Pet Product Review: Ora-Clens Dental Rinse

Oral hygiene is an important part of a dog's life. Studies have been done where 85% of pets that are at adult age have periodontal disease. Pets who are suffering from this can experience bad breath along with tooth loss. The bacteria from this disease can travel through your pet's blood and affect organs such as the heart, kidneys as well as the liver. As you can see oral hygiene is extremely important but unfortunately for some pet owners, it can become a daily battle trying to maintain their teeth.

My older female dog was not a fan of me putting anything in her mouth. She was very difficult to deal with. In the beginning when I started to implement a dental health program, like for example giving her C.E.T chews along with putting a mouth rinse in her water, she was fine with it. It's probably because she didn't realize what this was doing to her teeth. I'm sure the water she was drinking tasted liked mint but she still consumed it. The C.E.T chews she thought were just a treat though for a good dental program, she had to consume about 1 per day which she wasn't doing at all. Then she stopped altogether. I suspect it was because I kept pushing her to eat them, so she of course thought something must be wrong with the chews.

So I began brushing her teeth which she hated. I decided to do this for a certain amount of days and then alternate it with something else since she was giving me such a hard time when I went to put the toothbrush in her mouth. I tried a spray which worked well and then I eventually came to the Ora-Clens Dental Rinse. She still didn't like it but it was much easier to use and it was quick. It is not a spray but a squeeze bottle with a top that twists to adjust the amount of fluid that you want coming out of it. After I found the right adjustment, I would lift up my dog's upper lip and squirted right along the gum line. I did this for the bottom as well and made sure I got all of her gums along with every single tooth.

It seemed to work well! It was fast, easy to use and I even got areas that are difficult to reach. Was this actually helping her though? I suspect it was. Her breath would be better when I used the dental rinse and it had a nice lemon smell to it. In fact, I believe she likes the taste and not me putting the bottle near her mouth. The Ora-Clens Dental Rinse is supposed to decrease plaque and attempts to thwart disease in the teeth as well as the gums. I'm really happy with this product and I make sure I always order a new bottle before the old one runs out. At 8 oz for just 6.99, it's a small price to pay for your pet's dental health. You can order the Ora-Clens Dental Rinse at the website below. They are completely reliable as I have been buying from them for years.
