She's never had a strong bite. Couldn't play with toys easily. |
My girl is fed raw and has not needed a cleaning during her first 3 1/2 years of life. A good raw food still contains the enzymes needed to prevent plaque deposits. Kibble is highly processed food and does not clean teeth.
There was a member here that posted the pictures of her dog's teeth before and after treatment with a liquid enzyme. It was impressive but I don't remember what brand she used. I have read good reviews on Leba III dental spray. It can remove plaque and also keep it from forming but if your dog already has rotting teeth they need to be attended to by a vet. The enzyme cleaners are good for a young dog that does not already have decayed teeth.
