If your dog is only 1 year old, her adult teeth are just a few months old, so they should not need a cleaning. I also use Petzlife, and I'm very happy with the results. Petzlife is said to soften tartar and you brush it away later. We also use a hard bully stick that I believe helps clean tartar off teeth. I think it's important to have your dogs teeth examined yearly, but how often your dog will need a cleaning is probably related to what type of preventative program you are using. Yorkies are known to be tartar producers, so it's good to be using something, and never too early to get them use to a toothbrush! |
