Do you brush your dogs teeth.
« on: November 20, 2013, 06:23:52 PM »
 

My dogs have always had their teeth brushed daily . Some were rescue or re-homed dogs which soon got used to it :luv:

 :005: We had three at one time who all used to sit and wait for their turn, so they must have liked it, probably the chicken
flavoured toothpaste  :005:

Yep we brush Fudge's gnashers.

He does not particularly enjoy the experience but sits patiently while we get on with it - bless him.

He mainly gets a build up of plaque on his back teeth which are the hardest ones to get to.  We currently use a normal doggy toothbrush and the usual flavoured toothpaste which he tries to eat before it has done its job!

Nope, never needed to with my two.  They get plenty of chews/raw carrots (sometimes frozen) from time to time, and they are very clean.

No.  I tried with Barney but he hated it.  I check their teeth regularly though but all three are fine.  They are raw fed like Teal so the bones help.

No and it's something i wish i had persevered with when she was younger....she is part raw fed but has a little bit of discoloration on her canines which i don't think is too bad for almost 6.x

Yes Jazz's teeth are brushed very regularly.  I have brushed them since he was a puppy.  I would not say he particularly likes it but he doesn't make a fuss, and yes always tries to eat the toothpaste from the brush.

Canines naturally tend to be
a little darker, it's nothing to
worry about. :blink:

George who is coming up to 9 next month :o and Hamish who is 6 are both prey model raw fed, both of them have lovely gleaming gnashers, thanks to their raw bones ;) I did try brushing George's teeth in the past, when he was fed on kibble but it stressed him out so much  :016: so that was mainly the reason, i changed to raw a few years ago. ;)

Yes, have done since the day I got him apart from 2 days...once when he'd had an operation and once when most of his baby teeth fell out one day (when he was a puppy it was mainly chewing hte brush and getting him used to it).

Before bed, he gets his teeth cleaned, wee and then bed :).

My mam and dad do it too when they look after him  :luv:, he has beautiful gnashers  :005:

We brush Sam's teeth.the in-laws lab will actually get himself in a position laying on his back so that you can hold him to brush  :005: it really is funny to see.hopefully Sam will copy this.they both love the chicken toothpaste  :D
