Not directly an answer, but it’s important to note that enzymatic pet toothpaste dissolves plaque, not tartar. While it does work well to slow down the build up of tartar it won’t prevent it 100% and won’t remove already present tartar (or at least not significantly). Pet toothpaste is great but, for most animals, not a complete replacement for full anesthesitized dental cleanings.
