YT 5000 Club Member | Does the vet??? Clean the dogs teeth or do you take them somewhere else to get them cleaned? Gidget is 4 years old and I have never had it done, I just always do it myself. I think she needs to get them done though just to make sure they are good and clean! Who does it and how much should I expect to pay? Thanks for any advice!!!

| The vet does it. Mine charges $110 but that is low in comparrison to what I have read others had it done for. They put them under anastethia so you have that cost.

| My vet did Sabrinas and it was about $160.00 including blood tests. If I were you - I'd learn how to brush them and do it yourself! I didn't know you needed to brush their teeth. I'm training my new girl now. She thinks a toothbrush feels good, so when I start brushing, she won't fight it like my 10 year old. There is some kind of a scaler you can get and the vet can show you how to use it, or someone who already does their pup's teeth. I don't think they need that very often if you brush or they eat hard food. Anyone else have advice???

| Add to water. You can add this stuff to their water and it is suppose to prevent tartar. I use this stuff and Simon and Nigels teeth are super white and clean. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...&N=2001+113375 |
