Hey guys, my dog has been chewing daily her bone sometimes for hours, and after like what feels 2 weeks... her teeth are looking much cleaner, and the tartar is dissipating...

If I could only take a photo-- she only allows me to open her mouth for a second or two. If I had the before I could show the after as well.

I am still planning on taking her to get her teeth cleaned, but we're doing her vaccines still(she's getting a round every 2 weeks I think) and I don't want to put so much on her plate on one time.

The cleaning was quoted for 400-700

Still, like 80-90% of the tartar on her teeth have gone out.

Now that I saw her mouth, makes me wonder how many teeth a dog should really have, feels like she was missing some (not sure if I looked right)-- I'll ask the vet this upcoming week.
