My Yorkie wouldn't let me near her mouth with a toothbrush. I tried finger brushes, wipes, everything. She licked this right off the stick on day one and now she runs to the back door where I keep it every night. Her breath is noticeably better after about two weeks.

Description
Nutranics® LickShield™ was made for the dog that will not let you anywhere near their mouth with a toothbrush.
Twist the dial, click out the dose for your dog's weight, and hold it out. They lick the gel straight off the applicator. It is built to cling to the gumline and keep working after they walk away — no brush, no finger, no fight.†
No wrestling. No bitten fingers. No chew that is gone in sixty seconds.
Why do you need LickShield?
If you have already been through the toothbrush, the finger brush, the wipes, the dental chews, and the water additive your dog refused to drink — you know the pattern. Something works for a few days, then the routine falls apart and the breath comes right back.
LickShield was built for the owner who is done fighting. One daily step your dog actually volunteers for, which is the only kind of routine anyone keeps up.†
Benefits
- ✔️ Freshens breath so face-licks are welcome again†
- ✔️ Helps control plaque & tartar buildup between vet cleanings†
- ✔️ Supports healthy-looking gums†
- ✔️ No brush, no finger in your dog's mouth, no restraint
- ✔️ Clings to the gumline and keeps working after the lick†
- ✔️ Two seconds a day — simple enough that you will actually keep doing it
Recommended Use
Twist the dial until gel appears, then click out the dose for your dog's weight. Hold the applicator out and let your dog lick it clean. Once daily — many owners find bedtime works best.
You can also spread the dose on a lick mat or a textured dental toy if your dog prefers that.
Consistency is what matters. Most owners notice a difference in breath within the first 1–2 weeks, with more noticeable changes over 3–4 weeks of daily use.†
Important: LickShield is a daily home-care routine, not a replacement for professional veterinary dental care. Hardened tartar must be removed by a veterinarian. If your dog is pregnant or nursing, under 12 weeks, has an existing dental or medical condition, or is on medication, check with your veterinarian before use. Stop use and consult your vet if your dog has any adverse reaction.
Do you offer a guarantee?

Vet-Class Ingredients
In A Format Your Dog Volunteers For
The same class of antiseptic used in professional canine oral care —
delivered by a lick instead of a toothbrush.
Real Dogs, Real Results
See what our customers are saying about LickShield
Plaque Is A Bacterial Film — And It Starts Rebuilding Within Hours
Every day, a sticky film of bacteria forms along your dog's gumline just from eating and breathing.
Left alone, that film hardens into tartar you can't brush off. According to Cornell's Riney Canine Health Center, an estimated 80–90% of dogs over age three show signs of periodontal disease — and small breeds are hit hardest.
That's why so many owners notice:
A dental chew is gone in about 60 seconds. Brushing only helps if you actually do it every day.
LickShield clings to the gumline and keeps working after your dog walks away.†
What Owners Notice First
When owners stay consistent, the first change usually shows up where it matters most: breath you don't flinch from, a gumline that looks healthier, and a routine that finally sticks.

What's Inside And Why It Works

Chlorhexidine
The antiseptic class veterinarians reach for in professional canine oral care — now in a format your dog licks off instead of fighting you over.†

Sodium Bicarbonate
Plain baking soda. It gently buffers the mouth and helps neutralize the odors that make dog breath hard to be near.†

Bio-Adhesive Gel Base
This is the part that matters. The gel is built to cling to the gumline instead of being swallowed in one gulp, so it keeps working after the lick is over.†

Natural Chicken Flavor
The reason this routine survives past week one. Dogs volunteer for it — which means you are not restraining anyone at 10pm.

Metered Twist Applicator
Click out the right dose for your dog's weight. No guessing, no mess, no squeezing gel onto your finger. One tube is a 30-day supply.
What LickShield Actually Does For A Dog Who Hates Brushing
If the toothbrush, the wipes, the chews, and the water additive all got abandoned by week two, this is the difference: LickShield was built around the one thing your dog will reliably do.
Fresher BreathFace-licks you don't dodge.†
Bad breath comes from bacteria along the gumline, not from the stomach. Chlorhexidine and baking soda work on the source instead of covering it with a mint smell that fades in an hour.†
Healthier-Looking GumsWhere the real problem starts.†
Dental chews scrub the crown of the tooth and miss the gumline entirely. Because your dog's tongue spreads the gel where it sits, LickShield reaches the one place that matters most.†
Plaque & Tartar ControlBetween professional cleanings.†
Hardened tartar has to come off at the vet — nothing you buy online changes that. What daily home care does is help control the soft plaque film that turns into tartar in the first place, so you are protecting the cleaning you already paid for.†
A Routine You'll Actually KeepTwo seconds, no fight.
Brushing is the gold standard — for the small number of owners who manage it daily for years. The best dental routine is the one that still happens in month six. That is the entire design brief behind LickShield.

