Pet Friendly
PASSED EFFICACY TESTING – In a Good Clinical Practice Efficacy study, sixty dogs had their teeth cleaned and their calculus measured. Half of the dogs were given bluestem treated water and the other half were given regular water. After 84 consecutive days of using bluestem treated water, the calculus score for the treated dogs was 25.4% lower than the control group.
PASSED SAFETY TESTING – In a controlled Good Scientific Practice (GSP) study, the safety of the water additive was tested over 30 days with some dogs receiving 5 times the recommended dose. After 30 days, the test revealed no evidence of adverse effects related to the consumption of the water additive.
PETS ENJOY IT – Along with safe ingredients, our pet water additive will have your dog coming back for more! No more struggling with your pet in order for them to drink. If ever your pet is hesitant, just start with a quarter dose for the first week then slowly increase the dose as they become more used to it.
Helps Fight Tartar
Tartar, also called calculus, forms below and above the gum line and is a common place where bacteria multiply. When bluestem enters the pet’s mouth, its binding agents immediately attach to the bacteria’s food supply and wash it away. This softens the tartar, allowing it to be more easily removed as your pet chews.
Easy to Use
Just add 2 capfuls to your pet’s drinking water every time you refill the bowl. bluestem products are manufactured in Canada with 100% food-grade ingredients and are safe and effective for daily use
Safe Ingredients
All bluestem products are made with food-grade ingredients and are safe for your pet. All bluestem products are also Notified under Health Canada’s rigorous Veterinary Health Products (VHP) program.

Great Product
I have used one bottle of Bluestem Oral Care in my dogs water so far and the results are amazing. Her teeth were so bad especially in the back. After only a few days I could really tell a difference in her breath and teeth in the front. After using the bottle I can tell a difference in her back teeth. They are actually starting to look much better. The plaque is coming off which I am so glad of. I got her when she was three years old and her teeth were very bad. I tried several different products and this is the only one that has made a big difference in her teeth. I am ordering a second bottle and plan to always use it in my dogs water. Thank you so much for a wonderful product. I highly recommend this product for any one who wants to keep their dogs teeth clean and breath fresh.

Good product
We are on the second bottle of unflavored BlueStem and my dogs do not have a problem with it in their water. One dog has some tartar build up on her back molars. The tartar was not completely eradicated, but has abated, and new tartar is not evident. Her gums are no longer reddish (bacteria), so I’m happy with the progress so far. I used to have them on PlaqueOff, but it stopped working, so I switched to BlueStem. Delivery is prompt! Sometimes Prime 2-day is more like 3-4 days, but BlueStem is delivered to you on the promised day.

Less smelly pups means happier owner
I was skeptical when ordering this because Iâve purchased similar products from Walmart and petsmart before, and all were a fail. They were a fail because either the dogs did not like the taste, or the dogs like the taste so much that theyâd drink the entire bowl in one sitting.This product from bluestem is perfect because is has no taste or smell. The dogs do not even notice it is in there.Iâve used it for about three days now, and Iâve definitely seen results. I have six dogs in total. All sizes and all ages and itâs working for all of them. I can also see their teeth are whiter since using the product.For the larger dogs I use two capfuls in their bowls and for the smaller dogs I use just a little less than a capful. I also wash the bowls every day and start fresh.Iâm recommending this to all my other dog Mom friends.

I received a used product
Absolutely disappointed!! The bottle was inside a plastic bag with tape around the lid. The liquid was spilled in the bag and when I opened it, the seal was broken. I received a used bottle.

Anyone Use This For 2+ years Or More?
Non-flavored bottle review… I’ve been adding this to my 12 lb dogs water each morning for 6 months or so. Yes, it helps her breath some. Yes, I notice a small change in her tartar build up but this is NOT a replacement for having your dogs teeth cleaned professionally nor does it replace brushing their teeth. Yes, the ingredients are listed as food grade but after Googling all 5 ingredients, I have some concerns. I am curious if anyone has been using this product for more than 2 years & if so, how their animals health is.

Works well. Shockingly well.
Wow. My dog has terrible breath. I mean, like it smells like hot garbage in the summer in Alabama bad breath. I love him, he’s clearly the best dog ever, but his breath is just so terrible. When he yawned, you could smell his breath from the other end of the couch. I have to get his teeth cleaned nearly every year and I’m very worried about the long term effects on his health. So I brush his teeth, give him tons of chewy dental treats, and make sure to keep an eye on his teeth and breath. Trying this product was sort of a last ditch effort to use something before having to get his teeth cleaned again. Turns out this thing works! It was remarkable within the first week, even the first day. He’s pretty picky, so I thought he might turn his nose to it, but he didn’t, and he seems to like it. I’ve been using this for about six weeks now and you can see a difference in the plaque on his teeth as well. I still do brush his teeth and he gets dental food, but the biggest difference seems to come from this water additive.

