I've seen other brands that are cheaper, but I'm worried they might not be as good. Maybe I should give one of them a try though, just to compare.
Yeah, I see them around all the time, but I guess I'm curious to see which one works the best out of all of them  |
I would stay away from products that say they "freshen breath" this is just masking the problem; you need to treat the problem. So depending on what's causing the bad breath you do different things. There are certain liquids that say they soften tartar, but you still need to brush the teeth to remove the tartar. Tartar buildup causes gums to recede and pockets will form where food is lodged, and this causes bad breath, which then leads to tooth loss. You can see that using something to mask the problem isn't really going to help long term, and you need to get rid of the tartar. Profession tooth cleaning can do this, and many people have found that products such as Petzlife gel help. I'm also a huge believer in Bully Sticks too, and I think they help scrape the teeth, and keep them free from tartar. Remember tartar is a huge problem for yorkies. It's one of the breed's weeknesses.
