I highly recommend! I use this on dogs and cats!

Vets ask what I do to keep teeth clean, slide along teeth under gum while squeezing bottle. They won't like any strange object in their mouth at first but get used to it. I have tasted it! No strong taste. I didn't taste anything. Highly recommend! Greatly reduces teeth cleanings at the vet.

reduces bad breath from gingivitis
June 5, 2015
My chihuahua has a serious heart problem (mitral valve regurgitation), thus cannot be put under anesthesia for teeth cleaning. His teeth are full of tartar and his breath was terrible. Even though I brush his teeth daily, it didn't seem to help. I worried about all that bacteria going into his blood stream and affecting his internal organs.
After using this product twice a day after meals, his breath smells much better, so it must be working at least to some extent. It's easy to apply, just one squirt in the side of his mouth. He doesn't like the taste, but tolerates it.

Has been great! My bichon had gingivitis frequently and had to be on antibiotics and frequent teeth cleaning. With this rinse and CET tootpaste he has gone 2 years not needing a cleaning or having gingivitis.

I've been using the Rinse for several months and find it helps keep plaque down and softens it so it is easy to remove., especially if you combine it with using the enzymatic toothpaste. It is also wonderful for gum health and easy to apply. My dogs do not mind the taste and I often use a soft brush with it to get up under the gums.. I would definitely recommend it to all dog owners and especially those who have been having trouble with tartar on the teeth..

This wonderful product saved my Mini-Dachshund from an abcessed gum, along with antibiotics, the abcess went away and he's out of the pain! I highly recommend this for all your pets - even those with no dental problems. Believe me, it works, used daily it will help AVOID GUM DISEASE & OTHER SERIOUS DENTAL PROBLEMS.

Not sure!
January 26, 2015
Tried it a couple of times on my dog. She does NOT like it. One of the times, she was foaming at the mouth, but I might have squirted too much in it. I forget to do it regularly so I'm not sure how well it really works. The concept of rinsing between brushing sounded good though.

I recently began using this on my dog who had his last dental cleaning in 2008. I am embarrassed to say that I did not stay on top of his oral hygiene and I thought we would need to have him go under anesthesia for a real cleaning. I really did not think he would cooperate with me, but he seems to actually enjoy me using a gauze pad and rubbing on his teeth. After 3 days of doing this, the plaque began scraping away and much improved breath! I think we will be graduating to a toothbrush very soon!

No more bad breath...

I've been using this product on Dexter, toy for terrier, for about six months now and I'm happy with it's results. Dex has had bad smelling breath before I started using this product. Now, it's much better. And I see that the plaque on his canines has diminished. I think if you this from day one with a new puppy you might avoid expensive cleanings.

Regular use of the CET Oral Hygiene Rinse coupled with brushing really helps minimize tarter buildup.

My two dogs beg for the rinse because it tastes so good. It works as stated as well. Been using this item for several years and the boys never tire of their nightly dose. I recommend this rinse highly.

Effective, but dogs don't like it
January 24, 2014
This oral rinse seems like it's effective, but my dogs really don't like it. I'm not sure if it doesn't taste good, if they don't like the feeling of it being squirted on their teeth, or both. I prefer to brush their teeth instead and they don't seem to mind that as much anyway.

Oral Rinse Easy to Use

This product is a great complement to brushing....It's very easy to use; however your dog may find the sensation of this unusual at first.
Great product and helps with plaque build-up.

This oral rinse is a miracle in a bottle. It's easy to use, highly effective and won't break the bank. I'll be using this stuff on my dogs for as long as they make it. Get some for your dog(s). You won't be sorry.

Good Product!

Our greyhound's dentist recommended this for her, as in her old age she developed tooth/gum problems. It really helped her. Now, we use it for all of our dogs to keep their gums and teeth healthy between cleanings. We find that we don't have to brush quite as much when using this product. Entirely Pets has good prices on this product.

CET Oral Hygiene Rinse
July 9, 2013
Bought this for my dogs dental health routine. What a huge mistake. Says to squirt in mouth. I did that and the dogs just hated it, literally tried to spit it out and then some. They were gagging on it. I would think it may have to do with the high degree of mint in it perhaps? Maybe it was just my dogs that didn't like the strong taste. Would not recommend unless you know your dogs like a strong mint flavor.

Good for simple dental hygiene
April 28, 2013
We got this at the recommendation of our vet. The angled squirt thingy makes it easy to squirt the solution onto the back molars. Good for helping to keep the teeth in good shape in between regular dental cleanings--reduces our cat's stinky breath.

An alternative to tooth brushing
April 21, 2013
My 10-y.o. moyen poodle used to keep his teeth clean himself, abrading them by vigorous tough-toy-chewing. Nowadays, he has slowed down a little, isn't doing the real aggressive toy-chewing... result: slight mouth odor. Brushing his teeth (particularly because he is missing two teeth) is about the last thing I wish to do in life. So I was delighted to find this product by Virbac -- a good company, I use their ear cleaner. Just started using it, great results.

Review for CET Oral Hygiene Rinse (8 oz) by VIRBAC
February 16, 2013
My greatest problem with this product is the application. It is always difficult to give any kind of medicine etc to my cats and this is no different. I would prefer a spray type of applicator - something that produces the spray faster. Just the sound of getting the liquid to the tip scares the cat. I am going to try a spray bottle. Now --- what is the status of my order of flea medication. I never received an e-mail acknowledging the fact that I ordered it? I have no way of tracking it since I did not receive an e-mail as your site tells me I will.

Recommended by my vet several years ago to avoid plaque buildup for my 2 dogs and I have not had to have their teeth cleaned by vet since using this along with occasional brushing. My dogs line up after dinner for their mouth squirt!

Great oral hygeine aid
November 27, 2012
I use this rinse after brushing my two poodle's teeth and it has helped clean their teeth and gums. I feel it helps kill the bacteria left behind especially on the back teeth. I put some on a small sponge (makeup type) and rub gently into the back teeth and gums. The breath odor is improving and the slim on the gums and teeth. I highly recommend this rinse.

Great to keep dental problems at bay!
September 6, 2012
I use this every night on both dog's teeth. It has kept both of them from having gingivitis and was great while both were recovering from oral surgery. Just be sure to not poke the gums with the spout. I use my finger as a guide along their gums so even if they move you won't poke their gums.
