I'm intrigued by a product I've come across on the internet called Leba III. Apparently it's a natural herbal concoction that you spray on dogs' and cats' teeth and over time removes plaque. Sounds like a good way to avoid or postpone veterinary teeth cleaning. If it works and is safe. I've found plenty of places that sell it, but I can't find much information about it. Has anyone used this product and/or have more information about it? Thanks....

I am not sure what to think of this.

One possible way for this to work is for the spray to be sour/bitter, than the taste would stimulate saliva production. An increase in saliva production is scientifically shown to correspond to an decrease in plaque.

But then again, I don't really know the constituents of this concoction, so I would not be able to give you a definite answer.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to find out. Why did you change your avatar? I liked the little orange and white kitty -- so much like my Twinky.

Well, I cannot get a custom avatar in here. I haven't posted enough yet.


I picked the rose one from the list because Sheng-Mei means "Blooming Rose".

Leba contains a high percentage of alcohol. Because of this, my vet was reluctant to have me use the product when I asked her opinion about it. Alcohol can irritate sensitive mouth tissues, and is also not healthy for cats to ingest.
