YorkieMom - I've tried some teeth stuff. Petzlife has a fairly good reputation...but I was inconsistent w/ using it, and so I can't attest to it. I know others have reported good results.
I also used Plaque Off, and that was easiest in terms of compliance bc you sprinkle it on their food. I think it does help, and it's a fair price bc the jar lasts a long time.
Some have had luck w/ Leba III.
I think raw bones are the best for working the teeth. My kiddos are 8, 6, and 3 - and have never had dentals yet. I use RMBs and also various chews - the RMBs maybe once a week; various chews every other day or so.Oh, have you tried CET chews?? Excellent! Read about the dental chemical component of CETs. |
You cant get any better than that! RMB??? Raw Meat Bones??/What kind? and do you just get them from your grocery store or butcher? Some of these breeders have told me turkey necks are great for keeping the teeth clean. I am so scared of any kind of poultry bones...fear from hearing all my life NOT to feed a dog chicken bones! I think I will get some of these RMB's when you tell me what that is and where you get it....I have used Petzlife gel...guess I will try the Tropiclens as suggested....I will also try DentaStix, as I have not used them before
..."navillusc", I am hoping you will continue with your research into papaya and the use and risk/benefits ratio, if any, of papain....I have for some reason also been drawn to research this more closely....
I do have the CET chews, and while they are good, they are still going to be needing dentals in a year......
Teresa Ford, I couldnt agree with you more...there has to be a better way, a healthier way with less risks than going under anesthesia, for our babies....and breeders with more than a couple of dogs, have a very real financial drain to the tune of several thousand dollars a year, just in dental cleanings....there is something there we just have not stumbled on....
