| just took my yorkie to the vet i just bought a yorkie yesterday 14 months old and took him to a vet in my area. he told me to give him a raw chicken neck a few times a week for his teeth. this will help the tarter that he has and prevent more. has anyone heard of this? also he said to take ester c powder and mix with water and clean his teeth with a washcloth dipped in it. has anyone heard of this? |

| Hi and welcome to YT. Also congrats on you new baby. . I have heard of the raw chicken thing being fantastic for the teeth and some on another forum swear by it. Most here don't. I gave Rocco a raw wing once and I got scared and never did it again. But he loved it. I have never heard of the ester c for teeth cleaning. |

| I've heard of the raw chicken neck, but I'm too afraid to try it. I give mine lots of chew bones and toys, and I brush his teeth. |

My furkids Donating Member | I had never heard of such a thing! I'm not saying this isn't so, it just doesn't sound normal to me...you know the whole chicken bone thing...not to mention RAW CHICKEN! YUCK!

| I'm like everyone else here. I would be too scared to do that. I'm a big chicken myself, I guess.

| I've never heard of the raw chicken neck and I would never give one to my dog. Just doesn't sound right to me. I'd rather brush their teeth - much more sanitary.
