Doggy teeth brushing?

This forum is for dog lovers seeking everyday advice and suggestions on health-related issues. Remember, however, that advice on a public forum simply can't be a substitute for proper medical attention. Only your vet can say assuredly what is best for your dog.

	Mika..I understand what you're saying, but most of what you've heard/read is a myth. Raw diet will not make your dog "bloodthirsty." It is, in fact, the biologically appropriate food for carnivores..which is what dogs are. A dog's digestive tract is much shorter than a human's, so the risk of salmonella, e coli is not as great. Thorough cleaning of surfaces & your hands will stop any contamination. The folks here on the Raw Forum are fabulous. Check out some of the threads there for great information.

	I am 11 1/2 yrs old and have never need the vet to clean my teeth. Cindy did brush my teeth for the first two years of my life, and I have always had Greenies and bully sticks. Good chews make a huge difference. I also like the Berry Crunch treats from Nutro and they give me berry breath for almost an hour...hee hee hee...so dry crunchy treats that include fruit can make the breath really nice too!

	We brush teeth everyday before bedtime over here. I like the nylabone toothpaste because it has Sodium hexamataphosphate in it and that has been known to help with tartar build up and we use a pulsar toothbrush. One of my dogs builds up tartar faster then the other. We don't do raw meaty bones because 1 I am scared of potential foreign body or issues after ingesting, 2 my dogs already have enough broken teeth from marrow bones. I look at dog teeth just like ours, they should be brushed! We couldn't get away with brushing our teeth with crackers, so why feeding a kibble diet full of carbs would help any dogs teeth? I have bully sticks but havent given them to my dogs yet. I have a blood thirsty dog lol. And he has never eaten a raw diet, unless he finds something and eats it outside! He has eaten bunnies fresh after kills and squirells etc.

	We bruch Mya's teeth once a day with toohpaste and finger brush that we buy at Petsmart. She likes the peanut butter flavor. She also gets one Greenie Teenie a day for controling plaque and also makes her breath smell nice. They are digestable and pliable and she likes them.
