skycat 6,173 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 How old is she? Teeth shouldn't need to be pulled at any age unless the dog has a habit of chewing on rocks, or its been fed a crap diet and its teeth were all covered in tartar which had led to very bad gum disease.

luckyplum 50 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 whats crap about her diet ? so that i know in the future what should i be feeding her, cheers plum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 You can feed your dog what you want fella BUT a diet of dried food tinned meat processed biscuits and those near plastic chews have obviously had a detrimental effect on her teeth ... If she has had 12 of her 42 teeth she may struggle with a change in diet but if she can cope then put her on a barf diet there is loads of information on this site about it ... At the very least stop with the crap chews and give her raw bones to chew on they will help keep her teeth tarter free ........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Teeth should be white, not brown. It is very easy to tell if a dog has tooth problems: its teeth will be covered with brownish hard plaque, or just a layer at the top of the teeth nearest the gum this leads to gum disease. Teeth should be checked every week, just the same as claws or any other part of a dog's body. Chicken carcases and lamb ribs are nature's finest tooth brushes for dogs, but as Socks says, if she has had molars removed she may well struggle to cope with chewing anything much now. Hopefully this will be a lesson for you in the future with any new dogs you may have. I've sent you a pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,288 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Did the vet not give you the reason why 12 teeth had to be removed? And surely the vet should be advising you on the future dietry needs and general care of your dog.....Perhaps a change of vet as well as a change of diet mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
