requires patience but works well overall I have been trying this product for a week now on my dog who has thick tartar buildup around the tips of her teeth. The two ends are shaped into diagonal points, not rounded, and are sharp. At first I thought it would be difficult to safely scrap my dog’s teeth without pricking her but they are angled just right and they slope down in opposite directions so both right and left handed people can use them. My dog does not have much buildup along the gumline so I only spent a few moments scraping up there. The tips of her teeth are trickier. At first I thought I would be able to pull of chips of tartar but it didn’t work out that way. Eventually I just learned to be patient and began scraping the tartar slowly. It takes about 10 scrapes to see it slowly building up on the scaler. I had to take frequent breaks to let my dog adjust and relax but slowly it began to work. I worked on her teeth about 5 minutes a day for a week so far and they are looking good. I think this scaler is only meant for the outside of a dog’s teeth because there is no way it is going to reach along the inside. You just have to be careful the dog doesn’t squirm because you may end up injuring its eye if you are not very careful. I lay my dog down on her side and point the scaler down towards her chin, not up.
Used by my Vet When I took my Miniature Schnauzer in to have his teeth cleaned, my Vet told me that it wasn’t necessary to do a full cleaning under anaesthesia. She suggested that I do the limited cleaning that was necessary myself and demonstrated how using this tool. Her demonstration included a complete scaling of his teeth. She also suggested that I buy the tool from Amazon as it was less expensive than through her professional sources.One must be careful not to cut the dog’s gums and holding the dog still is essential to a good and careful cleaning. I have, subsequently, seen a video, on You tube, of anaesthesia free dog teeth cleaning which shows how to use the tool.
