I'm so bummed! Been using this product my dog's entire life. He just turned 4 in March 2016. I brushed even when he had his baby teeth. Unfortunately, his adult teeth are in terrible shape now and I brush him using this toothpaste religiously. I do notice a fresher breath after use and, no, the breath does not smell like poultry afterwards. It just doesn't stink as bad. I am very disappointed with all my effort and to find that his teeth are decaying anyways. I've tried different toothbrushes and that didn't help. I tried using a wash rag to gently massage his teeth, that didn't work. Dental chews upset his belly and he does not like raw food or raw bones. Now, I'm thinking about trying my old Sonicare on him. I know the Sonicare will clean the heck out of his teeth, I just don't know if it will scare him due to it sounding like the grooming clippers. Another odd thing is that my dog has gotten worse and worse about letting me brush. He used to be ok with it because I think he really did enjoy the taste, but now he abhors it! Makes me sad forcing him especially when it is looking like we will have to get a professional cleaning one day in the near future. I did not want to do that and have my dog knocked out and that's why I have been so religious about the brushing. I'm pretty upset that it was all for naught. I am going to attempt to make an all-natural homemade dog toothpaste. I already brush him with coconut oil on the days I don't use Sentry. The only other positive thing I could say about the toothpaste besides it freshening breath is that a tube does last long.
