Product Safety, long term use,
and clinical studies:
We asked Dr. Maier if she could
make a statement about the safety of our ingredients especially grain alcohol,
long term use, and how important Clinical Studies are to her.
Dr. Maier has been using PetzLife
Oral Care for over 3 years in her clinic.
“I'm not really one for
research data, I depend more on experience. This product has been available for
more than long enough to establish an incredible safety record. I have dispensed
this product to patients with diabetes, heart disease, cushing’s disease,
Inflammatory bowel disease, etc. I have yet to see a problem in any of my patients
that have used any of the Petzlife Products. I have however in the majority of cases
seen a remarkable improvement in their dental health.
Sincerely,
Dr Susan Maier (18 yrs Holistic
Veterinarian)

I am a holistic veterinarian and am always in search of natural products for my
patients. PetzLife dental products have been a great addition. I
feel like I have a new "tool" against tartar. In my 18 years in practice I have
often seen older pets undergo anesthesia for dental cleanings or growth removals,
and they were never the same afterwords. Some even developed
seizures. Petzlife Oral Care has worked on my
patients that have had severe tartar and gingivitis. Before discovering
this product we had to perform dental cleanings under anesthesia or resort to keeping
the animal on antibiotics (As a holistic vet I don't use antibiotics very often).
Now we can cure the problem while avoiding the anesthesia and the drugs !
Keep up to good work Petzlife.

I was reading one of my vet journals the other day and in
the letters to the editor a couple of veterinary dentists had written in that they
didn't believe the oral products could replace daily brushing and were a bit rude
about it. All I could think was....You are so wrong! Recently I went
to a conference and attended a lecture on gingivitis in cats. There were probably
over a hundred vets/vet techs in the audience and the lecturer asked how many
people brushed their dogs & cats teeth and about 6 people raised their hands.
If vets aren't going to brush their dogs teeth, you know the general public won't
either.

Bud,
Can you recommend a good web site for dog's healthcare. Cibo is
at night only biting and licking his rear end. It is almost like he has
flies, but that is not the case, he has Advantage flea control every month.
I brought him to the vet twice, and they cleaned out his anal glands, they
were not that bad, and he is still going at his rearend. The Vet said he
wants to put him to sleep and take a look at what might be going on,
of course I don't want that at all.
Ithought I might be able to find a cream,
he may have an allergy, or I may be able to find something on my own.
PS: I had his yearly check up when was at the Vets
office last week and he
checked his teeth and he said they looked good,
thanks to your product.
Last year they wanted to clean his teeth, and said
they looked bad.
Take care,
thanks,
Jim
Hi Bud,
If Jim's vet can't find anything wrong on physical
exam and the dog has had a fecal sample checked for
worms, this would be a perfect example for an animal
communicator consultation.(If Jim is open to that).
The two most common causes for licking at the back end
are full anal glands or tapeworms. Monthly heartworm
preventatives do not kill tapeworms.
Most animal communicators do consultations by phone.

I, too, have had some horrendous experiences with anesthesia. As a holistic
consultant and author ("Natural Cat Care" and "Natural Dog Care"), I avoid it whenever
possible. When I must, I ask for Isofluorane, as this anesthesia I feel is
the safest. I also prefer no preop sedatives (such as Ket/Valium or Propofal
[sic?]) because of my first nightmare. Thirty minutes after the vet pulled
my cat's "trach tube" (the tube inserted in your pet's throat), my beautiful, love-of-my-life
Siamese cat went into cardiac arrest and died. How heartbreaking it was to
go home from a dental with an empty cat carrier. I sobbed for days, but she
had clearly been over-anesthetized. They used a new drug pre-op (Propofal instead
of Ket/Valium, which is more common), then gave her a pain patch, and pain meds.
This is just too many drugs. How many times must our hearts be broken
before they learn these bitter lessons? I know they are trying to provide
pain control, and vets are doing their best to accomplish this. However, all
to often, the result is fatal.
Celeste Yarnall, PH.D
Last year, a client of mine purchased two beautiful, healthy, robust, male
kittens. She took them both in for neutering but only went home with one.
This little guy lost his brother because he had been given an overdose of the anesthesia.
The next loss was following a spay and teeth cleaning...two procedures I have
learned the hard way should not be done together. Bacteria from teeth cleaning
are "stirred up," but who wants to put them under twice?
The teeth of cats and dogs are in horrendous shape from eating cooked and processed
commercial pet foods. This is why I feed my version of a homemade, raw meat
diet. We see much improvement in our animals' mouths.
However, I welcome the opportunity to test these oral care products by: Petzlife
and hope, with all my heart, that it puts an end to anesthesia for dental cleaning.

Hi,
Just wanted to drop a line to tell you how pleased I am with the Petzlife Oral Care
products. I have received very encouraging feedback from my clients who have used
it. I have also been using it on my own dogs and, even though I am not as "regular"
as I should be with it, my 14 year old Havanese with 'sewer breath' (who sleeps
on my pillow) has been a much more pleasant sleeping partner! I've been practicing
veterinary medicine for over 30 years and, while I have not had any experience losing
a patient during a dental procedure, I much prefer dealing with tartar problems
without anesthesia when at all possible and the Petzlife Oral Care products are
simply the most effective that I have found, short of ultrasonic scaling. Thanks
for a great addition to our dental tool chest!