Your First Month With LickShield
Your dog figures out the twist stick is a good thing. Most owners notice breath starting to change in the first week — less of that sour smell when your dog yawns next to you on the couch.†
Lift your dog's lip and look at the line where the gums meet the teeth. This is usually where owners start noticing a difference — and when face-licks stop making you turn away.†
For most households this is just the routine now. Your dog shows up for it, it takes two seconds, and you are no longer the person who feels guilty every time the vet mentions teeth.†

What Veterinary Professionals Say
Why daily at-home oral care matters between professional cleanings.

"Chlorhexidine has been a staple in veterinary oral care for decades. The challenge was always getting it to stay on the gumline long enough to do its job. A bioadhesive delivery that the dog volunteers for solves the two biggest problems I see in my practice: owner compliance and patient cooperation."

"I tell every client the same thing: professional cleanings handle what's already there, but daily home care is what slows down the cycle between visits. Most owners stop brushing within a month. Anything that keeps the antiseptic on the gumline consistently — and that the dog actually accepts — is a step in the right direction."
Real Dogs, Real Results
★★★★★ From owners who gave up on brushing
My Chi is 11 and the vet said anesthesia was too risky. I felt completely stuck. This gave us a daily routine that she actually enjoys and her breath went from unbearable to totally fine in about 10 days.
Forgot to pack it on a 3-week road trip. Her breath came right back by week two. Got home, started again, cleared up in days. That's when I knew it was actually working.
Three dogs — a Pom, a Dachshund, and a mutt. All three sit and wait for their turn every morning now. Greenies were just expensive cookies they inhaled. This actually stays on their gums.
The vet quoted me $1,100 for a cleaning. My dog is 14 with a heart murmur. LickShield is our daily routine now between checkups and the vet said his gums look better than last visit.
Four stars because it took about 10 days before I noticed anything. But by week three the yellow on her back molars had softened up noticeably and her breath was way less sour. Needs patience but it's working.
My wife thought I bought the dog deodorant. It literally looks like a tiny deodorant stick. But he licks it right off every night and I don't turn my head when he yawns anymore.
My husband bought this for me after watching me struggle with dental wipes for years. I went from dreading bedtime to not thinking about it at all. He ordered one for his dog last week.
Retired last year. Expected to enjoy mornings with my dog. Instead I was dodging his breath every time he jumped on the couch. Three weeks on LickShield and I stopped noticing it entirely.
I adopted a rescue with terrible teeth. The vet said he needed a cleaning but I couldn't afford it yet. LickShield is buying us time and his breath is already so much better. I can actually cuddle with him now.
I tried Greenies, OraVet, TropiClean gel, the water additive my dog refused to drink. This is the first thing he actually asks for — he hears the twist click and comes running.
At my age I just assumed dog breath was permanent. My granddaughter found this online. A month later and her mouth smells like it did years ago. I should've stopped accepting it sooner.
Peanut butter flavor — my lab loves it. Chicken — also loves it. Breath improvement showed up around day 8. Only docking one star because the tube leaked a little in the box during shipping. Product itself is great.
I use it at bedtime so it works all night. By morning his breath is completely neutral instead of that sour wake-up smell. Best $18 I spend every month.
My Shih Tzu has crowded teeth. I was spending $40/month on dental chews she swallowed whole. This costs half as much and actually reaches her gumline. No comparison.
I was embarrassed when guests came over because you could smell my dog's breath from across the room. Two weeks in and my sister asked what changed. She didn't even know I was using anything.
Got the 3-pack. One for each of my dogs. The value on the bundle is solid and I don't have to remember to reorder every month. All three dogs love the chicken flavor.
I told my vet I was using a lick-on gel with chlorhexidine and she said that's one of the best things I could do between cleanings. The vet endorsement sealed it for me.
My wife used to hear me gagging from the other room every time our dog breathed on me. She told me last week she forgot he even had that problem. That hit me harder than any before/after photo could.
