| Hydrogen Peroxide for teeth cleaning my vet told me to use a gauze pad with peroxide on it and rub on lily may's teeth, he said that is the dog wouldn't let you do the inside of teeth, then just rub on outside of teeth, he said something about capillary action would get the inside of teeth. ( does this make sense?) i found this online, i forgot where i got it. Dog teeth health issues include tartar buildup, which can happen if your dog is drinking hard water. Tartar buildup leads to gum disease and possible tooth loss. You can remove tartar buildup from your dog's teeth by using a three per cent hydrogen peroxide solution or a one per cent hydrochloric acid solution. Use a rag and rub the solution thoroughly on the teeth. An easier way to avoid tartar buildup issues is to give your dog a raw marrow bone periodically. The gnawing motion and the thoroughness of the dog's attention to chewing and delight in the activity scrapes away tartar. It makes a mess and outside is the best place for a dog and a bone. Do not use cooked bones, which can easily splinter. |

| Interesting info. Just be careful with marrow bones... they are very hard and can cause dogs to chip their teeth. There are lots of other raw bones you can feed that are safer. |
