My Bella is 2-1/2 years old and has considerable tartar on her teeth. I brush her teeth daily and give her Petrodex chews daily. I cannot have her teeth cleaned as she has a partially collapsed trachea and her vet does not want to put her under. I have searched and based on information gained on this site have ordered CET toothpaste and Oravet. Is there anything else I could be doing to prevent tartar and possible even remove tartar that is on her teeth now? I cannot give her chews as she has a tremendous appetite and tries to inhale them whole(I already had to dig one lodged in her mouth out). I have to feed her wet food since dry kibble aggrevates her throat when she tries to swallow them whole. Any suggestions? As a sidenote, I almost lost her due to suffocation last year when her trachea became inflamed. Since then, working with our vet, we have her on a regimen of prednizone and antihistime and she is doing great. We just try not to let her get too excited and this seems to aggrevate her condition.
