I have 2 very good scalers and do everyone's teeth monthly with them. All plaque removed. Once a week I wrap gauze around my finger and dampen it, put baking soda on it and rub all the teeth down well. Had a judge at our last show comment on what great, clean teeth my 7 year old had........it takes a little work. When I can get them, I get the leg marrow bones about 4" long and let them all have a great chew on them Molly In a message dated 4/5/2012 10:31:13 A.M.

Good thing shes already finished. Lol. She is not a happy camper today.In the past I have given beef marrow bones, brushed them, used an enzyme spray, and have had them cleaned in the past. Nothing works. I feel genetics plays a big role in this as her mother also had trouble with her teeth. My Vet blames some of it on the fact that they are big mouth breathers.Besides the fact that I hate putting them under the cost is tremendous.Any suggestions would be appreciate ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
