5.0 out of 5 stars
requires patience but works well overall,
By Ella (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double End Dog Dental Tooth Scaler w/Sleeve for Storage (Misc.)
I have been trying this product for a week now on my dog who has thick tartar buildup around the tips of her teeth. The two ends are shaped into diagonal points, not rounded, and are sharp. At first I thought it would be difficult to safely scrap my dog's teeth without pricking her but they are angled just right and they slope down in opposite directions so both right and left handed people can use them. My dog does not have much buildup along the gumline so I only spent a few moments scraping up there. The tips of her teeth are trickier. At first I thought I would be able to pull of chips of tartar but it didn't work out that way. Eventually I just learned to be patient and began scraping the tartar slowly. It takes about 10 scrapes to see it slowly building up on the scaler. I had to take frequent breaks to let my dog adjust and relax but slowly it began to work. I worked on her teeth about 5 minutes a day for a week so far and they are looking good. I think this scaler is only meant for the outside of a dog's teeth because there is no way it is going to reach along the inside. You just have to be careful the dog doesn't squirm because you may end up injuring its eye if you are not very careful. I lay my dog down on her side and point the scaler down towards her chin, not up.

Used by my Vet,

This review is from: Double End Dog Dental Tooth Scaler w/Sleeve for Storage (Misc.)
When I took my Miniature Schnauzer in to have his teeth cleaned, my Vet told me that it wasn't necessary to do a full cleaning under anaesthesia. She suggested that I do the limited cleaning that was necessary myself and demonstrated how using this tool. Her demonstration included a complete scaling of his teeth. She also suggested that I buy the tool from Amazon as it was less expensive than through her professional sources.
One must be careful not to cut the dog's gums and holding the dog still is essential to a good and careful cleaning. I have, subsequently, seen a video, on You tube, of anaesthesia free dog teeth cleaning which shows how to use the tool.

Great Product, great customer service & shipping,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Double End Dog Dental Tooth Scaler w/Sleeve for Storage (Misc.)
Product arrived exactly as specified, in a very timely manner. The tooth scaler was very sharp, as I would want it to be, so it could break up the plaque. My dog is 8 and has never had his teeth brushed and after a couple of 1/2 hour sessions with this, they look amazing. Yes there was some bleeding on the gums, just like when a human goes to the dentist, and I did slip once and bump his gums and they did bleed very briefly, but the trade off is definately worth it.
I think the customer service is important to mention. The shipping was essentially free and honestly I expected the tooth scaler to arrive in an envelope. But instead it was very well wrapped and then shipped in a padded envelope along with helpful information on how to use it. And it arrived very fast. Great doing business with this company.
