We use: Grapefruit seed Extract. H20, caramel extract, xylitol for sweetness -- found in sugar-free gums. A solution of 20 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract with 10oz. H20 and carmal extract for taste has cured incoming dogs to the pet rescue of bad breath and tartar build up. This took about 2 days of having it sprayed into the mouth for bad breath and a week to notice loss of tarter. Daily maintenance of 4 drops in water also showed a reduction in weight in our heavier dogs. Give chew toys or carrots to dogs during this time to assist with the cleaning process.

GSE is an excellent anti bacterial element and has many uses for people and pets. Great for raising the pets PH level as well.

Hello. I was reading a remedy for Halitosis from Alan.

I was worried about the Xylitol that is used for a sweetener, in his recipe, because I read an article stating that Xylitol caused serious side effects in Dogs including death. I believe the article was from Pedigree.com, but I am not sure. I just thought that this would be useful information. Thanks!

Do NOT use products with Xylotol in them for your pets. It's toxic in very small amounts.

5 years ago my little dog had a bad ear infection or at least 2 years and nothing we tried, both veterinary or natural cured it, until I found a 7 year old bottle o GSE in my cupboard. I put 2 drops pure in her ear and the next morning the discharge had dried up and she has been well ever since.

Now I myself used it pure on my thumb yesterday after suffering or 3 days with some very painful infection around my nail/cuticle. This morning I woke up cured with only the skin a bit dry.

What a remedy and what a wonderful site. Thank you EC.
