Maxi-Guard Oral Cleansing Gel, 4-Ounce

I have used this for years, and the vets are always amazed at my 11 yr old cat's teeth. Before looking in his mouth, they ask if I brush his teeth (no), put anything in his water (no), give him regular dental cleanings (no). Then they look in his mouth and say,"OH! That's amazing! There's no gingivitis whatsoever!! How is this possible?" The application instructions are impossible on my cat. I use a CLEAN/sterile (boiling water), thin, pet medication syringe (have several from various medication treatments). Put it in the bottle with the plunger all the way down. Pull it up half way, STILL IN THE BOTTLE, press all the way down to get rid of the air bubble. Then pull up half way, take the syringe out of the bottle, and watch as I press out excess back into bottle until I get to .1 mL measurement. Insert in side of mouth, depress plunger fully, you are done (except for sterilizing the syringe). I do this every other day. Bottle lasts OVER a year in fridge from date opened before turning brown; in fact I have yet to see it turn brown, I get rid of it when it turns a dark green.

Great for maintaining oral health

good product

I like this gel, the vet recommended this so we are using it, the quality is great, the taste is not bad, easy to use, great value, performance is great, freshness is good,

I use two plastic finger brushes and a little Maxi-Guard to brush my cat's teeth at least once a week. Put the finger brushes on your index fingers. Pour a little Maxi-Guard into a small bowl. Dip the finger brushes into the bowl and get the plastic bristles wet. Get behind your cat's head. Now insert the brushes into the left and right side of your cat's mouth. Your cat will try to keep it's mouth shut which is a good thing. Now gently brush your cats teeth for 10-20 seconds. Dip the brushes into the bowl a second time to get the remainder of the Maxi-Guard. Brush for another 10-20 seconds. My Tuxedo cat Eddie was 27 years old when he passed away. When I take my cats in for a visit to the vet, their teeth and gums are like new. Their blood work is always perfect. And their heart, liver, and kidneys are like new. They never have bad breath.

I’ve been ordering this product for a while. It’s worked well in the past. But I’m confused.. this little red bottle of ascorbic acid(vitamin C) came with it this time. Am I supposed to mix this in the cleansing gel? The ingredients in the bottle already say it has vitamin c in it.

Product has a great smell and is easy to use. Good results.

The product I received is by no means a gel. This might as well be water. Returning.
