Review: A must if you have pets! - If you own a pet then you need this to help keep their teeth clean! My vet recommended it to me a couple of years ago & it’s made a huge difference in the health of their teeth. My vet said it helps stop plaque build up on their teeth & I believe him. Before I’d spend $800 per dog every year just to get their teeth cleaned, now they go every 18 months. Hey, if it saves me THAT much money then I’m happy to keep spending $18 every couple of months. Very easy product to use, just put it in their water, stir and it does the rest for you. There’s no smell. The dogs & even the cat don’t seem to know it’s in their water. So win, win!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in the USA?**
A: The label says it is made in the USA by PKB Animal Health Inc. Phone#:888-752-5487.

**Q: Vet said use "2 pumps" per bowl for my cat. We have 3 bowls and change them 2x day (84 "pumps" /week). How many "pumps" in a bottle?**
A: One pump is about 1/4 tablespoon (approx.) or .125 ounces.  The bottle is 4 ounces, providing bout 32 pumps (+ or - a few pumps).  I hope this helps!

**Q: is oratene the same a biotene**
A: V-biotene's name was changed to V-oratene.  Likely because of the confusion of the human dental stuff called Biotene, too.  V-Oratene=V-biotene.

**Q: What are the contents?**
A: Thomas, our bottle says it contains no alcohol, chlorhexidine, or xylitol.  "Ingredients:  Glucose Oxidase, Glycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Postassium Thiocyanate, Purified Water, Rosemary Extract, Sodium Chloride, Sorbitol, Zinc Chloride" (In bold print the following:  "Natural Enzymes, Dextranase, Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, Lysozyme, Mutanase."  In that order.  I hope this helps in your decision.  We notice that our cat likes 32 oz bottled water with two pumps of this daily and that his gums are better.  This is vital for us because he cannot undergo anesthesia due to a heart condition.  Best wishes to you and yours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ She doesn't turn her nose up!!
*by W***S on February 6, 2016*

I've been using Oratene's Drinking Water Additive for my 8 year old pit-mix for about 2 weeks now. I was drawn to this product because it appears to be the veterinary line produced by Biotene, which is a human mouthwash that I have sworn by for years. After trying another water additive a while back, I was reluctant to try any others. It had been minty flavored (not in itself a downside, except that I think my dog was opposed to the flavor) and it caused the water to foam. Suffice it to say, my pup wouldn't get NEAR that water. That was probably a year ago, and recently I decided to look for another product to hopefully help combat her bad breath. Her teeth are in great shape, and she has been given a Dentastix snack every night since she was a puppy, but all the same, her breath is pretty off-putting. It doesn't take much of the Oratene per bowl of water - so it feels like the 4 oz. bottle it will probably last a while, even with using it (*ahem* when I remember) in two separate bowls (I keep one with her food, and one in my bedroom so she can get a drink at night if she's thirsty). I was immediately pleased to discover that it does NOT make the water foam, nor does it have a smell. In fact, my pup doesn't seem to notice it's there at all, and she continues to drink from the bowls. I have seen some improvement in her breath, and I think I'll likely see more once I get better about putting the Oratene in her bedroom bowl as well - as she actually favors that bowl in general. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product, and I anticipate keeping it on hand at all times. I will update this review once I've been consistently putting the Oratene in -both- water bowls so I can give a better idea as to how effective it has been.
