Virbac C.E.T.® Oral Hygiene Kit for Dogs | Poultry-flavor Toothpaste | Fingerbrush and Pet Toothbrush

Didn't end up using the toothbrush this came with bc my pet I bought it for was my first kitten! :) I was so worried teaching him to brush his teeth would be an absolute nightmare from Hell... but to my surprise, he absolutely adores the flavor (I got him chicken)! He still squirms away when I try to cut his claws, but every night, I've been brushing his teeth with this and he never runs, not even an attempt at squirming away! Overall, I can't speak for the quality of the brush, but I did rub it with my fingers gently to feel how soft it was, and the slight give to the bristles wasn't bad at all! Easy to gold the brush, and the comfort for me and my kitten looks good to go when he gets older. For now tho, the quality of the toothpaste is top notch, very impressed by this product and will definitely come back for more!

Great product. My pets love the taste.

this toothpaste rocks! my puppy is obsessed with it, he thinks its a special treat :) all I have to do is hold the toothbrush and let him go to town, or supervise him while he holds it (he’ll eat the toothbrush if left to his own devices). super easy to use! my puppy’s breath has zero smell, and his teeth are pearly white and plaque-free, so it seems to work very well. just make sure to clean the toothbrush and toothpaste tube really well after, as the toothpaste dries into a really hard gunk that can be tricky to remove.

This product is often recommended by veterinarians as the go-to for feline dental care. I am pleased with the product in the fact that it does what it is supposed to. However- the fish flavor does not entice my kitties! Logan hates it and will scratch to get away, Orion tries to get away but tolerates it and Moony is always trying to meow the whole time like I just committed the ultimate kitty parent sin! Alas, I am a concerned pet parent so I continue to try! Especially since there aren't very many competitors on the market right now. What every kitty parent should know is that feline oral care is very important because your cat can get gingivitis which can lead to tooth loss and heart issues. Not to mention cavities that can eat at the base of the crown causing holes through the molars of the teeth. You may notice while brushing that kitty has calculus (plaque) by looking at the back upper and lower cheek teeth. It appears brown and hard. It will not come off with brushing and the cat will need to go to the veterinarian for dental cleaning. However, if you start on this program regularly you can help avoid this. Also a meat based wet diet will help with dental care as well. The product does come with your choice of weapon (lol). A slightly harder clear "finger brush" which I deem useless due to the size of the feline mouth, and the white little toothbrush that is about 2 1/2 inches long with a bent head. This works pretty well. You also get a large tube of toothpaste that I can see lasting awhile because all you need is a pea size dollop. What I would like to see by taking the "at home dental care" further is a toothbrush case and some kind of hands free disinfectant so the brush isn't just sitting in my medicine cabinet like it is now. Call me a germaphobe but cats mouths are extremely germy and I like the idea of having a ready to go sterilized brush for next use. Also, it would be nice to have a little stand or something of that nature so that when you are wrestling kitty the toothbrush doesn't get knocked off of a table and you have toothpaste everywhere. To work and create products for animals we must understand animals! All in all I will say that this product is pretty decent and worth the money.

My dog loves the flavor.

So easy to use! My yorkie doesn’t love to have her teeth brushed but the options of the finger brush or the tooth brush make this a really great choice. Sometimes she’s willing to let me get all her teeth brushed with the toothbrush whereas other times she’s only willing to let me use the finger brush. The paste isn’t minty but my dog seems to like it (as much as she can like any toothpaste)

My dog loved the toothpaste flavor and was happy to get his teeth brushed for the first time! Beware! The toothbrush that came in the kit is dangerous. A few bristles got loose! If I didn't notice, my dog could have choked or swallowed them! I am complaining to the company.

(Please see an update at the end of my review.) I’ve used CET Virbac Toothpaste in the poultry flavor for more than a decade. I’ve never had a cat that didn’t love this flavor. It works well and makes toothbrushing much more tolerable for cats like mine who are used to having their teeth brushed. CET Virbac is a brand that many vets sell and recommend to clients, which is why I first started using its toothpaste and toothbrushes with my own cats. I would have a very hard time brushing their teeth without the help of this toothpaste! I have never liked silicone finger brushes, or any brush with silicone bristles, so I have no use for the finger toothbrush that’s included in this kit. The dual-head toothbrush in the kit, on the other hand, is one of my favorites for my cats’ teeth. I only use the smaller, compact side of the toothbrush for my cats’ little mouths. It’s very soft and has a low-profile that allows it to fit in the small space between a cat’s cheek and gums. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found what I would call a ‘perfect’ cat toothbrush, and I think I’ve tried almost everything. Right now, I’m using two different toothbrushes on each of my cats to get the job done, this brush and the Nyanko Mind Up Cat Toothbrush, also sold on Amazon, which is quite tiny and allows me to get to areas in their mouths that I can’t quite reach with the CET Virbac brush. I’d tell anyone who might ask that brushing a pet’s teeth regularly really is worth the effort (for me it is, anyway). I would not recommend brushing an adult pet’s teeth without first having its mouth checked by a vet, though. Brushing could cause pain or even do some damage if there’s an existing dental issue. So please first check with your vet and get the go ahead before you start brushing. You can also get some great tips from your vet to make toothbrushing work for both you and your pet. Nobody has to get hurt, including the person doing the brushing! After checking with your vet, I think you’ll find CET Virbac products incredibly useful like I have for so many years. 🐱 Update: After writing my review I opened a recent purchase of one of these toothbrush and toothpaste kits. At a glance, everything looks identical. Sadly, the toothbrush has changed. The new toothbrush's bristles aren't as soft. I found the bristles to be a little too firm for my cat's mouth. So although I continue to use CET Virbac's poultry flavor toothpaste, I've stopped using the toothbrush that comes with this kit. I still use the Nyanko Mind Up Cat toothbrushes I mentioned in my original review, but I've replaced CET Virbac toothbrushes with Colgate Kids My First Toothbrush for babies 0-2 years. The bristles are soft and can be softened even more by soaking the head of the toothbrush for 30 seconds in a cup of hot water. CET Virbac, please go back to using the same soft bristles in your dual-head toothbrush that your customers loved!