What The Heck Was I Thinking.. It Turned Out Better Than I Thought It Ever Could!
At first I read about all the different dental things for dogs and didn’t believe anything like this would work. His teeth were starting to look a bit on the yellow side and I was sure he’d need a cleaning soon. Being a senior on a fixed income , I knew I’d have to save for it so in the meantime he needed something. I knew that my furry son wouldn’t go for the tooth brushing and the wiping would be a battle for both of us, then I saw this oral treatment and after reading the reviews I thought let me give it a try. OMG, after 3 weeks of using it , his teeth are a sparkling white !!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it and showed everyone I knew the results (mommy had to brag on his dazzling smile now). Long story short, give it a try and see the great results (no side effects for him either)!! I’m off to order another bottle, maybe two more bottles.

Seems to work well for both of my dogs, helps with bad breath and helped with my younger dogs tarter in between a few teeth.

No more stinky dog Breath

My dog hates getting his teeth brushed. I have tried different additives, but this one is clearly the best. They don’t hate the taste, and it has removed the tarter from my shihtzu’s teeth. Their saliva tends to coat their teeth in a brown yucky tarter and I am absolutely amazed at how this additive removes it. If you are frustrated trying to clean your dogs teeth, try this brand. Like I said, I’ve tried 3 others and have 3 mostly full bottles. This is the only one that I found works!

Well I have two older cats so as you can imagine 14 years plaque of coarse can add up and I didnât know what to do and I wasnât about to spend hundreds of dollars and taking them to the dentist when I donât spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on myself going to the dentist because my teeth arenât that bad so what am I to do and I tried The spray stuff that you have to do every day couple times a day right in their mouth itâs minty and and they really donât like it I even took an old Oral-B electric toothbrush and would try and brush your teeth with it no toothpaste just water in the one cat he thought it was more like a toy and just hold onto it and just rub it against his whiskers he was cute made a video and posted on YouTube but still plaque not gone specially on the back teeth on the sides so theyâre 14 years old going on 15 now very healthy cats so they have a long way to go and Iâm not about to go brushing your teeth Siri whatever every day so what to do so I came across this stuff and you just add it to the water I got the non-flavored non-you couldnât smell anything and so far Iâve been using it for a while I mean youâre never gonna have perfectly white teeth but I want to prevent from their teeth falling out Or anything the front teeth are nice and white still and then one cat he drinks a lot of water and he chews on little things so his teeth are a lot better than the other I was looking at his teeth today and I noticed that his teeth have gotten better now the other one with lotta plaque on his back teeth I havenât looked at his yet but when I do but he still doesnât drink as much water as the other one but when I do Iâll see if it has made a difference if it has made a toll difference since heâs the one that likes it or Iâll be toothbrush or anything the front teeth are nice and white still in the one cat he drinks a lot of water and he chews on little things so his teeth are a lot better than the other I was looking at his teeth today and I noticed that his teeth have gotten better now the other one with lotta plaque on his back teeth I havenât looked at his yet but when I do but he still doesnât drink as much water as the other one but when I do Iâll see if it has made a difference if it hasnât made a total difference since heâs the one that likes it or Iâll be toothbrush I may look into buying that toothpaste that goes with the water and I made so often just slightly brushed the back but so far it didnât make them sick I followed the instructions and so far so good itâs been over a month now for two months now I believe and yes so nothing in there like a litter box looks unusual Like I said theyâre still eating there has been no vomiting or still acting normal so thatâs a great sign I would highly recommend us I know they have bacon flavored or chicken flavored water I think that would be geared more towards dogs or maybe cats if they tend to be fussy maybe they would drink more but my cats enjoy water so so far so good I will continue to buy this I mean it may not take all the tire off but also can help prevent from things getting worse and these guys arenât going anywhere anytime soon theyâre very healthy cats so I want their teeth to be there so they can continue to eat dry food I would recommend it for any dog or cat really is on is their stomach can handle it I wish I knew about this a little longer ago.

Ok. So observing the effect of this product will take a long time, even admitting that we can see the results ( as it is more a protective action than a cleaning action ). However, I put a cap and a half right the first day, and both my cars didn’t notice, which I was a bit afraid of :)Removing a star of the product as the price raised by 16% in the last 2 months.So far so good 🙂
