| PetzLife: Spray, Gel, or both? Should I get the spray, gel, or both? What is the best way to administer it? Spray in the AM and gel in the PM? Just gel in the AM and PM? Just spray in the AM and PM? Which is best. |

| Instructions for spray say 2x weekly decreasing to once a week if teeth are tartar free. Also brush daily. It is best to spray before bed with no water or food after application. It really does work and is worth the effort to get your dog use to it. Anything is better than going under anesthesia.(?). Carol & Buddy |

| I personally would not use it everyday. I would be afraid of damage to the tooth enamel. Instructions state 2x weekly. If it can remove tartar like it does what would it do to clean teeth when used daily? Carol & Buddy |

That is something to consider. My babies are only 7 months and 14 months and neither of them have tarter buildup yet. Maybe I'll use it every other day. If I use it every other day, should I still use it twice a day, spray in the AM and gel in the PM? Or should I just use the spray once a day, every other day? | |

| It comes with instructions. Instructions on the spray state use 2x weekly. I spray on Mon night and Thurs night. No food or water after so spay at bedtime. I brush every day as well. Buddy's teeth are very white. It is ok for pups 14wks and older. I would not use 2xdaily or even once a day. It really works like magic. |

So really, I don't even need to order both? Just one or the other? I don't brush their teeth. Should that affect how many times a week I use the stuff or if I should get the gel or spray? | |

| I would start brushing their teeth for between uses. The spray works for me some like the gel. I guess it would be your choice and what you think would be easier to work with. The gel might be easier to work with. I ordered the spray because it was cheaper! $22.95 plus SH. It came to approx $26.00 but well worth it. Gel was more. I believe using as instructed it will last 4mos. Remember you have 2 pups also so it won't last as long. |
