Pet Breath - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between Dr.Katz for Dogs toothpaste and using my own toothpaste on my dog, or other "dog" toothpaste?

A: Dogs hate foam and every toothpaste on the market for humans (except TheraBreath toothpaste) contains a harsh detergent known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This is OK for shampoo, but the great amount of foam created is very troublesome to your dog, because they immediately want to get rid of it, but because your dog can’t spit or cough it out, they become very disturbed.

Also, Dr. Katz for Dogs is the only Oxygenating Toothpaste designed Specifically for dogs. It does not contain strong minty flavors (as in human products), so dogs are not "turned off: by the "human taste".

Q: Aren’t rawhide chews enough to maintain my dog’s breath?

A: No. That’s because rawhide chews (or chews of any kind) provide only a physical method of removing just a bit of surface dental plaque. This is just a very small part of "bad breath in dogs". Your dog’s teeth need to be cleaned, just like yours!

The plaque that accumulates at the junction of the roots and the gums is where mineralization takes place, which then becomes tartar (or calculus). This is very irritating and starts the process of gum disease and eventually tooth loss.

Using an Oxygenating product like Dr. Katz for Dogs Oral Solution and Toothpaste ensure that oxygen molecules inhibit the production of the dangerous sulfur compounds that initiate gum disease and bad breath. No other oral product for dogs uses this type of active ingredient.

Q:  My dog’s teeth are very dirty. What should I do?

A: It’s very important to work closely with your vet. Ask your vet to examine and clean your dog’s teeth. When you get home, maintain this clean feeling for your dog by using Dr. Katz for Dogs as recommended on the product label.

Q: Occasionally, my dog gets some small sores on his back legs. My friend said he applied your Dr. Katz for Dogs Toothpaste when his dog had similar sores and he said it worked great. Why does this work?

A: Our Dr. Katz for Dogs toothpaste contains a very concentrated form of medical-grade aloe vera. At this concentration, the aloe ver assists in the formation on new tissue because it is beneficial to collage production. Try it! It should work very nicely.

Q: My dog has an odor problem – not just bad breath, but she just smells bad all the time. I shampoo her with the most expensive pet shampoos I can find. Despite using these costly formulas and prescription shampoos from the vet, she still stinks. What can I do?

A: Our De-Odorizing shampoo should do the trick! It contains oxygenating agents which will attack odor-producing microbes below your dog’s skin and coat. Plus, it contains healthy natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, along with anti flea and tick agents.
