I have an eight-year-old 18 pound mix breed working dog. I’ve been using water additives and she was a puppy. Every year when she goes in for her check ups the vet asked who cleans her teeth! I know, I don’t brush, although my knowledge I should have started doing that years ago.
Have used differing water Additives over the years and I’ve noticed some actually do end that doggy breath smell. As for assessing tartar buildup it’s more difficult to comment on which additive was more effective.
After eight years I’ve never noticed there is a minimal amount of tartar buildup so we’re going to get a professional cleaning.
But my experience with water additives (but I do check the ingredients to make sure there’s no xylitol or other known toxins) is that they absolutely do prevent tartar buildup can be prevent bad breath.
