HICC PET Dog Mouth Cleaning Spray, Helps Freshen Breath, 5.1 Fl Oz

I almost passed on this spray because the overall rating was sitting around four stars, which is right on the edge of where I start paying closer attention before ordering. Like a lot of people, I rely heavily on reviews when I can’t physically inspect a product myself. Then I read the negative reviews, and honestly, some of them made me want to bang my head gently against a wall. Several people complained that this smells “like bleach” and said they would never put some dangerous chemical in or around their pet’s mouth. Let’s clear that up: this is not bleach. Household bleach is sodium hypochlorite. This product is hypochlorous acid. Those are not the same thing. Does it have a faint chlorine-like smell? Yes. It should. Hypochlorous acid contains chlorine, and chlorine-containing compounds can have a similar scent. Bleach also smells like chlorine, but that does not mean everything with a chlorine smell is bleach. That is like saying table salt and chlorine gas are the same thing because both involve chlorine somewhere in the chemistry. They are not. The mild chlorine smell is actually part of why I feel better about the product. If I’m buying a hypochlorous acid spray for cleaning, disinfecting, and pet hygiene, I want it to smell like it contains what it claims to contain. That is the active ingredient doing its job, not some mysterious toxic swamp potion. Used as directed, this is exactly the type of product I wanted. It is convenient, easy to apply, and useful to have around for pet-related cleaning and hygiene situations. I would obviously not replace proper veterinary care with a spray bottle, and I would not use it outside the directions, but as a basic hypochlorous acid spray, it makes sense and works well. So yes, it has a faint chlorine smell. No, that does not mean someone filled the bottle with household bleach and told you to spray it on your dog. Please do not let confused reviews scare you away from understanding basic product chemistry. I’m giving this five stars because the product is exactly what it claims to be, and I appreciate having a simple hypochlorous acid spray available for pet use. Hopefully this review helps at least one person make a more informed decision instead of panicking because “chlorine smell” and “bleach” got tossed into the same mental junk drawer.

Using on my two dogs a mini pom and a basset. Heavy tartar on the back teeth, trying to avoid dental because of anesthesia( last basset has swallowing problems for life after intubation) This REALLY works. Using consistently, through a half bottle can see a definite decrease and teeth are whitening. No bad breath anymore either. Smells like bleach but I sprayed in my own mouth before using it on them. Tastes like water! In fact I bought a human version for myself to put in my water pik. They resisted the first time but since then they just let me do it. No fuss. Worth every dime and I think within a month or so all the tartar will be gone!

This spray takes bad breath away almost instantly. I was honestly surprised at how quickly it worked on my pup's breath. The no-brush design makes it easy to use, especially for dogs who won't sit still for a toothbrush. The key is following the directions. Don't let your dog eat or drink for an hour after spraying, or you won't get the full effect. It takes a little planning around mealtimes, but it's worth it. My only complaint is that it has a pretty strong chlorine smell right after spraying. It fades, but it's noticeable at first, so be prepared for that. Overall, it's a quick and effective way to freshen your dog's breath. I'd recommend it as long as the chlorine scent doesn't bother you.

I’ve bought at least 2 or 3 bottles of this and every time the nozzle stopped spraying the contents. No amount of hot water, reassembling, sticking a pin in the hole…nothing gets it to work again. Nothing. So it’s a toss up whether or not you want to deal with that.

This really works! We’re on our second bottle. It cuts out bad breath that our Pomeranian had and stops the tartar from getting worse!

This stuff is amazing.. I have a yorkie and they are notorious about having teeth problems. I hadn’t really checked her teeth in the back but I noticed her breath was horrible. That’s when I noticed that they were in bad shape. Horrible plaque build up. I have used this for about a week now and most of the plaque has already cleared up. It smells like bleach but she doesn’t mind the taste. She happens to be a very picky dog but she doesn’t seem to mind it. Also her breathe is so much better. Great product and a lot better price than most of the others.

Keeps my dogs teeth less tarter

Although too early to tell on the cleaning, breath freshener works a treat and our dog didn't make too much fuss and seemed to like it !

This is great stuff. My dogs seem to like the taste. Easy to use. Make there breath smell much nicer too. Will definitely be buying more. Great value for money too. Seem to be working for my dogs.

Fonctionne réellement,facile d'utilisation

Ich bin begeistert von dem Produkt, obwohl ich mir erst unsicher war, weil ich den Hersteller bzw. Firma oder Marke nicht kannte. Also meinem Kater hat es sehr geholfen. Die Entzündung am Zahnfleisch ist auf jeden Fall weg.

A bien fonctionné pour les gencives de mon chien

Funktioniert bei meinen Hunden nicht! Aber der Kundenservice ist unübertroffen.
