Is neem oil in dog toothpaste dangerous? What toothpaste should I use?

Question

Is ingesting neem oil dangerous/deadly for dogs? I’m looking for new toothpaste for Athena and the Vet’s Best Dental Kit has really great reviews with the exception of one. The one review said that neem oil is toxic to dogs. However, no review ever said any negative side effects happening to their dog. The negative review didn’t even use the toothpaste. So is Neem Oil actually very dangerous in a dog’s toothpaste? If so, is there a brand of toothpaste you recommend for tartar and plaque?

Neem oil isn't listed as a toxic substance, but safety and efficacy studies are few and far between. That said, the amount ifbneem oil in the product pictured is likely not enough to cause serious toxicity. The amount used daily further reduces any risk. Personally, I like CET products for dental care. This is my own opinion unrelated to PetCoach or Petco. As long as you brush daily and have regular dental cleanings performed, Athena should have healthy teeth and gums. https://us.virbac.com/home/our-products/pagecontent/product-selector/cet-enzymatic-toothpaste-dog-cat.html
