Hi -

Did you get any success with what you tried? My yorkie had terrible teeth, she wouldn't tolerate brushing and I tried heaps of things. She had a dental once a year, but when she got older the vet preferred to leave them and eventually when I insisted they look, she had a lot removed.

I think with my time again, I will definitely work even harder on brushing. But my mother-in-law swears by those dental hide chews. I'm also researching the food that I give this time, Tink could only tolerate one kind of wet food in her latter years. So I want to find the best I can for teeth and health next time. I'm in the UK, too. So anything you find over here would be great to hear about.
