionally cleaned (and some fully extracted) a few years ago, but the cost is prohibitively expensive for me. Brushing their teeth didn't seem to help (and I certainly didn't do it as often as I should have). The one time their breath wasn't foul was for a few months following that removal of all the yucky plaque. I came across a thread on reddit recommending a tool like this - and oh my god it's incredible. I've been working a few teeth at a time so they forgive me enough to continue, and just giant chunks of smelly plaque fall right off. It's easy enough to work with, and as long as your dogs trust you messing around with their teeth, it's essentially miraculous. I hope to some day be in a financial position where I can take them for a professional cleaning, but in the mean time this is a life saver.

We have an almost 8 year old golden retriever that has pretty decent teeth for a dog her age. In an effort to avoid having to get her teeth cleaned at the vet I knew that I needed to do more so I found this to help remove all that gross plague from her teeth. This is so easy to use and works great. Her teeth are looking fabulous and now I don't have to worry about a decision to put her to sleep for a cleaning anytime soon!

When I adopted my pup from a rescue, I could tell that the previous owners didn't care much about brushing his teeth. I'm iffy about putting him under anesthesia to have a vet scrape off the gunk so I decided to do it myself and this is a miracle tool. I wish I would've taken before and after pictures because a 5 star review is just not enough and it's only been a week. The pearly white back teeth are almost fully back! The only difficult part about this process is trying to let your dog get comfortable with having a plaque scraper scrape his/her teeth but a little patience and dedication goes a long way. One minute session has done more for his teeth than every dog toothpaste has in the last year. I'm still trying to find the right angles at which to scrape it off, given that my pup squirms around, but it's only been a few days since I've started using this so I hope he gets accustomed to it soon. I've been giving him positive reinforcement and a small fingertip of coconut oil after so that he associates teeth cleaning with rewards. Also, I follow up with Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste, which I seem to think is helping too. Anyways, buy this, it's affordable and it's effective.

Awesome quality. I use this on my chihuahua dachshund mix on a regular basis. I purchased and the first time I used it, it got off a TON of hardened plaque. I liked that both ends provided different angles, and allowed me to better reach different spots depending on the side of his mouth. It took some time to get him used to it, but I rewarded him throughout and gave him breaks as needed. Now I've been doing it on a bi-weekly basis so it doesn't allow for it to build up as much. I use a headlamp to get more light into his mouth, and have been able to keep his mouth much cleaner!

After moving away from home, my family completely neglected to take care of our dog's teeth and now she has several millimeters of plaque built up in her teeth. That's millimeters in WIDTH per TOOTH mind you. To deal with the issue I originally bought a human dental scaling kit from Walmart which didn't even scratch the surface of her tartar but this really gets in there and scrapes away at it. It's a long and arduous process but well worth it!

I've been brushing my rescue dogs' teeth for months now on a regular basis, and despite the full dentals they received before adoption, the one adoptee's tartar has come back quickly. Because so few vets do sedation dentistry, and anesthesia can easily kill greyhounds, I decided to build up the trust between us so I could scale the tartar myself and only take him for his regular infrequent cleaning visits or if there appears to be an issue.



It's taken time. Neither of my hounds likes the feeling, but if you are consistent and go slow (when they're sleepy and well fed!) you can train them to accept the odd vibrating sensation the scaler makes when you hit tartar. I reward them well for each time they let me clean a tooth, and I only do one. Then I do another in a couple of days and reward them well again. They've gotten to the point where they have very little anxiety and are more anxious to know which treat they're getting. All in all, a worthwhile few bucks!!

My dog hates this thing. I mean really hates it. If she could figure out how to destroy it, she would. It doesn't hurt her or anything; she just has some kind of personal vendetta against dental hygiene. So if you can't brush your dog's teeth, don't expect them to put up with this either. That being said, it's great at what it does. In the 10 second bursts she lets me use it, I've gotten significant plaque build-up scraped off of her back teeth. If you have a more patient dog, you might be able to get absolutely clean teeth in a single session. It's sharp enough without posing danger to her gums. Press hard and scrape in a downward motion with the scaler held almost parallel to the tooth for best results.

Sparkly teeth again! We brush our Chessie's teeth twice daily followed by a dental chew. Despite this ritual, the back molars still collect some serious tartar build-up. We have saved several hundred dollars thanks to this simple tool. I don't recommend doing this if your pup is not used to toothbrushing. Start with the front teeth and work your way to the back molars so that you don't accidentally hurt the gums. The edges are very pointed so be careful. Use a gentle scraping motion and don't expect to get all teeth cleaned in one session. We worked on one tooth at a time with rewards in between until a majority of the tartar is removed.

So this is bad but we haven't been very good at brushing our Yorkies teeth and so she is 3 years old and had terrible breath and like rock like formations on her back teen it was going to be $200 to take her to get her teeth cleaned and with her being 3lbs I'm always nervous to do that anyways and I was freakij gout thinking her teeth were rotting out from lack of dental care when I stumbled upon this scaler I got it a couple days ago and used it and he hardened tarter just popped right off revealing pearly whites underneath who knew so it is great her breath has improved and her teeth look worlds better but please understand this requires LOTS of patience and you want to go SLOW you can cause damage with this if not careful if you need to do just 1 tooth a day then do 1 tooth a day my Bella does not like it but I'm sure her teeth feel so much cleaner and better for it. If you have some treats or meat maybe work on teeth for a few then give dog a little treat this helped tremendously and I am so thankful for this little tool to clean and hopefully keep clean my dogs teeth I'm including a photo of just some of the hardened tarter that I got off my Yorkie teeth there wee many large chunks but hubby thew away the paper towel I had them and of course Bella giving me the stink eye after her teeth cleaning session lol

My Aussie Koda was getting some serious tartar buildup and the vet was suggesting a cleaning. I wanted to avoid that since it involves being put under. There are risks involved with anesthesia and a tooth cleaning didn't seem worth it.



So I decided to give this product a shot (just me and Koda, no additional help) and it does the job fantastically!!! Leaves the teeth near pristine.



I will say, your dog has to really really trust you in order to use the scaler to remove tartar. One tooth takes about 10-15 minutes to clean and I'm only doing one a day because even though Koda is so good and still and let's me clean, I can tell it's stressful for him.
