I just finished grooming 3 dogs - Two older mixed breeds. -- Total these two maybe have 6 teeth-- in all my years in dogs. I have had to have 1 tooth on two dogs pulled because they were broke bad or cracked and were causing problems. I don't have my dogs teeth cleaned by vets but they do get bones on a regular basis How many of you have your older guys that need a lot of teeth pulled. Now my clients take good care of their dogs and get their teeth cleaned on a regular basis- (they don't want to face me if it is not done by their next appointment) Do the large breeds have less teeth problems don't think I have ever heard of large dog having the majority of their teeth pulled sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
