We talk all day about TEEF, so when we get a review like the one you are about to read, it puts us over the moon. Keep reading to learn about one TEEF user’s five star experience!
For many pet owners, brushing our dogs’ teeth is impractical. Water additives that reduce plaque, freshen breath, and prevent cavities sound like the perfect solution! However, the additives that actually work contain antibacterials/antiseptics which kill beneficial bacteria in dogs’ mouths as well as in their guts. This is a big deal! Much research indicates that the diversity and health of microbes within humans’ guts has profound implications on our short-term and long-term health outcomes, and there’s no reason to believe it’s different for dogs.
Killing beneficial oral bacteria is a bad thing, too. For example, destroying these bacteria in humans suppresses our body’s primary source of nitric oxide, which is critical for heart health! Really, Google it. I’ve stopped using antiseptic mouthwash for this reason. But we humans can at least spit out mouthwash after using it. Dogs swallow theirs, so the damage is not limited to the oral flora.
Given the oral care alternatives, I was truly excited when I discovered TEEF for Life and their claims of providing a solution that improves dogs’ teeth and breath while promoting healthy bacteria rather than killing it. I’m even happier to report that it works! We’ve been giving Protektin42 to our 3-year old pitbull/chow mix for about 45 days. She gladly drinks the water (no difference vs. untreated water), and her breath is seriously pleasant now, while her substantial plaque build-up is almost entirely gone... I’ll be using this product for the rest of our girl’s life.
