Best thing I have ever used is RAW chicken backs. I start out with a 1/2 chicken back at one meal and do this for 3 times in a week. The difference is amazing. Just remember to use raw.

My poor girl had her teeth cleaned and two pulled yesterday. 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 appreciated. =========================================================================== POST is Copyrighted 2011.
