As far as the teeth go, we use Petzlife oral gel and put it on their teeth I would say once every other day now. Emma will let me do whatever I want to her teeth. She would even let me floss them. She lets me get things out of her teeth and use the baby finger toothbrush. Miko is another story. He lets me do it, but gets tired of me messing with his mouth quickly and gets a little anxious. I don't like to stress him out, so I try to be quick and efficient.
The only thing that they both hate is beans!! |
Thanks for the input...I'm trying to decide whether or not to go off kibble completely. I still give them kibble sometimes in the morning right now-that way I think it at least helps clean their teeth, and they get whatever vitamins/minerals I might be missing when I cook.
I try and brush teeth, but I'm not that good at being consistent, and my Emma (like your Emma) will let me brush her teeth, but gets fed up after awhile. Milli is like your Miko, and gets freaked out, but I hold her down and do it quick anyway! Sometimes mommies know best!
I haven't talked to our vet about homecooking since I just started, and I'm not sure how they'll feel about it
We'll have to wait and see!
