Our verdict
Twist and Lick Dental Gel from Vetality is a no-brush peanut butter gel meant to be licked rather than brushed on, with a 30 day supply per tube, and its 4.1 star average across 633 reviews suggests it works reasonably well as a low effort addition to a dental routine.
Dogs that won't tolerate a toothbrush and owners who want a lick-on gel they can apply without a brushing session.
Skip if
Your dog needs active brushing to break up existing tartar, since a lick-on gel is a lighter touch approach than mechanical brushing.

Overview
['This 2 oz tube of peanut butter flavored gel is designed to be applied without brushing. Vetality markets it as a 30 day supply meant to clean teeth and freshen breath, with effects the brand says can last up to 24 hours per application.', "Because dogs lick rather than have it brushed on, it's aimed at dogs that resist a toothbrush, or at owners who want a faster daily step to add on top of chews or other dental products. The tube has a spout for controlled application.", 'At $17.97, it costs more per ounce than a standard toothpaste tube, which reflects the no-brush application method. With 633 reviews and a 4.1 star average, plus roughly 2,000 units bought in the past month, it has a solid following among owners looking for a simpler dental step.']

Performance notes
As a gel dogs lick rather than have brushed on, this product relies on the ingredients coating the teeth and gums through saliva contact rather than mechanical scrubbing, so it's best thought of as a supplement to, not a replacement for, actual brushing or dental chews for dogs with heavier tartar buildup.
What buyers say
With 633 reviews at a 4.1 star average and about 2,000 units bought in the past month, this product has meaningful repeat demand, though its rating trails some of the higher rated brushed toothpastes in the same category.
