What is the best thing youve found for a doggie chew that removes hard tartar2007-11-25 2:51:58

My three Chihuahuas will not let me brush their teeth, and believe me I try it daily, and I can't rely on petstore employees as they only know what they have heard from the company reps who push the things. I do not want young, toothless Chi's, darn would that be sad or what?

Answers:

The only thing that is going to remove hard tarter is for them to go under anesthesia & have a full dental scaling. This gives the dr a good look at what's going on in your dog's mouth & if there are any other problems. It can become a serious health problem if left untreated. Once all of that nastiness is gone, then you can think of going with chews (such as the CET) to help keep the tartar down.

But as Virbac says, "Good to chew, better to rinse, but best to brush."

Hello...rawhide, tho most little dogs do not like them well & tho this will create waves ...RAW ( NEVER COOKED) chicken necks ... bones & all is safe when RAW - NEVER COOKED...I have lots of friends & professional breeder friends who do this diet ONLY, they won't even use baged, canned nor pouched foods & they were like this looooong before the recall ... great for keeping teeth clean !!Take Care :) P.S. NEVER nyla, greenies or denta bones, stick with Nature made, created chews not Man-Made, which is also causing illness & death in pets !!!

Greenies work well, but I believe that they are overpriced.
