I use Virbac toothpaste, comes in beef and chicken mmmm.
Make sure to brush the teeth because if they get gum infections that cause stinky breath it can also lead to intestinal infections and blood infections.
I bought a baby toothbrush kit at the drug store and it has silicone teeth on it. Virbac also make a formula that you can put in the drinking water. It's enzymatic and will work on your babies teeth.
I'd rather spend $12 on a tube of paste and $3 on a brush than $600 for a vet to clean his teeth. My vet gave me a pat on the back when I bought the toothpaste.
Now the bathing thing, I bathe Teegy every three months. I do groom him every couple of days and rinse him off with water if he's been rolling around in the dirt at the park. I see a lot of you bathing your dogs weekly, would this not strip the natural oils from the hair? |
