 Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel


Description of the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel: 
"General: Dental Plaque is formed by bacterial byproducts in the mouth and induces bad breath, tartar and inflammation of the gums. If untreated it can lead to periodontitis and early tooth loss.

How does Orozyme work? The Peroxidase-System - an enzyme complex of the saliva - helps to maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the mouth. As the effectiveness of this system depends on the degree of salivation and this is in turn influenced by the overall state of health, the feeding and the age, it is useful to give  the Peroxidase-System as a supplement.
Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel contains an surface active agent which is ensuring a sufficiently long contact of the Orozyme with the teeth and the gums. The enzyme complex infiltrates plaque and thus destroys the basis of bacterial growth. This process supports the deterioration of existing plaque and prevents further plaque formation. In addition, plaque will be removed mechanically via mild polishing agents which are contained in the gel and with the help of the saliva and the dog's tongue.

Areas of application: or the daily care of teeth

Ingredients: Patented LPO-compley; Amylase, Glucoamylse, Glucose oxidase, Lactoperoxidase, Superoxid-Dismutase (SOD), Potassium Thiocyanat, Lysozyme, Lactoferrin, mild polishing Components, nonionic Surfactant, Flavourings.

Application recommendations: Once daily or in combination with the Orozyme Chew Strips - use 3 times a week.

Dogs - give directly into the mouth
Cats - give directly into the mouth or put some onto the paw to lick off

small Dogs and Cats - 1cm Gel
Dogs less than 20kg - 2cm Gel
Dogs over 20kg - 5cm Gel
An attachment is enclosed in the package which eases the administration to Cats and small Dogs.

BRUSHING IS NOT REQUIRED. If necessary, the dog's teeth should be treated from a vetenarian first.

Storage: Store in a cool and dry place!"


Review: I am using the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel for a few months now and I am quite satisfied with the product. I brush Rocky's teeth daily in the evening and give a tiny amount of the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel into each of his chaps. In the beginning I tried using the enclosed attachement which Rocky however did not like at all and since then I always put a tiny amount on my finger and give it to Rocky which does not bother him.
Before using the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel Rocky did have quite a few dark areas of plaque, especially on his back teeth. Since using the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel for some months these areas became considerably less. Especially in combination with natural chews which are harder in consistency (such as venison sinews), the Orozyme Oral Hygiene Gel works very well. Even though the dark areas of plaque have not vanished 100%, I am yet still very happy about the results so far.
Overall, I am very satisfied. It not only removed some of the dark areas of plaque, but also does not bother Rocky at all which makes it an ideal oral hygiene product for Rocky.

Crazypets Dog Tag Collar

Available colours are dusky pink, lilac, light purple, anthracite, beige, coyote, golden yellow, light blue, imperial red, caribbean blue, kelly green, bright blue, coral, navy blue, moss, neon green, neon pink, neon turquoise, pink, rust, red, royal blue, chocolate brown, black, silver, tan, teal, turquoise, white, pearl, bubblegum pink, dark orange, fuchsia, gras green, light pink, maroon, grey, neon orange, neon yellow, olive, bright yellow, fir green, burgundy, brigh purple and purple.

The Dog Tag Collars are not adjustable and are made-to-measure in order to loosely fit around the dog's neck."

Rocky has a Dog Tag Collar in the colour turquoise.



Rocky with his Crazypet Dog Tag Collar:


Review: I think the idea of a Dog Tag Collar is great. Many dogs like to run through nature "naked" (meaning without any bulky collar or harness). In order to however guarantee that a dog tag is worn by the dog, Crazypets created a light and for the dog hardly noticeable Dog Tag Collar. The Dog Tag Collar is thus manufactured in a way that it loosely fits around the dog's neck. Unfortunately, Rocky's Dog Tag Collar is quite tight and only very barely fits over his head. Nevertheless, I think that the acutal idea is very good.
  
 
  
Crazypets Bracelet


Description of the Crazypets Bracelet: "In order for the master and the mistress not to come away empty-handed, Crazypets also creates bracelets which can be attuned to a braided Collar- and Lead Set.

Available colours are dusky pink, lilac, light purple, anthracite, beige, coyote, golden yellow, light blue, imperial red, caribbean blue, kelly green, bright blue, coral, navy blue, moss, neon green, neon pink, neon turquoise, pink, rust, red, royal blue, chocolate brown, black, silver, tan, teal, turquoise, white, pearl, bubblegum pink, dark orange, fuchsia, gras green, light pink, maroon, grey, neon orange, neon yellow, olive, bright yellow, fir green, burgundy, brigh purple and purple."

I have received a Bracelet which was matching to Rocky's Collar- and Lead Set in the colours caribbean blue, tan, turquoise and beige.


 
 The Crazypets Bracelet worn on my wrist:



Rocky's Collar- and Lead Set with my matching Bracaelet:


Review: For everyone who would like to walk around in "partner look" wiht their dog, the Crazypets Bracelet is perfect. It is made-to-measure and matches in colour to the Dog Collar- and Lead Set. I think it is a absolutely great idea and in addition very suitable as a gift.

Pauls Beute

Pauls Beute (Pauls Prey) - Savoury food from the dog kitchen


We have received a few Wet Food Cans and Natural Chews by Pauls Beute.
 
    
     
About Pauls Beute

paulsbeute.de
www.paulsbeute.de
   
"Pauls Beute was created by Lars Hasenjäger and Marcus Bruns. They were asking the question of what would be a truly healthy and species-appropriate diet for their dog Paul and after it was proven by experts that most of the dog diseases in old age can be lead back to wrong nutrition, they quickly decided to make their own dog food. Thus, the plan was developed to produce natural dog food without all the nutritional supplements and chemical additives so that everyone can see at first glance what it contains. Since 2010, Lars Hasenjäger and Marcus Bruns therefore now develop their own recipes for Pauls Beute with the help of the vetenarian Dr. Volker Wienrich."

Review: The Pauls Beute Wetfood variety Venison has a great composition. Next to the high meat content it also contains healthy vegetables. The pumpkin is still well visible within the Wetfood. I think it is great if ingredients are still recognizable in dog food.
Rocky really liked the Venison variety and immediately emptied his bowl.
