Oh -- I want to add that his vet is amazed at how great his teeth look -- he won't tolerate me brushing them and this seems to do the trick as he chews on the bone several times a day. |
Jambo likes the blue nubby ones too. I believe they are called Dental Chews but I took them away from him when I saw that he was pulling off the nubs rather than just chewing on them for a good gum massage. The package says that it is safe for a few shavings to be digested and should pass but I have never see the nubs in his poop and personally him consuming something synthetic like this makes me nervous. I would however like to find a chewing type of thing that is good for his teeth so please offer suggestions.
