Since February is the month dedicated to dental care for pets I thought it would be fun to check out all the ways I’ve kept up with my oral health over the years. #NationalPetOralHealthCareMonth 

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Toothbrush Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Emmi-Pet is an electric dental tooth brush designed for pets that cleans teeth without the need of vibration. While I found this to be a great tool, I sort of fell off the wagon when it came to keeping up with brushing regularly (I know, shame on me). Fetch the Emmi-Pet Toothbrush.

I tried the Tropiclean Teeth Gel for a time, it’s a great way to add some cleaning power to your dog’s teeth without the need to use a toothbrush. You can even spread it onto your dog’s chew toys. I did thoroughly enjoy this cleaning method, but again I wasn’t great about keeping up with a routine. Fetch the Tropiclean Teeth Gel.

Mom even used a pet dental scraper on me. This is a great way to remove plaque buildup, and something I still have done on occasion when my plaque buildup gets noticeable. Fetch a Pet Dental Scraper.

Dental Chews are another great way to fight plaque if your dog likes to chew on them. I tend to be really interested in them at first, but eventually loose interest in the toys after a few weeks. One of my favorite chew toys that I have remained in is the Benebone which encourages me to chew on a regular basis (and I use it almost every night). Fetch a Benebone Dental Chew.

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

My absolute favorite way to keep my teeth looking sparkly is with dental chews. Lately I’ve been snacking on these Zuke’s Z-Bones Dental Chews from Chewy.com. Seriously what’s better than cleaning your teeth by eating something delicious!

Key Benefits of Zuke’s Z-Bones in Clean Berry Crisp

  • Potato and pea-based formula which is highly digestible
  • Alfalfa, parsley, rosemary, and fennel naturally freshen breath by supporting digestion
  • Helps polish teeth, freshen breath, and maintain healthy gums
  • Nutrient-rich cherries are a powerful source of antioxidants
  • Available in four sizes to accommodate all dogs 10 lbs or larger
  • Made in the USA!

My mom’s favorite part about these chews is that not only do they help clean my teeth and freshen my breath, but they also contain Turmeric. You may have heard me mention this ingredient before, but it’s been studied for its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent cancer in your pet. That’s a big plus in my book!

So while I’ll continue to do my best in keeping my teeth healthy and clean, I most certainly won’t give up my daily dental chews…..it’s my favorite part of the day!

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Cleaner Review & Giveaway

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Toothbrush Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friend at Emmi-Dent recently sent me their Emmi-Pet Ultrasound Toothbrush to test out. I was super excited to try what is essentially an “electric toothbrush” for pets.

What makes the Emmi-Pet different than a regular toothbrush for your dog is that it generates ultrasound with a patented ultrasonic microchip that is embedded inside the brush head.

This tiny chip creates up to 84 million ultrasonic impulses per minute and transmits them via the bristles and the special Emmi-pet toothpaste onto the teeth giving your pet a superior cleaning.

Just like electric toothbrushes for humans, it comes with a charging station and toothbrush heads for big and small dogs (which you can also order replacements for when they wear out).

Now I know what you’re probably thinking. An electric toothbrush is great and all, but there is no way my dog is going to let me put a vibrating toothbrush in their mouth. But guess what, it doesn’t actually vibrate – at least not enough that you or your dog could even tell it’s moving.

The Emmi-Pet is making those 84 million ultrasonic movements a minute so fast that you can’t even tell. And to clean your pet’s teeth you don’t even need to actually bush, just simply hold the toothbrush to your pets teeth for 5 seconds per tooth.

I’ve never been a big fan of getting my teeth brushed (I tolerate it), but this I didn’t mind at all. I sat quietly while mom held the brush up to my teeth.

The ultrasonic impulses are able to penetrate teeth and gums destroying bacteria and germs where bristles can’t reach. I even allowed mom to reach my back teeth with the brush – something she previously had trouble with when using a regular toothbrush that required brushing. This is essential in reducing and protecting against periodontal (gum) disease.

Mom even took the human equivalent to this toothbrush for a spin, and said she noticed her teeth did feel a bit cleaner after using it for a few days. The human version comes with vibration in the hand piece, so it’s more similar to most electric toothbrushes you may have seen, but still has the ultrasonic vibrations as well as the patented chip technology in the brush head.

The Emmi-Pet Ultrasound Toothbrush retails for $199, but you can get 20% off with code AMMO20. I’m loving this product and can’t wait to see how much whiter my teeth are in a few months!
