*Sigh* Alright, I finally got my new dog. I love him to death. He's gorgeous he's sweet, and while his temperament is nice, he's more shy than I like (I prefer a much much harder dog), but I do suppose I can deal with that. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, his teeth are scuzzy. They need to be scaled. I've never scaled a dog's teeth in my life, but I'm not about to pay the vet to do it. This will be the first and ONLY time I ever scale Zander's teeth, because after that, he'll be getting raw bones, just like everybody else to keep his currently dun browns pearly white. What I want to know is, aside from a tooth scaler and perhaps some diluted hydrogen peroxide, what do I need to clean his teeth. Also, is there any way to soften the gunk on his teeth so it'll come off easier?
