Dog teeth cleaning

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

i,ve just noticed My springer bitch as quite a bit of tartar build up on her teeth , shes only 21 month old .

i feed her on skinners maintance and raw tripe , she as a hide chew or 2 every day.

 

so why are her teeth looking so bad at this young age .

 

are there any good products or good cleaning regimes etc i could follow .

 

anyone got any good tips or is a vet visit the only way .

thanks

I brush my dogs teeth about 3 times a week with dog toothpaste. (shes a show dog) wet food can get stuck on the teeth so I only feed dry food and raw meat. You can get something called logic that you just rub on the teeth, no need to brush.

get bones from a farmer or butcher, the dogs love them, keeps them busy, and WILL clean their teeth nicely!

Used to work in a grooming parlour and they used to clean the dogs teeth with Eucryl powder toothpaste. Another thing they used to do was have a spray bottle with a dlute mixture of TCP and water which was sprayed in the dogs mouth to freshen it up. The third thing they use to do was to use one of those medium sized watch flatblade screwdrivers to remove the plaque/tartar from the teeth, you would just flick downwards with the flat broad edge, not actually scrap, sounds a bit brutal but it worked very well. Obviously you have to exercise caution. I have seen massive pieces of plaque removed this way.
