Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Does the Flavor of Dog Teeth Cleaning Gels Matter?

There are safer and more effective dog teeth
cleaning products now available on the market for
canine owners. These products do not have the
same side effects and possible consequences as
does the most common form of cleaning dog teeth
known as teeth scaling. This procedure is done in
the vet's office and offers substantial risk,
especially for older dogs.

The canine teeth cleaning gel on the market today
often comes in two flavors. This option probably
has more to do with the pet owners than it does
the dogs' preferences. Cats are another matter,
but most dogs are not that picky at all when it
comes to anything that "could" be some type of
food. Humans have a difficult time with this
concept. People are very into "flavor" of their
foods and even their own toothpastes they use for
their teeth.

Basically, there are 2 flavors available on the
market today: mint and salmon oil

It may seem odd that a dog would be interested in
anything "mint" flavored, but most of them never
raise an eyebrow when the opportunity arises to
have it in their mouths. Actually, successfully
cleaning a canine's teeth with an all natural and
safe gel product, whether it be a spray or a gel,
depends much more on how the owner approaches the
procedure. If the canine owner goes too fast in
the beginning and causes the cleaning process to
become too stressful, the procedure in the future
can be all but a lost cause.

Although the flavor does not matter with respect
to how easy of process the cleaning is for your
canine, there can be a slight difference in the
effectiveness of the cleaning gel or spray. It is
thought that the salmon oil flavor may actually
be more effective in removing tartar from the
canine's teeth.

By the way, regardless of the type of dog
toothpaste you choose, always remember that it is
vital to the success of the procedure that the
dog not eat or drink anything for at least a half
hour after the cleaning. Actually, it is best to
do the cleaning at night before bed time and not
allow the canine to have any water or food before
going to sleep.

This will ensure the gel or spray time to
effectively dissolve the plaque on the teeth much
more rapidly. Additionally, it is thought that
twice a day tooth cleanings in the early days.
This will provide the quickest possible
dissolving of the teeth plaque.

Some owners report better results with the salmon
oil flavor. The reason for this is that the
salmon may in fact help remove the tooth plaque
at a quicker rate than other flavoring does. If
this is the case, it is definitely suggested that
dogs use the salmon flavor version of the dog
teeth cleaning toothpastes.

If one has a choice, always select the oil
version of the flavor if at all possible. Most of
the products available today offer that option
for their dog teeth cleaning products.
