Now, my question is for those w/pups that you brush their teeth everynight & they don't need bi/annual cleanings or even had to do cleaning for years...what toothpaste do you use & what do you feed? Bc I brush my guys teeth every night & the girls still have so much gunk forming on their back molars right below their gum line. It's not that bad now, but I can see yellow stuff. This is why I'm thinking it's genetics, bc Princess is Mimi's daughter, but Turbo who is Mimi's son has white teeth. BTW, they eat 100% soft food, moistened kibble, sometimes mixed w/canned food & they don't get any kind of chews. |
Moki chews. Eats Fromms with meats. Get veggies/fruit for snacks. Sure some maybe genetic but I brush the back of his Molars. I brush tooth by tooth. Its routine. I've had many dogs that let me. Only one that didn't had bad teeth. I figure any plague that is removed always helps. For ppl who think it doesn't work at all don't brush your teeth for 2 days. Look at the build up. Some ppl get more plaque then others but we all will get build up if we don't brush. I just use the Dog toothpaste forget the brand right now. JME
