Greenies now say new and improved easy to digest...are they safe now or still kinda if-y? What about the nutrident and the white bites?

Ever heard of Easy Brush? Its shaped like a bone and has bristles on each side of the knuckles of the bone and you give it to your dog for 2 minutes every day to chew on and it is suppose to clean gumline and help fight tarter buildup.

Lastly, in Dr. Foster and Smith magazine there is some Dental Cleanser solution you can use with a toothbrush, fingerbrush, or dental sponge they sell and it says it eliminates bacteria that causes plaque and eventually leads to gum disease. Is this any good?

Sorry this is long...I have just heard that Yorkies can get gum disease or at least really bad teeth if not brushed and cared for. Reeses does NOT like for me to brush his teeth and with the danger of greenies not digesting, all he really gets to attempt to clean his teeth is whatever a bully stick will help if any and the Booda bones with the little knobbies on it.

Any suggestions or information on anything??
THANKS!!!!
