5.0 out of 5 stars It actually works We have two chihuahuas, Frankie on the left and Sammie on the right (Rat Pack references), and if you know anything about small dog breeds, then you know they’re prone to bad breath. As lovable and affectionate as these two are, their breath was so bad we could barely stand to let them near us. In fact, if they climbed on the couch and started grooming themselves, it smelled like a rotting corpse was laying next to you. We’ve tried a number of water additives over the years, with absolutely no success. However, in the spirit of not giving up, we decided to give this Oxyfresh Premium Water Additive a try, albeit with little hope that it would actually do anything at all. Much to our surprise it’s worked miracles. Within a week we noticed a HUGE difference. While their breath doesn’t smell minty fresh or anything like that, and what dog’s does really, it has rid their breath of about 90% of the stench, which is now entirely tolerable. Now we don’t cringe when they jump on our laps and get in our faces. They are both such affectionate members of our family, and this stuff makes getting and giving them that love a real joy. I know some people have voiced concerns in the comments about some of the ingredients, but after two solid months of use, we’ve noticed absolutely no adverse side effects whatsoever. We asked our vet, and she said she has no concerns with them ingesting this water additive, as long as we stick to the recommended dosage. If your dog suffers from really bad breath, I can tell you this stuff has really worked for us.UPDATE: 8/23/2021So I’ve seen a number of reviews claiming that this product contains toxic ingredients, so I spoke with my vet today and did a bit of research. I also responded to someone who had a question about this product, so I’ll just paste my response here, and hopefully it will answer a lot of concerns others are having about some of the ingredients in this product.We’ve been using this with our dogs for a couple of months now, with absolutely no issues whatsoever. However, today one of my dog’s rabies shots were due, so I showed this to the vet. To paraphrase our conversation after showing her some of the comments on Amazon, she basically said the following regarding Sodium Hydroxide being toxic: “Well yeah, if you consume unhealthy amounts of it, then yes, absolutely. But then again so is toothpaste. HOWEVER, Sodium Hydroxide is used in a number of human and pet products in very low amounts to regulate the acidity. It helps regulate the pH balance. It’s also used in a number of medications for humans and pets, as well as human and pet foods.”So after our conversation I went home, did a little more research and here’s what I found. “Sodium hydroxide is used to help manufacture a variety of medicines and pharmaceutical products, from common pain relievers like aspirin, to anticoagulants that can help to prevent blood clots, to cholesterol-reducing medications. Municipal water treatment facilities use sodium hydroxide to control water acidity and to help remove heavy metals from water. Sodium hydroxide is also used to produce sodium hypochlorite, a water disinfectant. Sodium hydroxide is used in several food processing applications, such as curing foods like olives or helping to brown Bavarian-style pretzels, giving them their characteristic crunch. Sodium hydroxide is used to remove skins from tomatoes, potatoes and other fruits and vegetables for canning and also as an ingredient in food preservatives that help prevent mold and bacteria from growing in food.””The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows sodium hydroxide as a food additive at levels lower than 1 percent.”As for Chlorine, if you’re giving your pets tap water from a municipal water supply, then it contains chlorine. I did a little more research on this as well, and here’s something I found. “The best source of chlorine is ordinary table salt, but chlorides are also naturally contained in meat, milk, and eggs. Almost all canned foods have salt added during the canning process.”As for Carrageenan, I found the following: “Carrageenan is an extract from a red seaweed commonly known as Irish Moss. This edible seaweed is native to the British Isles, where it’s been used in traditional cooking for hundreds of years. It’s also widely used in the food industry, mostly as a thickener and gelling agent.”As for Paraben, I found the following: “Typical food products which contain parabens for preservation, include beer, sauces, desserts, soft drinks, jams, pickles, frozen dairy products, processed vegetables and flavoring syrups. Some fruits, such as blueberries, contain parabens as a naturally occurring preservative.”My vet also explained that dogs, much like humans, are very diverse, and as with humans, some dogs are sensitive to things other dogs have no problems with. For example, my wife cannot eat fatty foods without becoming very ill, so she has to avoid as much fat in her diet as possible. I on the other hand have no problem with fatty foods, as anyone who’s seen a picture of me can certainly attest. If my dogs aren’t having any adverse issues, and my vet doesn’t have a problem with it, then I don’t have a problem treating their bad breath issues with it, as it’s truly been a miracle worker, where every other products we’ve tried has failed. From all the information I’ve gathered, if your dogs tolerate it well, then I can’t see anything that would cause them any underlying problems. As mentioned earlier, there are a lot of common ingredients humans and pets consume every single day that would be potentially very toxic if not properly dosed. I’ll leave the rest for you to decide what’s right for your furry loved ones.Variation: Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

5.0 out of 5 stars If your cat eats/chews on foreign objects--GET THIS!! I was trying to look into why my cats are obsessed with chewing on plastic and why a friends’ cat chews wires. I found out that a likely cause was dental problems. Which, if not taken care of, can be extremely costly, painful, and hinder your cats’ quality of life greatly, just like in any human. So I did some research. Found out that most “dental” treats’ logic is basically “it’s crunchy, so it cleans your cats’ teeth!” which is NOT true & is just going to cause your cats’ teeth harm.So I did more digging. Then I found this. Looked into it, seemed actually science backed and not just a marketing ploy, so I went out and tried it. I’m So happy that I did. My cats are feeling much better, and I can tell!The first think I noticed was that their breath got better. I’m not worried about this for my sake–they’re cats, their breath isn’t going to smell like mint (as mint is harmful to them), but it was particularly awful. Like farts smelled better than their breath. THAT is not normal. It was sour, vinegary, meaty, rotten, yeasty, and stung my throat and eyes. THAT is not normal.But after about a month of trying this stuff, not only has their breath gotten down to tolerable (I mean, smells like stinky cat breath, but not An Odor Most Foul), AAAND I’ve noticed the following:-Their gums are no longer red & swollen (I didn’t realize they were until I saw that they no longer were!)-They chewed plastic a lot less-They’re more playful-They’re more cuddly-They rub their gums on the corners of things way less-Their teeth doesn’t have build up anymoreFor those of you worried:My cats both have sensitive stomachs. I started them off on the “sensitive” proportions for the first 2 weeks, then the next few weeks went onto using the normal proportions. They’re both fine! They haven’t noticed! There’s not color, flavor (that I can tell, I haven’t tasted it lol, and if there WAS, so little gets diluted in the water comparatively that your water overtakes the flavor), or odor of this stuff, so my cats can’t tell that there’s anything in their water! They drink lots of water every day, no problem.This is basically like how the USA adds fluoride to their drinking water to help with teeth & gum health–it’s a minuscule amount so you don’t get sick or taste it, but it’s plenty to help out your dental hygiene! Just remember that this isn’t a REPLACEMENT for brushing your cats’ teeth! You still have to do that, just like how we in the US still have to brush our teeth despite the whole fluoride thing. But this certainly helps A LOT–and a lot quicker than I thought it would!I would put this on a “required” products list for any person who wants to actually take care of their cat. Just be sure not to add anymore than what the instructions say as to avoid making them sick, and be sure to stir the water up when you’re done adding it! Place lots of large, flat bowls (maybe slightly risen) in every room to encourage them to drink water bc cats don’t have a high thirst drive despite NEEDING lots of water. It’s what we’ve always done and my cats drink water out of every bowl several times a day.I hope this works out for you like it did me! Good luck!Variation: Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Daily Add-On That Helps Freshen Breath This water additive has been a simple and effective way to improve my dogs’ dental hygiene without any stress or resistance. My dogs usually hates having their teeth brushed, so having something I can just add to the water bowl has made a big difference in keeping up with oral care.After consistent use, I noticed a clear improvement in breath odor. It’s not an instant fix, but over time the smell became much milder and more manageable. It also gives me peace of mind knowing it helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup as part of a daily routine.I appreciate that it doesn’t seem to change the taste of the water enough to deter drinking, which was a concern at first. All my dogs continued drinking normally after I started using it.Variation: Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for mouth irritation Seems to work for bad breath, sore mouth and drooling probably caused by irritation. My two little ones in the house are as picky as cats can be but drink water with this solution in it with no complaint. They especially like it fresh and cool from the icebox chiller.Shorty drew all the short straws for cats, he is now nine but he has had a life of trouble so I have gone through several rounds of problems with him. One is that he has terrible flea allergies owing, I read, to things in flea saliva. This summer he chewed himself raw. In the past he has also had a cancer and tumor on his gums and eye and Eosinophilic Granuloma in his mouth treated with surgery and cortisone respectively.This last round of his troubles I was afraid one of the two was back, I think not now. Instead I think his gums are irritated from so much chewing. He drooled a lot and it was colored and smelled bad. A few years ago, after the EG he had open sores in his mouth and we used a product similar to Oxyfresh. After about a week the drooling has been reduced and I clean his windowsill perch less and less, his breath is much better, he seems more relaxed and happier. Cats are hard to read, they will purr when they are happy or dying. Be sure to refresh the water and add the Oxyfresh regularly. I change water morning and evening.I use natural treatments as much as possible and again have used a flea collar with Citronella, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Cedarwood and Cinammon to good effect in about two weeks.Variation: Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy! I’ve been using this mouthwash for my picky little fur baby and have had no problems. I pour maybe more than a teaspoon in my dog’s water since I give him a full 160z bottle of water for him to drink in his bowl. There is no scent that I smell and I have a very sensitive noise. Easy to use and no mess when finish. I would say the size I get last about 2 weeks for me, given how much I pour into my dog’s water. His vet and groomers say his teeth are good and he has hardly any bad breath. I do recommend.Variation: Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
