Since I got no reponse I guess no one use it before. Here is an update after using it for a week.
My cat use to have very bad breath now it improving alot and the teeth looks a little whiter too.
BTW, I don't work for them.

I only just heard about it when I read an ad for it in a trade magazine this past week. I am *very* interested in it, and will be discussing this with my vet.
Glad to hear it is working well so far for your kitty.

I just did a quick google and found out about it! I wonder if anyone knows if it is available in the UK? It sounds rather interesting!
My local feed store has it and I would be interested in trying it but $70 is a bit on the expensive side, do you feel it has worked enough to justify spending that much on it (I brush my cats teeth anyway)
It says 240 sprays... do you just spray it into their mouth or onto the teeth directly or onto food etc? How many sprays per 'cleaning' did you use?

Oh my! $70!!
The site I read said that it made a big difference to the teeth of a kitty with a tendancy to get peridontal disease!
I would be concerned with wasting the stuff though, if I missed and had to use numerous sprays!
I know, I probably don't spend that on toothpaste in a year for myself
With 4 cats, a couple of sprays a cleaning, $70 wouldn't last very long

For the first 35days you need to spray twice a day one spray at a time, no food or water 30min before/after the spray. After 35days do it 2-3 times a week. Just open the month and shoot into it, don't have to be on the bad area.
the guy told me each bottle should last a yr.
I always late to work in the morning so I can only manage to do it once a day(at night), and I am supprise cats don't hate it.

I am very interested in this product. However, the price is a bit steep. From looking at their web site it appears the primary ingredients are water and 25% ethyl alcohol and trace elements of two herbs, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae. It just doesn't seem like it should be that expensive, has anyone seen a less expensive similarly formulated product?
I saw this product listed on other forums, Life for Teeth Spray http://www.petzlife.com/
This product uses different ingredients, but it looks like water and alcohol still top the list ... this is what they say on their web site
The main ingredient in Life for Teeth and Brush Away is grapefruit seed extract. Grapefruit seed extract, Grape seed extract, Thyme oil, Neem oil, Rosemary oil, and Peppermint oil. These are all specially formulated with distilled water and grain alcohol to produce one of the most effective and safest dental products ever produced. (click here for individual ingredients definitions)
I haven't used either one of these products but from what I've read on other forums, they both work, but of course results are different for each animal. Also there are liquid additives you can put in the water bowl to help control bacteria growth in the mouth .. these are less expensive, but, and I'm just guessing here, probably also less effective. (I've tried the Petkin brand additive and it does seem to help with stinky breath, I can't tell if it actually helps with their teeth, it might be slowing or preventing new tartar build up) I'd be really interested to hear feed back about these extracts and herbs that are being used and whether they actually do anything or if it's really just the alcohol killing bacteria, preventing build up and breaking down the old plaque and tartar.

This sounds interesting although it's very expensive. My cat has just had to have a dental (and 2 teeth removed) and I'd really like to prevent him having to have another one in a few years time.

It is expensive but not as expensive as quoted if you do a bit of a web search. (No surprise I love to do those!)
I found it for $40 at felineinstincts, here is the page listing it's price: http://www.felineinstincts.com/order...derNow-idx.php
another site called thegildedpaw.com sells it for $49.99.

I tried it with one of my rescues, Tippy, who has stomatitis..he acted like I was drowning him and it was a very messy process. Applying oral gel with my fingers, as gentle as he was, was like trying that with a shark. Ugh!
At the moment, he's getting T/D with his food each day, and it has reduced the redness along the gum line...but I really want to do the Leba III, if my vet feels in his case, it will help.
Yeah, I know what you mean, mine go into lock down any time you get near their mouths ... I'll tell ya, it's easier to pry a horse's jaws apart than either one of my kitties. Getting in there long enough to brush their teeth is impossible, I have about .75 seconds if I'm really sneaky and with a lot of luck

Is anyone reading my note with where to buy it for almost half what was quoted here as the price?
Did I kill this thread?
That was the only canadian place I could find it so its in CDN $
I am glad I posted it anyway, so those of us in the US know the US price. I am sorry there is such a difference in price for Canadians..that's icky!
