Our dogs always have clean plaque free teeth. We give them a big beef raw
knuckle bone once or twice a week.
Almost never ever have to clean their teeth ourselves.
Also years ago before we started the big raw bones.....we bought a "dog"
toothpaste with enzymes in it that worked
well. Now....the bones work better.....not to mention the dogs are happy
laying on the lawn gnawing a big bone.
PS....this will also likely meet with Ed Hill's approval. <G>

If you find out I too would like to know. Both Hawk and his son have terrible
plaque. It has cost Hawk several teeth, even though they get their teeth
brushed, have used Taxi-Groom, and raw chicken backs and necks. The girls have
no plaque just clean shiny teeth. Some are fed raw, some kibble, but since all
the girls have clean teeth and the males are horrible, I wonder if gender plays
a hand? Hawk's son has to go for a cleaning and I know he will come home with
some missing.

Yesterday I had Izzy at the vet's for some dental work. She has had a cleaning
5 times in the last 6 years. In between times, I have scaled her teeth and
brushed her teeth. Nothing keeps them clean. I fed her "raw" for a year & a
half--no difference. She (and the rest of the pack) have raw chicken backs and
raw bones--no difference. No one else has teeth like hers. Plaque, plaque and
more plaque--her teeth are gorgeous now, but it will not last. She has had 4
teeth removed through the years, 2 yesterday. I have decided that she's just
got (genetically) bad toofers. I am going to give her colloidal silver and
other immune boosters--don't know what else to do. Izzy has always been
healthy in every other way and like I said before, none of my other dogs has
this problem. After my long-winded explanation, can anyone tell me anything
else I can do naturally to help her? Since she's almost 9, I don't want her to
be put under anesthesia repeatedly for tooth cleaning. H E L P.
Da List is da best.
