I brush my dogs' teeth 3-4 times per week, they get CET chews, and one's had 2 dentals. They'll chew some, but less in there older age. I've been looking at oral care products LEBA III and the PetzLife products. Does anyone have any experience with these or any other suggestions for keeping tartar and plaque at bay in older dogs?

It's great that you are brushing your dog's teeth regularly. Make sure that when you brush you do all the surfaces of all the teeth up to the gums and not just the incisors at the front. If you are brushing effectively with a good toothpaste (teatree is good because it freshens the breath too) then you shouldn't have a tartar build up. However, if you do have tartar the best thing you can do is to gently scrape the teeth with a dental scraper available from most grooming suppliers.

I've used picks for my older Dogs. Chew sticks seem to be the only ones they show interest in.
I haven't any experience with those products. But do a keyword for fosters and see what they have for older dogs.
Hope I helped

Bravo for you brushing your dog's teeth! In my own experience, if they are not givien any dry food, there is more tartar. All soft food and treats is a culpret for teeth tartar. The bully sticks are a good thing for them to chew on.

My dog started gett tarter after she turned two. I was concerned too. I started her on a raw diet instead of dog food. The next time I took her to see the vet, the vet couldn't believe it! No tarter... The raw diet can be found on the web. My favorite site for the diet is: njboxers.com

I would recommend a product by Oxyfresh named Pet Oral Hygiene Solution. You just add a little bit to your dog's drinking water and it helps to reduce plaque. We sell it at my clinic and have had good results.
