Helps with old dog breath
Bought this for my 18 yr old doxie’s bad breath. It works very good.

Almost Perfect!
We just switched to Mad About Organics for our four cats. A few months ago one of them had some oral health issues so we decided it would be good to start using a water additive. We started out with a competing product, which we bought here on Amazon. To my knowledge it did not negatively affect them in any way, and it cleared up one cat’s bad breath. However, I have been gradually making the shift to a more natural lifestyle so when the other product was used up, I decided to check out the other products available on Amazon. If I am striving to live a healthier lifestyle, I should have the same standard for my four-legged family members.Just like our previous product, Mad About Organics contains water, aloe vera, and glycerine. These are the only ingredients they have in common. They both smell minty; this one because it contains both wintergreen and peppermint, and the other one because it contains peppermint flavoring. So this one has herbs, while the other has artificial flavoring. Mad About Organics finishes off the ingredients with kelp and tinctures of cranberry and blueberry. It is a totally natural product! Many of the water additives include sodium benzoate and/or potassium sorbate. Our previous product contained both. These preservatives are widely believed to be safe, but some people are now questioning this; I have been seeing articles recommending to avoid them if possible.Mad About Organics was the only product I found that is all natural. As with the previous product, the cats do not seem to mind the flavor. The cat who once had a bad breath problem is doing well (i.e. the bad breath has NOT returned). As for whether it is reducing plaque, I may never know, as I am not anxious to fight with the felines to get a look inside their mouths. The more important thing in my mind is that I have no doubt as to its safety, so I know that I am in no way harming them.The only reason I am giving four, rather than five stars, may seem minor. Nonetheless, it is important to me. The product comes with an old-fashioned lid. The kind that has to be unscrewed and removed. Most bottles nowadays have something like a flip-top, so that you can open the bottle without removing the lid. Also, with the flip-top or similarly designed caps, the flow is reduced so that it is easier to pour the desired amount. I have arthritis and do not enjoy unscrewing a cap with my my aching hands. I also have a bit of trouble hanging onto things, and have already dropped the cap a couple of times and had to get down on my knees to retrieve it from where it had rolled. Also, it is hard to pour just a small amount because the bottle opening is too large. Maybe nobody else would care about this, but I am just letting you know.BOTTOM LINE: This product is almost perfect.

My dog was allergic
Unfortunately my dog was allergic to it, broke out in hives, and my cat refused to drink it. Which is very unusual since he drinks a bowl every day. I so wanted this to work for at least my cat. He’s 17 and does not like to hold still to brush his teeth.

Fresh breath for your pup
I have a dog who doesn’t chew her food. She inhales it – literally – like a vacuum. Therefore, her teeth get bad quickly. I had her teeth professionally cleaned last year at 2 years old, and there is plaque forming again 1 year later. I’ve taken to brushing her teeth and thought I’d give this a try.Both dogs LOVE the flavor of the water and have been drinking more water! I started with a 1/4 cap and grew over a couple of days. I’m not sure why they recommend easing into it – but if it’s about water flavor and your dog being suspicious – there was none of that here.My Schnauzer has yucky teeth, but she’s 12-13 years old, so I’d expect that. She’s a huge chewer of bones, and after starting this treatment, a chunk of plaque broke off her teeth. I’m brushing her teeth every few days as well.What I notice most is that both dogs have better breath. The Schnauzer has always had death breath – and her beard keeps that odor as well. Now that she’s dipping her beard in water that smells fresh, I think it’s deodorizing her beard! Huge improvement.Overall, I don’t think it’s a miracle remedy that’s going to work on its own, but I wish I’d started it right when my Golden got her teeth cleaned. Who can complain about a dog having better breath? And I love that they have increased their water consumption! I’m very happy and will continue to buy this product!
