| How do you keep your dogs teeth clean? How do you keep your dogs teeth clean. I feed my dogs a raw diet and thought that would keep their teeth clean but I looked in my 2 year old Yorkie's mouth and noticed her teeth looked yellow near the gums. |

| Brush with CET toothpaste daily. OraVet weekly. Floss when I'm not being lazy. Dentals as needed.

| Brushing, which I am really bad about. I use Proden PlaqueOff every day. Petzlife once a week or so. Bones (bully sticks and Himalayan chews)

| I brush every other day with an all natural toothpaste. On the days that I don't brush her teeth, I use Petzlife Gel. |

Luckily, the new guy is very compliant and easy to handle, so he's been great about letting me brush his teeth. But I didn't know you can floss, too. What do you use to floss your dog's teeth? Regular human dental floss? How well does your dog tolerate getting flossed? Also, do you or anyone else have any experience with CET's chews? Amazon.com: C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews... | |

| It's very rare to floss. For a lot of dogs, there would be risk involved because it's string in the mouth. The most important thing to remember is that you have to be extremely careful that it isn't swallowed. I have used the regular dental floss (long string in a plastic box) before. She doesn't like when I go in between each tooth, but she likes when I hold both ends and she runs it through her own teeth. lol. I have also used the individual flossers with the plastic handles (like 100 to a bag). Hands don't get as slimy that way and there is less risk of them swallowing some, but be careful not to hurt the gums with the plastic edges on those things. She pretty much hates it unless she gets to play with it, but she isn't given a choice.

I've been using Teddy's for about a month now...or two? I think it is helping w/ teeth, to be honest. It's not a *huge* difference...but I can tell a difference. Quote:
