Anyone brushes their dogs' teeth? I give her rawhide and her bottom jaw quite clean, slightly yellow but controlled. The top is ok but when I saw, I got a shock! 2 teeth extremely yellow. Scared might have to cabut. Just now I try to brush her teeth, she normally don't bite when I rub her teeth but she bite until got a bit of blood. Can vets brush your dog's teeth? She due for deworming+heartworm. Will try to bring her on Saturday.
Hi there... my Lady's teeth are brushed like once a month (hehe... not by me!). Erm... the groomer I take her to does that. But it's part of a whole grooming package. Am not sure whether she does just brushing... but no harm asking.
But on the whole, Lady's teeth is pretty white... then again, she really chews her kibbles and I guess it keeps her teeth clean. Also, I don't usually give her much sticky stuff.
If you want the number let me know. Not sure abt the vet... haven't tried asking them to do it for me
actually owners should brush their dogs teeth everyday after food. but how many can devote the time n' patience to do so? it is not easy to brush a dog's teeth, u have to train them when they are young pups, until they can accept the brush in their mouth without giving too much of a struggle. If u can't manage to brush your dogs teeth, i don't think your vet will able to do so unless the dog is sedated. so it is best to train your dog to let you brush their teeth before dental problems starts. check this site for more info.
Yup!!! You need to train them from young. Massage their gum and check their teeth when young so they are use to people touching their teeth. When it is time for brushing you don't have any problem.
