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? |
some yorkies' coat gets oily, so it's ok to bath once a week. my milu has dry skin, so i try to wait longer than a week before bathing her. i give her ark natural oil to help with her dry skin.
