My dog wouldn't drink the water...

My silky Louie is pretty finicky about what he eats, I'll be the first to admit. But he hated the taste of this so much, he wouldn't drink his water for days. He got so lethargic and dehydrated from only taking a few slurps, and he would drink the dirty sewer water or pooling water from sprinklers or the bath tub water before he would drink the water in his bowl. He would be drinking the treated water in his bowl and would make this weird wheezing sound, like he was being tortured into drinking water! I finally broke down and gave him some pure bottled water and he just slurped it up like it was a dog's version of chocolate!
This product definitely has a minty scent, and I'm tired of dog dental products having such a human-oriented scent! Dogs are not people, there is no reason for them to have minty-fresh breath and they don't want minty fresh breath nor does my particular dog like the products that try to accomplish minty fresh breath because of the taste.
I get it, we all want our dog's breath to not smell acrid and awful, but it doesn't have to be accomplished this way. He eats his dental treats every day, because they taste like something a dog would actually want to consume.
I couldn't tell a difference with tartar and improved breath because he WOULDN'T DRINK IT. SUCH a waste of money and time and such a horrible experience.
I was trying so hard to get dental health into his diet and wanted him to drink the treated water so bad, but I'd rather brush his teeth twice a day like I do mine than put him through the experience of this product. Do whatever you can to keep your dog's teeth healthy, but don't do this to your dog. I feel like I've been abusing him. Seriously.
Cons: Taste

Did not help my cat's breath

I have been using this product as recommended in my cats' water for 3 weeks and their horrible breath has not improved. It has, in fact, gotten worse. I'm sure this product works in some cases, but in mine, it did not.
Cons: didn't work
