How many of you guys brush, use those wipey pads, or buy special treats (such as greenies) for your dogs teeth? Mine get their teeth scrubbed once a week.... as well as their eyes wiped (nibbler has watery eyes, so we end up having to do his more often) and their ears wiped out.

We brush once a week. I have the fingertip toothbrush so that works well. The only problem I have is the liver flavored toothpaste, they each try to lick it so much their little tongues go crazy and I have a hard time getting to all the teeth!! Fred is really good, he just sits there, Alice you have to straightjacket and hope for the best.

OMG, BWAH!!!

 hahahaha  Ok, nevermind

Well, let's see.  I brush them once a week and also give them Nutrident chewies  (like greenies but different formula), use dental wipes sometimes, give them bully sticks once a week and provide the minty Nylabones for them.  Mayfly is a chewer so her teeth aren't bad.  Skipper and Mitzy and Loco don't chew on the minty Nylabones.  Mitzy will need her teeth cleaned probably next month.  Skipper had his done last summer.

Little Mitzy is my problem dental child....tiny mouth and not much saliva AND crooked teeth.

I give mine the minty Dingos too, they really like them. I also give them one mini dingo a night while we eat dinner (this is how we have delt with the begging) and they always have chew stuff out. Our vet said their teeth looked really good, both of them, and their gums were healthy. When I went to VetSmart to have them microchipped the lady there tried telling me they had bad teeth and I should have them clean them.  I told her show me any tarter on my dogs teeth and she avoided that so I told her to call my vet and see if she agrees and she didn't say much so I told her they shouldn't tell people their dogs have bad teeth to make more money for PetSmart, it's not right. She didn't push the issue after that, I don't think she expected me to know so much!!

Thanks for that. Mine has looked at our dog's teeth, but never said they needed to be cleaned.

PetSmart always tries to upsell their services. I was standing in there with my dogs looking at the toys and nibbler was sniffing around and fry was sitting there. A guy came up to me and i called nibbler to me where he sat down and the man started asking me about how their training was and telling me about the services they offer. When I said I prefer to train my dogs myself he said well are you a certified dog trainer? And I said no, can't you tell since my dogs are running amuck barking and peeing everywhere since they're both unneutered?

Then some other dog knocked over a display lol.

I think the Raw Meaty Bones Raw diet my girls started in November is gonna keep their teeth free of tartar from now on.  Button doesn't have bad breath anymore either.  Button just had hers cleaned but I think that will be the last time we'll have to do it.  Don't think Zipper's gonna ever have to have hers done.  The oral improvements they claim on raw diet really are true!
