Does your dog have bad breath? If so, do you brush his teeth?
We took in a stray this summer. His breath is still bad. No mouth tumors. Same diet as our other two dogs but his breath has been bad since day one. Teeth are very white but he does have plaque on the back teeth. So for those that brush, which paste do you like? |

Rawhide bones do wonders. We get the dental kind from Sam's Club. Half a bone a day, brush once a month, and his teeth are very white and clean. Our vet comments every time and asks what we do.
ETA - We use Pet Dental from Petco. I have also taken a pick to the teeth once or twice a year to pick the plaque. Sometimes you have to really dig on the plaque to get it off. |
| Toothpaste isn't necissary, the toothbrush does the cleaning. If you want to add some abrasive to help remove the staining and built up plaque just get toothpaste made for children that is without flouride or use baking soda. Remember your dog should be receiving yearly dentals from your vet. |
