OK....First, let me admit that I am a BAD
puppy parent. Whereas, Miss Chelsea, our 35 pound mixed breed terrier gets her teeth brushed on a more or less regular basis (she loves the attention), Maggie never has. While Maggie may seem to be the gentlest, sweetest soul in the world, just try to get her to open her mouth!!!!!!!! She turns into the raging beast!
As a consequence of my inability to train her (even with a finger brush....I truly did try), it was necessary for me to take her recently to have her teeth cleaned. (Fortunately she didn't lose any in the process).
When we left the vet gave us a sample bottle of Oxyfresh Pet Oral Hygiene Solution, which is something you add to the pet's water to help keep their teeth clean. (It's like a teaspoon per quart of water that you use). He also gave me a small tube of Oxyfresh Pet Gel (something you can either rub on their gums (if they will let you into their mouths) or just put on the tip of their nose for them to lick off. Again, it's supposed to keep the tarter down.
Anyway, before I go and buy a bunch of this stuff (Oxyfresh does have website where you can order the products for MUCH LESS than what the vet's office wants to charge), I thought I'd ask whether anyone else has heard of the product and/or uses it? It doesn't seem to contain anything that can harm these little guys, and anything that'll help keep the teeth clean in a breed known for dental problems seems a good thing.
Any thoughts??????????
