I decided to do a poll on cleaning dogs teeth. I am a bad doggy mommy and didn't do it often enough and now Hayley has bad teeth . Milo's seem to be fine but i will be taking better care of them from now on. Unfortunately, Hayley's teeth are in bad shape but maybe i can make it better from here. I feel sooooo bad for her that i didn't keep track of her teeth better.
They can get better looking. Stains not so much, but you can get the tartar scraped off, or do it youself. Some of the staining can be scraped, but not all. I don't do it as often as I should, but do it at least here and there.
Oscar turned 4 on Christmas and I have never cleaned his teeth. They are pearly white too. I give him plenty of bones..I guess thats what keeps them sparkly clean.
I brush my dogs teeth weekly, sometimes more, I give them lots of bones and things to chew on. Koda, at age 2 had the cleanest teeth ever, and then after he got back(at age 3) his teeth were HORRIBLE! His "good home" didn't do anything that I had asked them to do. I went back to brushing and bones and now almost all the tarter is gone and his teeth are almost completely white again. We give lots of different Kong toys with nothing but hard crunchy treats in them(nothing soft) and he only gets dry food. Keep up one the brushing and make sure you watch what treats they get and ther will be sporting pearly whites soon enough! LOL
Yeah but here's the thing. I always give my dogs lots of bones and always dry food. I may add water at times but they eat it too fast for it to get soft. I have even tried that tarter control stuff that you put in their water. A lot of Hayley's teeth are too far gone. Milo's teeth are beautiful and white but even some of his bottom teeth are loose like Hayley's. My mom said that at their age and with always chewing bones, they will probebly have loose teeth. I just feel bad for her anyway.
