INTERVIEW WITH DR. DAGMAR BRUNNER

Why is the use of emmi®-pet recommended in addition to professional tartar removal at the vet? And how often should emmi®-pet be used (daily, weekly, monthly)?
Why is the use of emmi®-pet recommended in addition to professional tartar removal at the vet? And how often should emmi®-pet be used (daily, weekly, monthly)?
Regular use of emmi®-pet prevents renewed tartar build-up. This reduces painful inflammation of the gums and existing inflammation heals through the use of the ultrasonic toothbrush. The gums are strengthened and remain healthy. The frequency of using emmi®-pet depends on the condition of the dog's gums and teeth. If the ultrasonic toothbrush is used daily, only parts of the teeth can be cleaned, as tartar forms particularly quickly on the canines. If you treat your dog weekly, I recommend cleaning the entire set of teeth.
Should emmi®-pet be used daily as a prophylactic measure or can the ultrasonic toothbrush also be used to remove existing tartar?
Should emmi®-pet be used daily as a prophylactic measure or can the ultrasonic toothbrush also be used to remove existing tartar?
The ultrasonic brush can be used daily without any problem, but it doesn't have to be. Ultimately, how it is used depends on the dog and the condition of its teeth. As a general rule, smaller breeds are much more susceptible to tartar buildup than larger ones. With emmi®-pet, existing tartar can also be removed without any problems. Of course, the less tartar there is, the easier and faster it is to remove. I therefore advocate using the ultrasonic brush as a preventative measure and not just when the teeth have already rotted.
Which diseases can be prevented by regular use of the ultrasonic toothbrush?
Which diseases can be prevented by regular use of the ultrasonic toothbrush?
With regular use, gum inflammation and tartar build-up can be prevented. The ultrasonic toothbrush strengthens the gums and ensures healthy teeth.
What experiences have you had with the emmi®-pet so far?
What experiences have you had with the emmi®-pet so far?
I have only had the best experiences with the ultrasonic toothbrush and recommend it to a large number of my customers time and again. I regularly use emmi®-pet in my practice, and even when I have to put dogs under anesthesia due to severe gum inflammation, the ultrasonic toothbrush is often my method of choice. Because, unlike conventional instruments, the tartar can be removed quickly and easily with emmi®-pet. The ultrasound kills the bacteria that cause the painful inflammation in the first place, and the inflamed gums quickly regenerate thanks to the gentle ultrasound.
For me, there is no gentler and more effective method than the ultrasonic toothbrush. That's why I'm keen to recommend emmi®-pet to dog owners so that they can spare their four-legged friends unnecessary anesthesia. I've also got myself an ultrasonic toothbrush for humans and I'm thrilled. And if it's good enough for me, it's got to be good enough for my four-legged friend.

INTERVIEW WITH DR. ISABELLA KÜHN

For which dogs is the emmi®-pet ultrasonic toothbrush suitable?
For which dogs is the emmi®-pet ultrasonic toothbrush suitable?
The ultrasonic toothbrush is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds. There are no restrictions.
From what age can I use emmi®-pet on my dog?
From what age can I use emmi®-pet on my dog?
There is no reason not to use emmi®-pet as soon as the dog's teeth change. In fact, it brings many benefits: the dog gets used to it at an early age and tartar formation is slowed down, and in some cases even avoided.
Does emmi®-pet attack my dog’s tooth structure?
Does emmi®-pet attack my dog’s tooth structure?
The gentle ultrasound used cleans the dog's teeth very gently and does not attack the dog's tooth structure.
How do I get my dog used to using emmi®-pet?
How do I get my dog used to using emmi®-pet?
Dogs react very differently to the use of the noiseless and vibration-free ultrasonic toothbrush. Getting used to it through direct conditioning with positive reinforcements such as treats usually shows quick results. In this way, dog owners teach their pets in small steps and with lots of praise to stay still while using emmi®-pet.
Should emmi®-pet be used daily as a prophylaxis or can the ultrasonic toothbrush also be used to remove existing tartar?
Should emmi®-pet be used daily as a prophylaxis or can the ultrasonic toothbrush also be used to remove existing tartar?
I recommend using the device as a prophylactic measure to reduce the formation of plaque and keep the dog's teeth healthy.

