They eat Primal frozen raw food. I know it's the bones in raw feeding that are supposed to keep the teeth cleaner but I think the raw food makes a difference too.
We use these treats - Tropican dental chews - they get one every evening. Amazon.com : Tropiclean 20 Count Advanced Cleaning Dental Chews for Small Dogs : Pet Supplies
I'm also pretty good at daily brushing with Tropiclean gel, and if I'm going to be away and can't for some reason I use the Tropiclean water additive.
It's been two years since the poodle with the tiny mouth has had a dental and she doesn't have a speck of tartar.

Thanks for posting these dental chews. I use tropiclean water additive and I like it better than all the other brands I bought including the expensive healthy mouth. I didn't know about the treats and just ordered them.
