If i do give them bones ill give them bigger ones from now on b/c i kno he is really hard on them really fast. I did buy some green bones that they are supposed to eat for teeth and my mom gives them to her scottie and his teeth are blindingly white..of course he is pure black lol so that may have to do with it..but once i know timmys meds are done and he seems fine i may start giving him and spice one of those to split once in a while.
gotta love small dogs...they REALLY are babies~!  |
Green things as in Greenies???? I would avoid them totally! those things some time ago were causing obstructions in dogs.....the company now says they changed the formula, but I simply do not trust them.
Also.....to really evaluate the teeth, you have to look WAY back in their mouths. Many people make the mistake of only looking at the front teeth.
