I don't care what dogs chew on, it is NOT a way to clean teeth. Food also has nothing to do with it. I don't know what kind of vets people go to, but my vet has NEVER told me what to feed my healthy pups....she only recommends RX foods that sometimes are needed for different conditions. I am just appalled sometimes by the remarks people make about vets in general and dog food. Totally unecessary and not true...they don't make a fortune selling dog food...they do it to HELP DOGS BE WELL.
If you want to feed raw to your pups, fine, but don't make it that it is because vets are ripping people off. I personally won't feed raw because of the risks involved and because I do have some pups with medical issues. I also will never give them bones. They simply don't need them. I see no benefit at all. That's my call...not my vets.
Dentals are necessary in MOST yorkies...it IS genetics as 107barney has said and I don't believe anything will remove plaque but a professional cleaning. |