experience report
"We (Bettina Ficner, Sandra Piazza-Wagener, Renate Pomp) shouted in short intervals. After a short break, the dog owner, who had no experience with the emmi®-pet, pushed the tartar plate down with her fingernail with a little pressure at our instruction.
We, Bettina Ficner, a long-standing member of the Terrier Club, Sandra Piazza-Wagener and I, were at the special exhibition of the Terrier Club e.V. in Bensheim on July 9, 2017.
After the actual exhibition, we did a separate demonstration for the members of the club, since they had been busy entertaining the exhibitors all day long. This is how we got these results.
This event triggered a bulk order from the Terrier Club. Bettina's website will appear on their homepage in the future. We have already been invited to further events.” – Renate Pomp, July 2017

experience report
"We have been using the emmi®-pet for almost a month now. Our Pluto has now got used to brushing his teeth. The result is simply sensational. I don't regret having followed a friend's recommendation! Our dog's tartar has completely disappeared after just a few uses and his gums have also regenerated. My compliments to the "makers"! Simply great..." - Dietmar Renner, Linz

emmi®-pet Ultrasonic Toothbrush Reviews

Dörte Sladek from Kaufbeuren
The toothbrush is quite easy to use and it works well, as some tartar has already come off my dog's teeth. The brush had turned a dark color. It was difficult the first time I brushed because my dog didn't really want to. The more often you do it, the easier it becomes as he gets used to it. He seems to like the toothpaste, and he always starts sucking on it with his tongue. With a little practice, I can recommend the Emmi ultrasonic toothbrush. My dog's bad breath has improved, but it hasn't completely gone. Perhaps this will improve with more frequent use.

Manu Goebel from Schwalbach
We have been using the emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush for almost 2 weeks. After an initial period of familiarization, our dog can be “treated” with it without stress. We practiced with the brush head every day, and at first the dog was allowed to sniff and lick it, as well as the toothpaste. It was only after a few days that we put the head on the handle and started actively cleaning. We were able to see visible success on the outside of the teeth quite quickly; the inside is a little more difficult, but with a little practice, it can be done.
All in all, the dental plaque has already decreased significantly in this short time and if we can spare our dog an expensive dental treatment under anesthesia with this toothbrush, the emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush is definitely worth its price.

Manon Grossmann from Borkow
The packaging of the toothbrush is very high quality and gives an immediate impression of superior quality. The scope of delivery was very extensive and we were able to use the toothbrush after charging it for 12 hours.
My dogs are not used to having their teeth brushed, so we started slowly by letting them sniff the toothbrush first. What was very unusual at first was that the EmmiPet makes no noise or movement. You can only tell from the green light that it is on and that only works when the brush head is attached.
We applied a little toothpaste every day and held the EmmiPet on each tooth for 5 seconds. They didn't like the taste so much at the beginning, but after 7 days they tolerated it quite well. On days when we didn't have the patience to do it as regularly, I applied the toothpaste gel to the back of their molars.
After the first few applications, there was already a noticeable reduction in the loose tartar and dirt on the teeth. Now, after 2 weeks of use, the inflamed areas have decreased and even the stubborn plaque is slowly coming off. I am very surprised at this effect and am pleased that my dogs can now be spared a dental cleaning under anesthesia.
The effort was quite large in the initial phase, since the dogs were not enthusiastic, of course. But now it is going quite well and we have increased the application interval to every three days.

Manuela Trendelberend from Gütersloh
The handle must first be charged, which takes 24 hours and is indicated by the blue LED. When the LED goes out, the battery is full.
The brush attachments can be easily plugged in and unplugged, yet they still fit well. Starting point: My dog is a 3.5-year-old Tervueren Belgian shepherd dog with severe discoloration on her fangs and lighter coating on her molars. No bad breath. She has a very good relationship of trust with me. She is a certified rescue dog, so she has a strong character and is not timid.First application: My dog looks at me a bit skeptically, lets it happen, she tries to wipe the toothpaste away with her tongue. Since the toothbrush does not vibrate and makes no noise, she does not have a strong aversion. For me, it's rather strange that I need neither pressure nor movement when brushing. Slight soiling and plaque are gone after 2-3 applications. The tougher ones weaken a bit, but are still there. I can't say whether they will go away after such a short time.
I think the Emmi-Pet ultrasonic toothbrush is a good choice for a normal dog/human relationship. With very fearful dogs, it takes patience and a careful approach to avoid building up an aversion. Since the device neither vibrates nor makes any noise, it is really only getting used to the device.
I have not yet tested the Orozyme Tooth Care Gel because I consider the Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Toothbrush to be more important and did not want to falsify the test.
