Humm... I'm trying to remember where I heard that tripe wasn't good for teeth... Good to know. I also brush his teeth cause I can't stand the smell.
Gotta a question about the dog chews...
I give him these ones called "get naked" or something like that, they are grain free... I know that... he only gets 1/3 of one for a 5lb dog every other day... the other kind I feed are Z-Ridge "bones" made by Zuke. I'd love to hear your opinion on those. I had no idea they could cause stomach problems. I'm guessing they wouldn't do too much harm because I don't feed every day, or anywhere near the suggested amount.. But I'd love to know
